A Parent’s Peace of Mind

As a parent, you want the highest quality in every toy you bring home. This Santa Fe Locomotive is crafted with durable, heavy-duty plastic that stands up to bumps, turns, and enthusiastic driving. It’s a robust little car and truck hybrid that delivers stability and peace of mind. The low profile keeps the center of gravity near the ground, reducing the chance of tipping while your child navigates curves or climbs gentle inclines.

Cleaning is a breeze—simply wipe down the molded plastic surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. The onboard battery compartment is secured by a child-resistant latch, so curious hands can’t accidentally access the wiring. When playtime is over, you can park the locomotive in the garage or under a patio cover to protect it from the elements.

Simple Assembly for Quick Fun

You’ll spend less time scrolling through confusing instructions and more time watching your child’s face light up. Basic assembly requires attaching the handle control, snapping wheels into place, and plugging in the battery cable. All tools are included, and the detailed manual in both English and Spanish walks you through every step. In about 30 minutes, you’ll have a fully operational locomotive ready to roll.

Imaginative Play Beyond the Rails

Although it’s modeled after a classic locomotive, don’t be surprised when your child transforms this ride-on into a treasure-hunting car, a dune-bashing truck, or an emergency rescue vehicle. The sturdy hitch on the back accepts most Peg-Perego pull-along trailers, opening up limitless adventures—whether it’s hauling toy animals, delivering pretend cargo, or towing a flatbed truck full of blocks.

Encourage your little conductor to design paper tickets, build a pretend station, or choreograph a backyard railroad show. Sharing the ride-on experience with friends or siblings enhances social skills and cooperative play. Plus, outdoor exploration promotes healthy activity, coordination, and motor development.

Customer Tips & Tricks

• Pre-charge the battery overnight before first use to maximize performance.
• Establish a “train line” in your driveway or backyard with chalk markings to inspire creative track layouts.
• Pair with a play tunnel or obstacle cones to create an interactive obstacle course.
• Store indoors or under cover to extend the life of your ride-on locomotive.
