Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

This toy is definitely fun and cute. My little three year played with it for hours the first day it arrived, and he loved the side door that opens. He loves the voice and the things the truck says. His only complaint is that the doors do not open for the cab of the truck, but other than that he loved it. He dropped it several times on the floor from the table and it did not break and it is large and rills well. The little car rolls out of the bed when the door opens, as well as other toy trucks he has, of which he absolutely loves and laughs at. overall this is a cute and durable toys, with great sayings and a moving face. I would not rate it high for educational, but it does well for eye hand coordination.

Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Toy arrived well packaged--no plastic used to encase truck, yet there was enough tape and tough cords holding the wheels of The Big Rig that it takes some effort (and a knife) to free the truck from the box. Truck doesn't seem to mind, it's full of "happy sayings" recorded in a little boy voice. Push the blue button on top of the truck to activate sounds and movement of features. When you do this, the headlights light up, the side mirrors move (like waggling ears), the eyes move around and other sounds play. Sometimes the big side door drops down to the floor releasing the little "wheelie" vehicles. The child can re-load up to six vehicles (only one comes with The Big Rig)and push the door back up. This activates a switch that causes it to talk and move again. You can also activate The Big Rig by pressing the blue front bumper of the truck. The truck rolls easily on it's six wheels. I wish the front wheels would swivel as you turn the vehicle. Also, I wonder if it will frustrate a child when the truck suddenly dumps the little vehicles at a time when the kid doesn't want them dumped. The child will have to deal with this because s/he has no control over that. In general I prefer non-battery toys, but this one seems like it will provide fun interaction anyway, and it does come with batteries already installed. There is a switch underneath the truck next to the battery cover that you can use to turn off the action features completely or control the volume (two settings for volume). It would be good to have extra batteries on hand, and especially, I recommend having extra "wheelies" on hand to use with The Big Rig or other similar vehicles. This thing isn't really complete unless the kid can fill it up with cars. I will probably buy one of the four packs for $12.99 or the twelve pack for $35.00 that you can get on Amazon Prime before I give it to my grandson to play with. He is a little too young for this right now, anyway, but I am happy to keep it stashed away here until he gets to be at least one. The box says 1 1/2 to 5 years. I think The Big Rig is a toy that should be lots of fun for any toddler/preschooler.
