2.0 out of 5 stars Not Our Favorite Plan Toy, March 9, 2010

We love the size of these little vehicles, but the star in the set, the crane, doesn't work very well. It seems poorly designed in that the crane doesn't reach down far enough to actually hook on to any other vehicles or anything at ground level. The pulley mechanism works, but doesn't have a very long cable/string to move so it really doesn't do much. This is a big source of ongoing frustration for my almost 3 year old.

The other two vehicles in the set or fine, but he doesn't play with them very much.

I recommend the other Plan Toys construction set, with the very cool excavator, over this one. The excavator is worth more than the price of the entire set, in our opinion. You can skip this one. Or perhaps you can figure out how to modify the crane with a longer string?

This was a great set to carry around for my son when he was 1-4. It kept him busy in restaurants and doctor's offices. The equipment has moving parts and, while it may not work perfectly, has a lot of motion and detail for such a small, light weight toy. We had no problem with things breaking, although he did like to remove the tracks and we had to put them on. The fork lift and dump truck carried packets of sugar just fine.

Plan makes great toys, but these small trucks are easily broken, at least by my three year old sons. The forklift lasted a day before they were able to break the lift from the rest of the truck-- in normal pre-school investigations. Too bad, the color, size, heft and natural wood feel are all otherwise very pleasing.
