Looks better than it is.Reviewed by Brian Guevara, 2010-01-29
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.
How much fun can a boy have?Reviewed by Mrs. Irene Harris, 2009-06-23
Bought this as a gift for 2 year old grandson. He just loves it - so much better than a remote or any other battery operated one as he uses his imagination and words all the time while playing with it. Very sturdy toy. Great for indoor or outdoor use.
