I love this toy, but thought the toy was made in Mexico and not China. Apparently, they moved the manufacturing plant before eventually discontinuing the product. I own several other Sprig Toys and feel the quality of the ones made in Mexico or Canada is much better . . . they have a different feel than the ones made in China and smell MUCH more like wood . . . its like they changed the formulation for the "sprigwood".

This company is our new favorite! This toy (as are all Sprig toys) is well made and creative! I am so tired of Matchbox cars and Tonka trucks that it is refreshing to have cool tough vehicle toys that are more unusual. I love the dinosaurs, and the truck is awesome. My almost three year old loves it, and it is super durable. We will be buying these as gifts in the future.

I got this toy for my 2 1/2 year old niece for Christmas. I often saw her wanting to play with other kids' trucks in the summer at the playground and figured she might enjoy a truck of her own. She liked playing with it and she especially liked the 'mommy' and 'baby' dinosaur. She would spend hours I think it ended up being the highlight of the toy for her. The toy has (so far) been very durable and I like that it's made with the environment in mind.

This is one of my son's favorite toys to play with outside. I keep it in a bag full of toys to take to the park, beach, playground, wherever. It hoses off well, the tires roll well and he loves it!

I have a 4 year old and 2 year old that love this toy. (Boy and Girl). Its durable and I love the "woody" smell of this toy. Our box says it was made in Mexico. I love that I don't need batteries and my kids can play with the different people. (My daughter even gives her dollhouse people a ride in this rig). Great product! We also have the Discover Rig (with push bar). My son loves that one too because he can push it around.

I have to say...i do not own this toy--yet. I am going to order it right away. I am still compelled to write a review. Why? Because FINALLY i see a toy that reflect my child. Finally cute toys that exhibit how diverse the world is and kicking eurocentric toys to the curb. I love the fact that Sprig toys have people in all colors. For so long, i have been combing amazon for cute firetrucks and buses with people to put in them. So far, all of the firefighters and conductors have been white. My son is not white. I want a toy that he can identify with and project himself onto. I finally concluded that if i was going purchase these products, i would to have paint the figures shades of brown to tan. Even Plan toys--all of the figures that are in "positions of power"--the fireman, the policeman, the pilot, etc. are all white men. There is one "asian" male looking figure ( i cant remember what he is) and one black figure: a woman nurse (the families however are cute and come in different colors).

So THANK YOU Sprig toys for being progressive thinkers...for not only being mindful of the environment but being mindful and contributing to a more progressive society.

I will report back on the actual toy and its quality and durability when i receive it.

I bought this toy and returned it. It has an awful smell and I was afraid to have my son play with it.

more toys in the world should be this simple and this fun. my two-year-old daughter loves it. she's got a running story going about rescuing dinosaurs and crashing the car in the sand that only she understands. we renamed the driver sophie jungle in our futile attempt to fight latent sexism in toys, but that's a whole issue for a longer review. a couple details that the toy designers missed: unlike the sprig seaplane and other toys, sophie doesn't "click" into her seat. she is just placed there. so she flys out during bumpy rides. the two-year-old in both of us becomes increasingly frustrated at this. also momma dino, doesn't fit in or on the car. another frustration for the two-year-old mind. regardless, it's a solid toy. it's sparked my child's imagination. and it's fun.

I liked the style of these Sprig Toys so i bought a couple for my daughter(3y/o). She did take to it right away, but the interest died after the novelty of a new toy. She's just more active and athletic minded though, so if she is in a stationary mood, she prefers her learning games. It's a durable toy though, playful colors, comical cartoon-like features, and serves it's purpose if your kid is into trucks and such. The wheels on is spin almost silently and completely fluid which anyone into cars/trucks would totally love. There are no real moving parts or functions aside from what you see in the picture so it could be a little cheaper. All in all I'm happy with my purchase, and I still stand by it.

I have to say these are overall great toys. I wish they had something like these when I was a kid.I like that they are made off recycled wood and plastic. The only thing I can say is that I thought the Dino Rig was a little larger because of the pictures of it but was not, a little deceiving but not a huge let down still happy with the toy and construction. The little man love the Dino's
