We bought this together with the Tonka Wheel Driver Scoot n' Scoop 3-in-1 ride-on. With an attachment that comes with the crane, you can turn the ride-on into a tow truck. Good idea but it doesn't work very well. My son can never keep things attached to the hook on the crane. And the crane is virtually useless by itself. Pictures always show the crane standing by itself but it won't stand alone. The child has to hold it up, while trying to operate the crane to pick things up. Its too much to do at one time. My children do play with it time to time, they pretend its a vacuum and push it around the floor.

We received this toy as a gift for my 16 month child and found out early on that the magnet is NOT attracted to any metal of any type. So being the tinker that I am, I took the magnet section apart to find that THERE IS NO MAGNET IN THERE! There was just 3 washers (like the metals discs with holes in the middle of them) and they weren't magnetized at all. I tried sticking one of my own magnets in there but I do not have a strong enough magnet. It just didn't work. Unfortunately since I have taken it apart already, I cannot send it back, but maybe I can convince some of you to NOT BUY THIS TOY!

My son received this as a gift for his first birthday. He does not have the Tonka truck it would attach to. As a stand alone toy this leaves a lot to be desired. Although he is walking, this toy trips him up when he tries to push it along. Even at the lowest height setting it will end up completely verticle. The crane is to complicated for him to work. He does like the little magnets which I would find strewn all over the house. Had to put them away so that he'll have them when he is old enough to work the toy as intended. This toy should be sold for an older age if it is to be used alone.

We thought the Rumblin' Rollin' Crane would be a great addition to the Tonka Scoot'N Scoop, but it has proven to be a big disappointment. Although it is hitched onto the Scoot 'N Scoop, my son continues to play with the truck and ignores the crane.

I didn't get to play with this much as it was a gift for my nephew, but from what I saw it was a well made toy. The magnet worked well and even the older kids wanted to play with it.

The little one likes it. But insteadof pushing it he carries it around. I myself do not understand the concept of this add on. But nevertheless, it doesn't matter to him the pieces are great.

I don't remember ever seeing my nephews play with this toy.
I'm sure I didn't pay much for it but the excitement for this toy didn't last too long after the initial opening on Christmas eve.

My son likes this toy when attached to the scoot and scoop. It would not be a good toy on its own. He likes towing trucks with it.

I bought this for me cousin who is 18 months old and it was a hit at Christmas. This went along with the Tonka dump tuck and attaches at the back and made a great gift for around 20.00 for both. He was very happy. Parents were happy because this can go with him to about 3 years.
