BRIO 33683 Double Suspension Train Bridge for Kids Age 3 Years Up - Compatible with all BRIO Railway Sets & Accessories, Multicoloured

If you are looking at this toy then you probably don't need convincing of the entertainment or educational merits of wooden railways, or wooden railways suspension bridges, so I will focus this review on comparing my daughter's experience of this Brio design with the very similar, but slightly cheaper, Bigjigs Suspension Bridge . In short, the Brio one is worth the extra few quid because it is of better design and build quality. The ramp track is easy for little hands to connect and sits flush with the bridge spans and the floor level tracks, whereas the Bigjigs bridge we had was more fiddly to connect and didn't quite fit properly, causing the track to stick up like an uneven pavement. The Brio design also has the supporting pylons built-in, making it quite stable when trains are being repeatedly pushed up and across it, whereas the Bigjigs version has separate wooden supports. The latter sounds more educational (i.e. it's something to build) but in practice my toddler found the Bigjigs bridge too frustrating to play with independently, since it easily fell down when trains are being pushed across it and was fiddly to rebuild. This is reflective of my broader experience of Brio versus the rest; my daughter's early sets were non-Brio and seemed fine, but once you have tried a few Brio sets you can really see the difference in the thought and care that goes into their design and construction and you will never look back.

Great addition to our brio collection. Really extend the track and kids love it

This is a really impressive looking and great fun addition to any Brio set. My son got it for his second Birthday and he really enjoys using it - especially watching the trains whoosh down the other side. We don't use the battery-powered engines because they drive him mad (he likes to be in control and push things), so I can't comment on how well these go up the slope. I think the price is pretty good when you compare them with other Brio items and the quality, as always, is superb. I've seen other makes at playgroups and have been less than impressed with their quality, durability and ease of use. I would highly recommend this product for any child who loves wooden trains.

Looks great, really fun and sturdy. My son loves this in his brio set.

Superb addition to a Brio track. This wonderful long bridge enables the trains to glide along and pick up speed. However, the design of the bridge provides you ample room to help move the train along if it so happens to stall midway. The height of the bridge allows you to put tracks under the bridge if you want to. It's a very sturdy bridge, I have often caught my son leaning on it to dislodge his dinosaurs which have ventured along it. It's actually a stunning piece to add to the collection. My son calls it Golden Gate Bridge, I can see why. Highly, highly recommend it. A must. Hope this helps?

This bridge looks very nice and is of nice build quality. The only slight issue is that if you (or your children, if you let them have a turn) use the Thomas battery trains, they do not always climb as well as on the Learning Curve track which is more grippy. You also need to buy extra ascending track if you intend to use it as two bridges.

Well-made wooden track bridge. Grandson very happy with this addition to his layouts.

The grandson loves it a great addition to his Brio trainset

Es cert que no es pot muntar en totes les formes que posa a la caixa, falten dues rampes. Però nosaltres les teníem extra, o sigui que sí que podem. Es un pont molt i molt xulo. Pots substituir la via del mig per corves, i vies més llargues, de manera que tens un pont per on passar els altres trens per sota. El circuit que tinguis queda molt més espectacular amb aquest pont, fa molta patxoca i segur que el nen o nena que ho rebi estarà content, i si no és per als vostres fills impressionareu als pares... Nosaltres el fem servir molt. Es resistent i de bona qualitat. Una bona compra. No l'he vist mai per sota de divuit euros, més de vint seria car.

My son loves it. It is bigger than expected.

Pont suspendu très joli pour le petit train de mon fils. C'est simple quand il l'a découvert il a voulu y jouer de suite alors que nous n'étions pas chez nous. Le pont est de très bonne qualité comme à l'accoutumé chez Brio. Il s'adapte parfaitement aux rails et trains des marques Ikea et Lidl. Je le trouve un peu cher bien que moins chez sur Amazon qu'en magasin.

By far the best bridge we have bought and come across to date. It looks great, designed well and durable to all the drops so far and there have been many. The bridge is high enough that you can place additional track pieces underneath and even allows for some of the higher train cars to pass through. My son can easily stick his hand into the bridge to move the train without knocking anything over or derailing the train which is great. The ramp inclines are standard that you would find with these wooden train sets. I wish they were slightly less of an angle as my battery locomotives struggle to make it up these when you have 5 cars attached. My only complaint about this bridge is its HUGE. It is great value for your money but when fully assembled it will not fit it on my son's Melissa & Doug play table. After you add the incline/decline there is not enough room to attach the turns at the bottom. It works great if you play on the floor. I built some platforms using duplo Lego blocks to build an elevated platform so I could raise the turn pieces and have the 2 pieces of the bridge on opposite ends of the table. This works well but detracts from the look which my son does not care about, only me. NOTE: the description says it can be separated into two pieces to make 2 smaller bridges and it can. However, you are only provided with 1 set of incline/declines pieces so you would have to purchase additional incline/decline pieces to use both or build an elevated turn like I did. Pros: - looks great - durable Cons: - doesn't fit on my son's play table - only 1 pair of incline/decline track

Mycket nöjd med allt
