Polar Express, but make it CoComelon. Kids up to 44 lbs can ride this train from room to room with their books, toys and snacks in tow.

Squeeze his left hand to activate the catchy “Elmo Slide” song—he’ll sway, flap his arms and glide side to side while littles two-and-up join in the fun. Squeeze his right hand to play a game of “Elmo Says,” and let kids follow his directions like “Elmo says, lift your arms up!” encouraging them to get up and get active.
