The soft corners and indestructible design of the Little Tikesgiant construction vehicles make them ideal for aspiring junior roadworkers. These tough trucks can handle all sorts of abuse, from haulingdirt across the playground to taking those accidental spills down thestairs. Over 12 inches long, 7 inches high, and 9 inches wide, thissturdy bulldozer speeds around on oversize, hard-plastic tires, and ithas a working scoop that can really dig out, lift, and carry a load.--Paul Hughes ...

This toy is tops!
My son recieved it for his 2nd birthday and a year later still loves it. We keep it as an outside toy where he can dig and load dirt with it. Its nice and chunky for little hands and has a handle you push to make the loading part lift up. I imagine this toy will last forever.

Loads of Fun
My two boys(5 and 6) have both the loader and dump truck and they have put about 1,000 miles on tires and they keep going.They enjoy playing in the dirt with these toys..They are kept outside and have lasted along time(3 yrs)..Even when left out in the rain, they have kept together with no problems.

Little tikes diggers and trucks
I am a grandmother of a little boy and little twin girls, all 3 years old, and a Little 2 year old girl. All have fun digging in the sand or dirt with the Loader and Dump truck. I own almost all of Little Tikes Cars, Trucks, and "Diggers" and they provide hours of fun, are safe, and last forever. I have found that both boys and girls love digging and driving. It has given me much pleasure to watch them play. ... Read more

Perhaps the cutest construction vehicles to ever take to theroad, the tough oversize trucks from Little Tikes feature well-roundedseams and corners and a rugged plastic build, perfect for the smallhands and boisterous attention of enthusiastic young road workers. This12-inch-long, 9-inch-high, and 9-inch-wide dump truck, cast in brightyellow and black, gets around on fat plastic tires and has a bed thatreally lifts up to dump its load.The truck's simple design also makes a quick hose-off easy after a long day in the sandbox. --Paul Hughes ...

Our toddler's favorite toy
We bought this truck for my son's first b-day. At first he just piled it with toys and dumped them out. He slowly figured out how much fun it was to hold onto the back and push it around the house. It's truly his favorite toy. His friends (up to age 4) also all love this truck. We're going out to buy another one because they all fight over it!

Our son is 19 months old and we've never had a problem with him getting hit in the head with the back of the truck the way other reviews have described. I'm not saying it's not possible to get hit. He just figured out quickly the correct way to push it and play with it.

This truck is plastic and seems indestructible. Because it's plastic, it's lightweight and easy to maunever around. We think it is a great truck for both toddlers and preschoolers.

wonderful toy,except!!
My son pcked this out at a local store.After a couple of weeks, the truck did not make the sound it was supposed to.I called little tikes and a check is on the way for a new one.My son loves this toy and makes the sound every time he sees.Little Tikes brands are the best made toys around!!!

Back of truck hits children in face
When my son plays with his dump truck ,the back comes up & hits him in the face, because there is no way to latch it while kids are pushing it around. ... Read more

Rugged Riggz Are Great!
My son got this as a Christmas gift just after he turned 2.He is 3.5 now and still loves it! The motorcycles hold up really well, but they can be tricky to put on the flatbed.So, he really plays with them separately.The truck and trailer, however, are his favorite toys and he plays with them all the time.He can get the trailer onto the truck very well on his own and carries his hot wheels around on it all the time.It is virtually indestructible.Buy it for your 2-year-old!

Absolutely great toy!
My 2-year-old loves this truck and the motorcycles!It's very durable, and even has endured my toddler trying to ride on it.Love the no-scratch tires too!This is a VERY, VERY nice toy and a great gift idea for any little boy.

fantastic non-chokable motorcycle toy! woowee!
Honestly, the truck that hauls the toys gets mostly ignored but the motorcycles OVERJOY my son. I bought them when he was a bit over 18 mos - he loves motorcycles and it's almost impossible to find a well designed motorcycle toy for the under 3 set, so this toy is definitely worth it.
No chokable parts, very durable and chunky enough that it probably won't get lost under the fridge, couch or low table (which as we all know can cause a mini-meltdown). It's great that you get two motorcycles, one for each grabby toddler hand, hahahahaha. ... Read more

Great for young and old
My son has this truc. It is very cute and durable. He's 2 but my nephews who are 12 and 15 love it too!! It links together easily and comes apart easily. Al so hooks to other trucks of the same style!! Excellent truck!

Great truck for rough boys!
I have two boys, 4 and 1 who equally love this truck!They have several in the series of "Rugged Riggz" and they are all great!They play very hard and rough and this toy withstands it all!The wheels are rubberized so they don't scratch my coffee table.You can take the trailer part apart and mix and match with the others in the series.A definite MUST have for those of you with boys and truck-lovers like me!!!

Great Rugged Truck

a wonderful time
I bought this truck for my 2-year-old grandson, but the older ones loved it, too, so I ordered 2 more. The three boys played for hours with this truck.I can't wait to see what they do with three of them.

Great truck for tots!Back doors are neat!
I love this truck.My little boy loves to open and close the back doors on this truck and put things in the trailer.This is one of the first bigger trucks that I have seen with that capability.

Great Truck!
This is a fun truck!!!When we got home from purchasing this truck, on of the back doors had popped off, but we put it back on, and it has not come off again.My son really enjoys loading the truck with his smaller cars, or loading toys inside to transport to the toybox during clean-up time.This truck was especially nice on grandma's beautiful hardwood floors - no scratching, and it has not made any marks on our linolium floors at home.I think that if your toddler or preschooler loves trucks, this is a perfect addition to the collection. ...

Great Rugged Cement Mixer
My son loves this cement mixer - it is durable, works great on carpet, wooden floor and he enjoys playing with it in his sand box as well! It really adds fun to his sand box play! Well worth the money spent on it!!

Holds up to 4 boys
I have 4 tractor/truck loving boys ages 2,4,5 and 6 and this truck is still going strong (outside even) after 6 months of abuse, I mean use. We bought several expensive Bruder trucks a couple years ago and they were all in pieces quickly. As far as my boys are concerned trucks are for working in the dirt not inside play. My now 6 yo tried to mix real cement in the now 5 yo's Bruder cement truck which of course did it in. When I saw this Little Tykes truck on the shelf at Walmart last December I knew it was the replacement I'd been searching for at a GREAT price. He loves it and while it is much dirtier now it is all in one piece still. The METAL Tonka's and the Rugged Riggz are the only trucks I allow anymore after all the tears over other trucks.

Little Tikes makes the best trucks...
I can't recommend this truck enough.My son is almost 3 and adores it - his very own working cement mixer!He plays with it every single day.He also loves the 4x4 hauler in the Rugged Rigz.Actually, he loves every toy he owns from Little Tikes.They have great big parts, they come apart but go back together easily for a 3 year old, they have no sharp edges, they have easy working moving parts, and they are lots of fun.As the mother of an active almost-3-year old who ADORES trucks and trains and fire engines, I can tell you that these trucks are big, the wheels are soft (not loud on my hardwood floors!), there are no sharp edges to scrape or scratch my baby, they clean very easily, they are DURABLE (!!!!) and your child will not be able to destroy or mutilate them no matter what torture they put them through!They can go outside or inside.I love Little Tikes toys - they are a Mom's - and a little boys - dream come true. ...

Great first truck
My son has this and one other handle hauler. He loves them both! He carries one in each hand and then gets down on his knees and pushes them side by side. As most Little Tikes toys, this truck is inexpesive, durable and very much age appropriate. Great gift for a first birthday! ... Read more

they love them!
My 2 year old son received this truck as well as the dump truck and cement mixer for xmas. These are by far his favorite toys! There big enough for play, defintely sturdy enough for rough and tumble play and no sharp edges. I will absolutely be buying the rest of the riggz for his birthday. My five year old twins love playing with them too, when their little brother lets them of course.

Great Rugged Tow Truck
My son loves this truck - it is durable, works great on carpet, wooden floor and he enjoys playing with it in his sand box as well! Well worth the money spent on it!!

Waste of money....
It does not have anything interesting in it for kids. Just a silly "Honk". I dont know how it could be educational, fun and
so much more. My 2.5 year old son never wants to play with it..
he says "no fun...no lights, nothing, silly truck".. Its just waste of money. ... Read more

Fun toy, doesn't work all the time
We bought this toy for our 20 month old son for Christmas this year. He seems to like it well enough. He'll use the remote control and push the buttons. He's just in this fickle spot right now where he bores easily with one toy and moves on to the next. But he does play with it and can operate it, so we were happy to see that.

As far as the over-all product, we've had problems with ours since we opened it. It doesn't always go when you push the buttons. Sometimes you have to turn if off and back on a few times and even then you have to push the remote buttons a few more times before it will start. We've tried changing batteries and resetting the thing, but it still happens.

Over-all, a fun toy. My husband and I even enjoy driving it around and chasing the cat and dog with it, but I just wish it worked all the time. I still think it would be a good buy for any child.

Fun for the 10 month old, the 3 year old and the parents too
As with all toys, it just depends on the interests of the kids.

We all play this toy together as a family and sometimes by ourselves.SOmetimes I just sit and play with it while the kids are playing with something else.

The controls are supper easy (foward, turn and beep-beep).Even the 10 month old figured it out and he was so happy to make it work.

I love the fact that when you tip it upside down or sideways, thewheels stop moving.So little fingers don't get caught.

The toy can be played in two ways - one as a remote control (and the kids love to chase it) and if you put the remote on the toy and press a button music comes out of it and goes crazy.

The music is not annoying and not loud either.I am super happy we got this for our sons.

five year old and five month old LOVE it!
We bought this for both of our kids for christmas, figuring it was something they could play together. Our five year old son drives it around for our five month old daughter, she giggles and watches it as close as she possibly can!My son loves it and thinks it's just great to be able to drive something in the house (he has remote control cars for outside, but he can't use them in the winter to his dismay)It goes faster than I thought it would go, we haven't had it tip yet and it seems to be doing great on our thicker carpet (it will even push other little toys out of it's way...it pushed a full water bottle across the floor so it has some power).I have a feeling it will eat batteries, but it will be well worth it for the hours of fun my kids will have with it!

Carrying a flashy red sports car on top and a yellow jeep on thebottom rack, this 17-inch-long, 7-inch-wide heavy-duty hauler is sturdyenough to withstand the rough and creative play of toddlers. The sportscar and the jeep are also well made, and all the cars roll along easily.A small figure with a moveable head, arms, and legs fits in eachdriver's seat. These colorful vehicles are perfect for indoor or outdoorplay. --Lee Strucker ... Read more

Great toy for our little boy!
My son loves trucks and we purchased this one for Christmas so he could have his very own big truck.He plays with it almost daily and loves to have the man that comes with it drive all 3 vehicles.The only downside to this is that our son has a difficult time putting the guy into the track cab.There are no doors to open which I think make this a plus on the durability side but make it harder for little hands to manuever him through a window.A great bargain for the price and you get 3 working vehicles.

great
we bought this very durable toy for our active 18 mo old about three years ago since then we have added a beautiful girl who is nearly three and they both love it.Little tikes has never disappointed and this item is no different it is even strong enough for them to ride on and they do all over the house

Parents of a truck lover
We bought this for our 2 yr old son because a friend had an older version of this toy that he loved.The older version was larger and the semi truck could disconnect from the trailer.My son didn't like this toy as well since it was connected and a smaller version.He played with it until we were given the older version.He still plays with the cars that came with it.We sent the truck to his grandparents house were it hopefully gets more play time when he visits. ...

My Son Loves his Trucks
My son is now 20 mos old and has 2 of these Handle Haulers.He loves them! He's had them since his first birthday, and no complaints and the fun is still going strong.

Unsafe and unfair!
We bought this for my son who turned one. He can walk, crawl, get around and is pretty coordinated. When he uses his one arm to press down on this truck to move it across the carpet the rear wheels of the truck quickly buck up the front of the truck and hit him in the forehead. After this happened three times, we removed it from the playroom. So many tears....not a nice way to introduce your son to trucks!We are sending it back to Little Tykes. We were really surprised they didn't think this one through. Did anyone the age of 1 actually test this out before it hit the shelves?

A+
My son at 9 months old recieved this toy for Christmas.He loves this toy.He carries and pushes it by the handle, places his farm animal toys inside, makes vroom sounds when playing with it. He places it on couch and pushes it down to watch it tumble down. Let me just say it is durable because it has been put to the test by him. My daughter who is 4 years old also loves to play with it. She pretends she is a firefighter. ... Read more

Editorial Review

It's big. It's fast. And yes, with a few well-placed pieces of plywood and a little imagination, the Monster Truck could probably do some of those cool jumps you see at the truck shows. (You'll have to give it a hefty push and provide the sound effects, of course.) Made of heavy-duty plastic, it's safe for little ones but durable enough to handle the rough play older kids will dish out. The sleek design and bright colors (neon-green and purple) give it a sporty look that even older kids will find appealing. The Monster Truck is 9 inches tall (with its oversized wheels accounting for 4 of those inches) and 13 inches long. --Elisabeth Fredrickson ... Read more

One of my sons favorites
He's 3 & he's pulled the rollbar out of one & yanked wheels off both but I've repaired the wheels & for $10 I think it's a good value.

Ran over truck with my car
My 2 year old plays with this truck constantly. He even has to bring it to grandma's. He favorite activity is to sit in the bed of the truck and ride it like a rider. He is actually very good at this, he can control his speed with his feet. I am now ordering a second one. This is the first toy that I have ever replaced with the same toy when it broke. It was left under my SUV and I ran over it twice. The wheels were a little bent, but were straightened and the roll bar was broken, but other than that there is not a crack anywhere on the truck. Talk about tough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Best Investment!
I bought this truck 3 years ago for my son's 1st birthday.There has not been a day since that he has not played with it.I had to buy one for my second child when he turned one b/c they were starting to fight over it.These two trucks are the most durable toys I've ever purchased.The best toy investment I've ever made.Of all the toys that have come and gone these are still in PERFECT condition and still keeo their attention.My kids even play with the kids on the block racing them down the driveway until they all crash - they are indestructable! ...

Age Recommendation is 18 months - great for little ones!
I'm not sure why Amazon has their age recommendation set at age 4, but I bought this for my son at age 2 and he just LOVES it!He carries this thing around the house all the time, puts all his cars, stuffed animals, etc. in the trailer and pushes them for a "ractor ride."It's a bunch of fun to run this tractor over a large 8 cu. yard pile of dirt, load up the trailer, and off you go.It washes so easily and is just a bunch of fun for my little guy.You just can't go wrong with the durability and the fun factor on this one.

My 18 mth old son likes tractors
My 18th mth son loves tractors but he gets frustrated when the trailer comes loose from the tractor so easily (it does).I wish the trailer snapped into place behind the tractor.My son still carries the tractor around but hardly plays with the trailer.....

Let harvest our crop together, friends
There is no better time of year to come together other than the first harvest, a time of jubilation and elation. Let our children join in on the good times; they have earned it! Red Tractor is convenient and easy to install. Less than the price of a thirteen-word coffee order, and your kids will love you for it. Sturdy, reliable, and from a great company. If you want to start your children on the path to agriculture and government buyouts which can be very lucrative, or if you are just a city slicker who admires the grit of those country folk and yearns for the chance to genetically perfect corn, only to be shot down in the name of nature, then this product is for you! My son Thomas, aged of eight years of age, loves it. Rides it every day in our front yard. Very durable. ... Read more

Basic truck, nice and sturdy
My two-year-old received this toy for his first birthday and he's still perfectly happy with it.

Like most children his age, he likes to carry things around the house with him and the handle on this truck fits the bill perfectly.

The door at the rear of the truck opens up to allow him to load his cargo (usually his Fisher Price Little People) and haul them away.He's pretty rough on toys, but that door is still on nice and tight.It opens easily and closes completely without help from an adult.Seems like such a simple thing, but doors on toys never seem to work properly.Not true in this case.

This toy is perfectly safe.It's made of plastic with no sharp edges.There are no design flaws that I've seen in the past year.Unless you wrap your child in bubble wrap, they're going to get hurt sometimes... this toy wouldn't be the cause of an injury, so purchase with confidence.

Inexpensive toy and money well spent.

not much interaction
My son got two of these for his 1st birthday, and we exchanged one for another toy.Now, I wish that we would have exchanged both of them.The handle blocks the truck bed from loading anything in and and there is not much room to haul anything anyway.My son got bored very quickly and just pushes it out of the way to get to other toys.

A great toy
My son is 20 mos old and loves this toy (he also has a second one of the Haulers line).He drops it, carries it and puts all his blocks in it.He's had it since his 1st birthday, and he uses it everyday.No complaints from us or him. ... Read more

My son likes it
My 8 month old son likes this toy, but I have to watch him while he's playing with it because it will tip over as he tries to climb it. (It's recommended for 9 mos. and up) He loves the sounds. Especially the ones with the voice overs... yes... voice overs. There are a couple of "sound effects" where a person is voicing the sounds, like "chugga chugga chugga chugga...woooo hooooo". Those seem to be his favorite ones! He grins really big after the "woooohooo" part. The plane should spin freely and easily, but it doesn't. It's too tightly connected.The triggers on the side are easy to pull... my son's favorite part.

Just not that much to it...
We purchased this toy, as a whim, for my son's 2nd Christmas.Thankfully it was just a side present.With the traffic lights and train crossing signs we thought he would spend a bit more time with it than he does.I pull it out occasionally and show show him the colors on the lights (and use it as a traffic light when he gets on his trike) and he does, occasionally, play with the winding ramp.But since the 04 Xmas he's only wanted to play with it less than a dozen times.

This was a flop at our house.
I have 3 boys ages 4.5, 3 and 1 - this toy is just collecting dust. ... Read more
