(More customer reviews)Bought this for a three year old boy who's been watching other kids on many Saturdays play with their construction equipment or shovels and pails in the sand at the local parks. A year before he received a large size sturdy Tonka dump truck. I thought he needed a bulldozer and/or loader to really have fun using his imagination in the sand pit. So I got him the bulldozer for Christmas as the price had dropped to an affordable $17+/-. It normally retails for about $34 which I thought was too much especially since I found some with remote controls at Toys R Us for nearly 1/2 that price. Plus I didn't want a remote control as I felt that this is a toy that I thought that my son would want to get "down and dirty" in the sand and reviews that I read on units w/remote controls had durability issues. I ultimately bought it because I couldn't find a decent alternative and the photos looked fine and the reviews that I found on the net spoke highly of Bruder Toys.
I wish I could've found more information on the construction of this product and especially a video review to actually see it in action.
When it arrived I was a little suspicious because it looks great in the graphics but it is very lightweight, not what I expected from such a large bulldozer. (it takes my son to use both hands to move it because of the size not the weight) Well after Christmas it was time to put it to the test and we went to a park where my son played with it but was frustrated because it doesn't move to well in the sand. It wasn't heavy enough nor strong enough to push the sand aside. If you have powdery sand then perhaps but any other type he has had to struggle with it. Finally to a point where the tracks dislocate, they are easy to repair but don't stay on too well in the sand. The one year old Tonka truck however moves with ease and is more a favorite with him and his friends. They gravitate initially to the bulldozer because it looks cool but once they realize the difficult mobility with it try to pass if off to someone else.
It's an okay toy if you are playing inside but I wouldn't recommend it for the sandbox let alone dirt areas such as your garden it just won't hold up to well. I would've rated it lower but my son still takes it to the park but I know if I found a better made one I know that he would drop it in a second.
Lastly I didn't do a video review because I haven't yet figured out how to do it. Once I make the time I'll add that information.
