I bought this for my son who turned 3 yesterday, he has a love/hate relationship with it. It is a 2 hand operation. The yellow handle for the scoop locks in place it is so simple to unlock, but he is having a hard time with it and when a toy doesn’t work the way he wants he gets upset and throws it. I’ve showed him how to unlatch it, but his hands want to be on the scoop itself. Just as I am writing this he brought the handle to me, he broke it. He is fine with playing with it now that the handle is out. (I am too since he has stopped screaming) I am disappointed with the toy overall. It is on the small side. I wish I got the Caterpillar Jr excavator instead. I have seen it in a store and it is a lot bigger.

I wasn’t sure at first but my son LOVES this crane. It is lightweight and easy to use for a 2 year old. He cannot figure out the bucket part quite yet but he will eventually. There is a small pull which allows the base to have freedom to rotate, very cool. The plastic is 100% recycled milk jugs so it is a green toy and we are thrilled. I also bought the dump truck and the front loader. highly recommend both of those too.

These trucks are a great alternative to more expensive metal toys and other cheap plastic trucks. The big handles allow even little hands to operate them for maximum fun. My 3 yr. old grandson simply loves them. I would absolutely buy more of these quality trucks from this manufacturer.

We first saw these trucks at our local Childrens Museum and loved them! We are happy to own the entire line.

I got this for my son when he was 2 to bring to the beach. He loved playing with them in the sand, as did I. We also bought the dump truck and loader and they too are great. He loves them and they have now been back from the beach and after a good washing are doing great. He does not use them in the dirt yet but I think as long as you do not actually try and excavate packed dirt and just use them in the sandbox they will stand the test of time. I love all the motions like the real tractor and he does too. Would recommend them 2 thumbs up unless you really are trying to dig out packed dirt then maybe you should try getting a real excavator as these are only toys!
