Caterpillar 9" Shaking Backhoe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 2-yr old son loves backhoes, and he loves this toy. For my part, it is flimsier than I expected. The body is made out of plastic and is fairly lightweight. Just taking it out of the package, I managed to separate the arms that support the shovel, and had to fit them back together. I was expecting something heavier and sturdier, more like a Tonka toy. Not matching my preconception doesn't make it a bad toy, but I do keep an eye on my son while he's playing with it, just in case.

1:16 Bobcat Skidsteer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Our two and three-year-old boys love anything that moves. They fell in love with Bobcats after receiving a product video from a former contractor. We were delighted to find a life-like version of a Bobcat to indulge this love. We ordered the toy thinking that its quality would be commensurate with the price. Unfortunately, we were sorely mistaken.
For nearly $30, we expected a sturdy and hard-working toy. What we got instead is a poorly-made, flimsy plastic one. The lift gets stuck and comes out of the slots that allow it to move up and down. We're constantly having to snap the toy back together. The range of motion is poor, and the attachments don't fit snuggly. In less than five minutes, the Bobcat wasn't functioning properly.
We want our children to respect the toys we buy for them and try to make wise buying choices. But even careful play with this toy is not enough. Had we seen the toy in person, we definitely would have made another choice.
If you're contemplating buying this toy, we would discourage you from doing so. Even with a lower price, this toy isn't a good value. It doesn't have the staying-power to be used and loved.

Bruder CATERPILLAR Skid Steer Loader Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son fell in love with the Bruder trucks at the toy store when he was 2 years old. The skid-steer loader was the first one we got for him, and he's been happily playing with it for about a year and a half at this point. We chose it in part because it was smaller than some of the others and a better size for him at the time.
My son is not at all gentle on his trucks: he expects them to work and work hard. This little loader has gone through gravel, sandpiles, mulch and macaroni in its time, and it's still in great shape. We just give it a rinse when it gets too dirty to come back inside. The mechanism which allows the arm to remain raised in the air has worn slightly and slips if there is any weight in the bucket (probably from sand getting into it); beyond that it has worn very well indeed.
We have since purchased a number of other Bruder trucks for our son and they are among his favorite toys.
