Got this excavator with the loader and dump truck as a set for our son's 3rd birthday. The excavator bucket and boom broke the first time he had it in the dirt pile....so much for being durable and able to stand up to what they are advertised to be made for! The dump truck broke a few days after that...the pieces just break off...this material is not made for playing with dirt and sand, etc. Would probably be okay for inside only, gentle play. VERY, VERY DISSATISFIED!!!!!!! WOULD NOT PURCHASE AGAIN!!!!

My wife was so excited when she saw this line of trucks. She loved the idea of them being made out of recycled materials and that she could get my son a matching set of trucks. My son LOVES trucks. He would dig in the sandbox and the dirt all day if we let him. So my wife paid $50 and bought the excavator, loader, and dump truck. We gave them to him for his birthday. I got to see him open them before I left for work. He was so excited. But I could tell instantly once I handled the excavator that one, he was going to have a hard time manipulating the bucket mechanism and two, that the build quality may not stand up to REAL use in the sandbox.
My suspicion came true as 2 hours later I received a text from my wife that said the bucket of the excavator broke off. Man! That stinks! Well, we thought, we'll just have to buy him a replacement digger. He played with the other two trucks, the loader and dump truck for the next few days. The next to go was the Loader, a part snapped off. Then, today the dump truck bit the dust, as a connector piece of IT broke off!
I realize that they are only 11 bucks each, but I expected a bit more. If you child has a light hand and doesn't actually DIG with their trucks, then buy all means, these are great. But if you child is like ours and uses them to actually DIG, then you need to get something more durable. We have had great luck with Tonka and Little Tikes toys. They are well put together and they last. But please be wary of these trucks.

My 2 year old loved it from the first instant, but there is a little bit of plastic that catches to keep the digger in the open position. He would get very frustrated trying to make it work. We took a file and sanded down the little bit of plastic and now it opens/closes smoothly. Also, the wheel base can lock/unlock so that the wheels turn sideways and all the way around. This can be another source of frustration for him. This has been in the dirt and in the tub and it holds up fairly well despite thin plastic and rough play. Probably better suited to 3-year-old and up, but the only "green" construction equipment we could find.

My two-year-old son received three Sprig trucks for his birthday - the excavator, dump truck, and bulldozer. He plays with them everyday outside in the dirt pile in our backyard. His imaginative play has definitely increased since he received them. He now makes roads and constructs "buildings" from piles of dirt, rocks, and sticks. The trucks have withstood a lot of rough play. I would definitely recommend these to anyone with toddlers and preschoolers.

I asked my 3 1/2 year old grandson what he wanted to play with for an upcoming visit to my house in Alaska and he said an "excavator", so I bought this one for use in the sandbox. He loved it, had great fun, but was becoming frustrated with the lift handle getting jammed stuck when he lifted dirt. (We also have a 'dirt' box!) I showed him how to jiggle the handle side to side rather forcibly, and then he played without needing help. I also bought the matching dump truck and the two toys make a great combination. My grandson, who has MANY construction vehicles at his home in California, loved playing with them once we figured out the handle issue. He's the one who's opinion matters here!
