Awesome truck BUT don't pay more than $30 for it!!, November 30, 2009
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Tonka Titan Go Green Garbage Truck (Toy)
This is a great truck -- my 3 and 5 year old boys have had it for about 6 months now and play with it daily and it's still in perfect condition. They love garbage trucks and anything to do with garbage. HOWEVER, I only rated this a 3-star because I can NOT believe the prices they are putting on these trucks on Amazon! This truck is currently on sale at Walmart for $20 (was there this morning and saw it). It is normally priced $25 there. I bought ours at Toys R Us and payed $29 for it. It says on this item here that the list price is $79 -- a total lie. And, I know there is no shortage of this truck because I see it in toy departments all over the place.
I say go buy it, but not on-line.

Be careful! My son's arm was stuck for an hour!, February 5, 2009

This review is from: Tonka Titan Go Green Garbage Truck (Toy)
This looks like a great toy and is a lot of fun, but there is a major safety problem. My son stuck his arm in the garbage hole about 10 minutes into playing with it and couldn't get his arm back out. We were finally able to remove his arm by cutting into the truck with a metal hack saw and sheet metal cutters. It took us an hour to get him free--an hour of horrible screaming and pain. He has a huge bruise on his arm from it. I really liked the idea of this toy and can state that it is VERY durable with metal rods holding it together, but it was horrible to watch my little guy suffer from an unsafe toy.

This review is from: Tonka Titan Go Green Garbage Truck (Toy)
We previously ordered one of the Bruder Garbage trucks for my son for his b-day and boxed it back up to return the same night he opened it-parts were breaking!
Through searching, online and in stores over the next several days, I decided to try this Tonka garbage truck. It has been a HUGE hit!!! The child can separate the garbage and recycling-which has color coded cards-so it teaches them about sorting. The buttons make realistic sounds and commentary, which again provides for teachable moments. My son loves it when trucks/cars have doors that really open-this one does and includes a "garbage man" to sit inside. If your child enjoys garbage day as much as mine does, they'll love this truck!
