Brio Cargo Transport Helicopter Review.

We have always loved Brio World for its amazing wooden quality toys. So when we got asked if we wanted to review the Cargo Transport Helicopter we flew in at the chance to review it! 

Lily has always been a fan of playing with things that are transport vehicles. She loves trains, cars, planes. But one thing she didn't own was a helicopter. So she was really pleased when she saw on the front of the box that she had been sent a helicopter. 


Inside the box there is the transport helicopter, a man, and some trains with cargo boxes that go on the top. 

The helicopter is red, white and wood coloured. The red and white parts are made out of plastic and the window area of the helicopter is made from wood. I love that there is a wooden element of this. The propellers are made from black plastic and spin around really well and it also has a window at the front which opens up so the little man can sit inside. Inside there is a little seat where he slots in perfectly. 



The helicopter is also on wheels so as well as making it fly you can also push it along the floor. The wheels move really freely so then it pushes easily. 

At the back there is a little flap that you open up and this is where you place the cargo. Any of the brio trains can be put into it but this set comes with 2 trains with 2 pieces of cargo for each train. As usual the trains connect together by using magnets. The pieces of cargo slot onto the train and if you have more brio train cargo this can also be added to the back of the trains.

The cargo is very clever. They are 2 white containers and inside has a wooden block. you push the wooden block into the container and it has a magnet inside which them holds it in place. I think this is great because it stops children getting frustrated when things fall out. 



Which brings me onto the next point that when the cargo is inside the helicopter, they stay inside and the back door doesn't fall open. I have had some toys where this happened and Lily found it very annoying. 


Over all its a really great toy and perfect addition to any Brio World or Brio Train track you have. Lily has really enjoyed flying the trains around and delivering them to her train track. 

You can buy this toy over at the Brio website for £34.99. 

Would your child enjoy a toy like this?

  5. Brio products are always appealing and well made and I agree it is always good to have a toy that is at least in part made of wood.
