These songs saved us on our road trip, which was 6 hours each way with a lot more additional driving and traffic at our actual destination. Our 2 year old loves Thomas, and while these songs can be so annoying when played on an infinite loop, they are way better than an angry toddler. I had packed a million toys and activities to keep this little guy happy on our drive, but he would not stop screaming until we put this cd on. He even rejected the iPad in favor of these songs! Seriously, this was a lifesaver. (I also bought a few additional songs from the Thomas & Friends Roundhouse Rhythms and Train Yard Tracks albums so the songs wouldn't repeat so very frequently)
