Peg Perego John Deere Loader Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought this tractor for our 3 year old daughter for Christmas. She has been obsessed with tractors since she was a baby, and this one looks just like Great-Grandpa's tractor that she rides on when we visit. Our daughter (and our 19 month old son) love it! Our daughter is easily able to work the pedals and dumper. Our son is happy just to climb on and sit in the seat. The tractor seems very sturdy and high quality, so I'm sure we will get many years of use out of it.
On the negative side, as others have said, the assembly instructions are poorly written and portions of the assembly are difficult. I would advise putting on most of the decals BEFORE assembling the tractor. The steering wheel is difficult to attach to the steering column because the column falls into the body of the tractor when you push the wheel on. After 20 minutes, when we finally got the steering wheel attached, we discovered that the dashboard decal must be put on BEFORE the steering wheel. Another hint for getting the steering wheel on (since we had to do it twice), is to grease the column with a little bit of vegetable oil to make the wheel easier to slide on. Our other struggle in getting the tractor together was attaching the bucket to the tractor. It takes two people to compact the tractor enough to be able to put the retainer on the end of the rod. Also, the instructions don't mention it until a later step, but there is a special tool included with the tractor that is designed for putting the retainers on. We didn't realize this for the first retainer, but it made putting the second one on much easier.
All in all, even with the difficult assembly, this toy is really worth the money. Be sure to leave time for assembly - it took us over two hours - and be sure to bring your patience. When you are done, you will have a great looking, high quality toy that will keep the kids entertained for years.

Kettler Cat Kid Dumper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son got this for his first birthday - a year later he still plays with this EVERY day. It is his favorite toy by far. Yes, the dumper in the front occasionally comes off but it is easy to put back on.

Kettler Cat Front Loader and Backhoe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)watching your child lose their mind playing with it will be worth it.
The directions are marginal at best and would benefit greatly from some written directions and labeling the bags and parts. I am very experienced at building RC cars and helicopters and I had to keep referring to the drawings to make sure I wasn't doing it wrong.
The rear stabilizer (under the excavator seat) could be sturdier and easier to deploy, but neither seem to be a problem for our son who is going on three. It would be nice if the locks for the front end loader portion could be engaged with one hand, but it doesn't seem to take away from his enjoyment.
I do recommend this product, just make sure you have enough room to store it and patience to assemble it. (hint: some of the stickers are large and very thin in order to make the curves, spray a little mild detergent diluted with water to make positioning them easier)

Does your child love to dig in the backyard? Well put away the shovels and put on the hardhat--the Kettler Cat front loader and backhoe is ready to do the heavy lifting. The mini-Cat looks just like the real thing, but is small enough to fit in a large sandbox (though it's best suited for a slightly larger area, like the beach). Once seated, your child can use the levers to operate the fully functional front loader, letting him or her scoop up big chunks of sand, dirt, or snow. Or he/she can hop on the back end and take the back hoe digger--with its stabilizer foot--for a spin. And the mini-Cat is no slouch when it comes to getting around, with a fully enclosed chain drive system and oversized resin tires with long-lasting rubberized tread strips. Built with high-impact resin and featuring an adjustable seat, the Cat front loader/backhoe measures 65 by 30 by 21 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a three-year residential warranty (one-year institutional).

Kettler CAT Digger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My grandson loves this digger - has it in a big pea-gravel patch, and took it to the beach last week. It was fairly easy for the two of us to put together - at 4, he was able to interpret the pictoral instructions and find various parts.
The flaws: There is one bolt on the arm that is impossible to finger-tighten, and it took some asking around to borrow an adjustable wrench small enough to use. And the wheelbase could be a little broader. My grandson has to brace with his feet when the arm is extended.
Overall, the quality is good. Some of the plastic parts seem perhaps a little lacking in heft, but it's probably good for a couple of years of play.
