This review is from: Tonka: Mighty Motorized Power Loader (Toy)

We bought this toy for my 3 year old for Christmas. He loved it at first but then the front loader kept falling off every time he tried to dump it himself. It works fine if you use the controls but don't try to be creative on your own. We finally had to put our own screw in the back to keep it together.

Would not recommend this toy

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but the old yellow metal ones are more durable, February 1, 2006

This review is from: Tonka: Mighty Motorized Power Loader (Toy)

I bought this for my 3 year old son who kept asking for a "bobcat" for Christmas. He was thrilled with it at first, but I notice it doesn't get much play anymore. The loader in the front goes up and down, but never quite as high as he would like, so he drives it past the "top" point and it makes a ratcheting noise until he lets go of the lever. The switch for the lights has a full "on" mode, and he leaves them on all the time and wanders away, which drains the batteries. We have a couple of the yellow metal Tonka trucks that we got at a garage sale and sanded/repainted, and I think they will long outlast this toy in both durability and holding his interest.
