Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Give your little one the tools of today to help them build a little greener. Sprig Toys Eco-Trucks are made in Europe to exacting standards and use the exclusive Sprigwood™ wood-plastic composite. Each truck uses bits of recycled wood & plastic materials to create a toy that is durable, highly mechanical and has less impact from manufacturing on our earth. The Eco-Trucks Loader uses off-road wheels and freewheeling chassis to easily push over any terrain. The lifting arm and bucket hold sand loads securely and the mechanical dumping action is sand friendly and easy to use thanks to the Easy-grab handle. Sprig Toys Eco-Trucks Loader freewheeling chassis with mechanical scoop and lift action, easy-grab handle and tilting cab. Built in Europe using Sprigwood™ wood-plastic composite.

The scooping action and rotating chassis of the Excavator turns serious digging into child’s play. The Loader does the trio’s heavy lifting, and the Dump Truck gets the job done with its tilting cab, locking bed and swing-out tailgate. The playful, cartoon-like designs of our chunky vehicles make them irresistible to preschoolers, and parents love the battery-free, kid-powered construction. Recommended for ages 3 and up.

Bought this toy as a gift for my 3 year old nephew, who loves trucks and the outdoors. It really does have a great smell (like a lumber yard), and the parts are movable, and look useful and durable. It's a decent size too. The packaging mentions how it is made of reclaimed wood and plastic which is nice since it's a gift. My only complaint is that there is a spot in the truck for a driver, but no figures came with it.

We have the sprig eco dump truck and digger. They are great fun and big hits at the sand box. We expected the same from the front loader, but were very disappointed to discover that it tips over if left alone with almost any amount of sand or rocks in the scooper. Hopefully sprig will correct this design mistake with a revised version, which we will happily buy as the prices for these quality toys are very reasonable.

We got this for our son for his third birthday. My husband and I are pleased with the materials used to make and package the product. My son has lots of fun playing with this in the yard. It is sturdy enough for him to scoop up egg-sized rocks. It is also easy for him to use it. I'm recommending this company's products to all of my friends.
