5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome "Eco" Dump Truck! January 26, 2009

I love the wood smell of the eco-plastic used to make the toy and all the simple mechanical features. Our little truck driver loves the big dumping lever and pull-open cab. Durable for sand or snow and was a treat to have reduced packaging, which was only a little tray thingy which recycles quickly.

My 18 month old son likes this truck a lot. It rolls well, and he has figured out how to use the rear swinging door. He's still too young to figure out the passenger compartment and the dumping action, but he'll grow into it. The truck seems sturdy and well built.

My one complaint is that the latch that releases the dumping action is touchy, and while I'd rather for now (because of my son's age) have it always shut, instead it seems to pop open on its own sometimes. I wish it had a better design for the latch. Other than that, and it is a small quibble, I really like it.

Got this truck for our toddler girl for the beach and she loves it! Plays with it at home as well as outside. It is eco friendly, usa made - durable, well constructed - easy to operate. We got the Sprig bucket and shovel for her sandbox and she uses them to fill this truck. She loves it and we love Sprig.
