5.0 out of 5 stars Three cheers for Kettler - Great Tractor, November 15, 2007

This review is from: Kettler Cat Kid Tractor (Toy)

We gave this tractor/trailer combo to my 2.5 yr old son last year. He is now 3 yrs 8 months and I'd imagine he'd be riding it for quite sometime. He spends at least an hour or two with it a day, loading it, unloading somewhere else, backing it up, etc. In the house. Outside has been OK - would be fine on a flat driveway, even lawn, but hard to pedal on more challenging terrain. For the past several months he has thoroughly enjoyed putting toys away via bucket loader, and laundry in hamper via trailer. His 2 year old sister can't quite reach the pedals yet. Oh, here he comes now with stuff to unload in the toybox. How great is that? And now he's backing up to hitch the trailer on, to take out the laundry. For an industrious kid, this is worth every penny. I am going to post a photo soon. Oh, this is the first review I have ever felt inspired to write. It's that worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Watch the instructions and those steel wheel end-caps, August 28, 2007

This review is from: Kettler Cat Kid Tractor (Toy)

My wife bought this for our boys 2nd birthday and I decided to put off the assembly until the morning of this birthday.. that was a mistake. The instructions are weak to be honest (or maybe my brain just wasnt fuctioning that early in the morning).. there are lots of color coded 11 digit numbers everywhere on the instructions which serve no purpose that I could discern.

If like me you make a mistake and hammer on the secure end-caps to the wheels after screwing up on the first step and you need to get them off - heres how... you will never remove the caps by force. Just tap the little notches on the side of the cap with a hammer and tiny screwdriver or awl and the cap will release... it took me a lot of sweat and tears before I realised this.

Finally, does our 2 year old like it?... sure he does but he hasnt figured out how to pedal it yet. Another reviewer said it was small - I dont agree, its quite big and has a very big turning circle. It is very sturdy and is well constructed and will probably last years.

Finally, find some quiet time and place to do the assembly and you should have no problems.

This tractor is an excellent toy. It is very durable and can handle anything my son throws at it. I love the fact that any child will be able to use it and also grow into it as they get older and bigger. Assembly was a little tricky due to the fact the none of the directions were in English(they were in German). Take your time putting it together, the diagrams are very good and should be enough to get it done. A must for any boy, or girl, who loves "big diggers."
