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.

After purchasing the excavator, we wanted to add another Sprig Truck to our collection and this front loader is great!!! simple, lightweight for our little one to carry, and it smells like a wood shop!! great job Sprig!! keep the toys coming.

My son recieved this front loader for Christmas last year - when he was 18 months old. He didn't really figure out how to use the "loader" part until 2 - 2 1/2 years old - but he has tons of fun scooping up his little blocks. This is our first Sprig toy - and overall the quality seems good. The plastic is not as "thick" as Green Toys vehicles - and it's a bit smaller in scale, but the trucks all work together with a bit of imagination. I like knowing that Sprig is committed to safety of materials in their toymaking, keeping our children's health & safety in mind. I will buy future Sprig toys based on this front loader.

I purchased this for my son's 3rd birthday. We haven't given it to him yet, but the toy looks like it will be lots of fun and much enjoyed. I really like that there is little packaging and that it is eco-friendly!

Purchased this loader for my 20 month old son. It's was a good price (~$11) when I purchased it. Light weight and made with some interesting plastic wood composite stuff. It's a bit difficult to make the claw part move as it takes a bit of strength to unclick it from it's original position. The arm moves easily enough and is quite smooth. Overall though, it's more of a toy for a child that loves to pretend play with cars and trucks. My son has probably picked it up twice since I brought it home. Great toy to have in the toy box but it's not getting any use.

We got this truck for our son and he absolutely loves it. We also have other Sprig trucks and he puts them through their paces out in rocky dirt and mud and they hold up incredibly well.

I love the fact that it's made out of recycled materials and the smell of the pine that the plastic is blended with is lovely. Quite a difference between that and other plastic trucks.

It's medium sized and good for little hands without being too small to really be fun.

I have two little boys, age 2 and 3, and we all love these trucks! We bought the loader, the dump truck and the recycling truck. They're a great size and have lots of creative play features (like the truck cab flips up to insert "drivers," the large handle on top is perfect for "steering," etc.). I have a B.S. in Child Development and am picky about my kids toys. I am impressed with the excellent quality even though they're relatively inexpensive. We've owned them for about a month now and they're in as good condition as they were when we bought them and, believe me, they've been played with! These trucks are GREAT!!

I made this purchase in an attempt to find fun, durable toys for outside that were safe and usable (but not have to pay big dollars!). Since I bought them for Christmas, we haven't had them outside yet. I really like the handle for the little ones to be able to grab hold and move the bucket up and down. I believe it will be very durable outside - making dirt walls and digging canyons. We purchased the dump truck and the loader. Since all the grandkids love to play outside when it gets warmer, can't wait to see what their imaginations will build! I plan to add to the collection! Sprig Toys are Awesome!
