Product Description

Amazon.com

What toddler doesn't have an innate love for big, noisy, clanking, crunching construction rigs? Well, this sturdy, soft-edged ride-on toy will let your tot live out those building and demolition fantasies safely (not to mention quietly--you won't find any electronic beeping or fake engine noises here). Kids climb atop the solidly built 10-inch-wide-by-18-inch-long backhoe and push themselves along on revolving rubber treads. The cab rotates 360 degrees, and the 2-foot-long shovel arm really extends and digs, thanks to a pair of big, easy-to-grab handles. This tough toy can even handle outdoor play, rolling easily over grass and sand. --Paul Hughes

Our 2 year old, who is really into construction toys went bonkers when his little excavator was delivered. We hardly had a chance to assemble what little there was to assemble, when he was jumping on it and pretending he was digging. He plays on it for hours and it helps to stimulate his imagination. We enjoy watching him on it and feel it was a excellent buy. Thanks

fun but difficult November 25, 2006
My boys have really enjoyed playing with this toy, however in order to lower the bucket it requires a lot of wrist strength and most of 2-4 year olds that have tried to play with it are not able to make it function on their own. It's even a little difficult for me to get it to lower. The only other comment I would add regarding this excavator is that if the children are not able to operate the arm that makes the bucket lower they tend to lean forward on the toy, causing the toy to tip and occassionally the child will fall face forward into the arm of the excavator. This toy requires a lot of parental supervision.

A little disappointed....
I was so excited to get this truck for my 27 month old son. He loves construction trucks and to dig-so it doesn't get any better than this truck, right?! Read more

Total Garbage
Total waste of money and complete garbage. Broke after one week. Sand got in the gears and it never moved properly again. Read more

Keeps on keeping on
This toy is well used in loose dirt and gravel. It is over 2 years old and still a favorite. Amazing that plastic is still in one piece!

It is plastic!
I was expecting a little more durability from this toy. While it has not broken yet, I expect it to by the end of summer. Read more

A little difficult to use at first but my son loves it now!
My son loves to spend a lot of time digging with his excavator. My only complaint is that the handle that turns to make the scoop extend was very difficult to turn at first. Read more

Not a problem!
Just a response to the review noting the wrist strength needed to release arm on excavator. My 23 month old received this for Christmas and I must admit it took us at least 5-10... Read more
