This toy is way overpriced. It is too difficult for children under 8 to snap the jumping mechanism into place. It requires a lot of smooth surface to work...a driveway would be good, but you see the safety concerns with that idea. This is not worth the money. You can get a regular toy truck for a quarter of the price and the child will have as much fun.

The "Hot Wheels" and "Grave Digger" brands were a huge plus for my 6-year old son, but the toy is rather cumbersome to spring-load. My son finds it difficult, as do his much older friends. Do it wrong, and the plastic parts will suffer early damage. I don't expect it to be functional after a couple of months.

I bought this truck for my 3 year old and while he loves it is is hard for him to push down to connect the parts that allow the truck to "jump." So he loves the truck and has fun playing with it, I have to push it down for him each time and I'll admit that it is hard for me to do sometimes, I use my foot to push it down. It is a little expesive too, for what you get in my opinion.

The weekend of our (Hot Wheels crazy) son's 4th b-day we

were playing with his new toys right away and our first

impression of this toy was also, take it back to Wal-mart. But then mom (me) played around with it a little bit and things started getting fun with this toy. One time we had it rolling down the hall and it went into the bedroom and under the bed when the truck jumped getting it stuck under there.

Dad had to lift the bed to get Grave Digger out. We where having a laugh with that one. We continue to have a lot of fun with this toy. It's very durable, little hard to get pushed down, it rolls a certain distance and then jumps. We set up things

for it to jump and its really fun. We give it a thumbs up despite

the price of this one.

Like the others it took me a little time to figure out how to get the truck to latch down, but from there I showed my two boys what to do and they were off jumping over and through all they could set up indoors and out. It's worth the time and money to get this and figure it out!!!

This is a Awesome toy.Definately a BIG BOYS Toy for kids. It jumps almost a foot every time. Its just like going to the Monter Truck races right in our own living room. My 7 year old son loves to raise the bar every time he jumps it. First he starts with small cars and then he builds big walls. The excitement possibilites are endless. He sits for hours by himself or with friends either seeing how many things he can jump over or how big the crash is when he builds up walls. All of his friends love it too.You must make sure you read the directions on the bottom of the box so you know how to work it. Then let it rip!

This toy does what all toys should do! It doesn't just entertain a child it challenges him to be creative and resourceful. After he's jumped over just about everything in his room he can construct pyramids and walls of toys that he can then jump over or into. When the constructed walls get to big to jump he can buil a ramp to jump his truck even higher. After seeing how much fun this toy is I just had to write this review!!

i purchased this toy for my 5 year old grandson. it was a big hit.

we all spent hours playing with it. even the dog got in on it.

My little boy needs me to compress it and when i was figuring out how it worked my hand was on it when it was popping up and got hurt (not injured, just hurt). It is awful exciting when it pops up a foot in the air and make a pretty big noise when launching off of the wood floor and landing on it again.

I bought this for my grandson and I am returning it tomorrow. It's difficult even for and adult to use. The directions are not clear and when you finally get it locked down it does not jump like described. My grandson, who loves Hot Wheels and Monster Trucks, was bored and disappointed after only a few tries. Don't waste your money! (I paid $21.95 at KMart)
