Bruder Toys 02813 Mack Granite Flatbed Truck with JCB Loader Backhoe - Realistic Construction Toy for Kids Ages 3+, Perfect for Imaginative Play and Collectors

You have to know your kid and what your kid likes. My kid loves trucks with trailers, and he has good but not great fine motor skills. This toy has appealed to him more than some of the other expensive Bruder trucks have. It's a bit easier to work with than some of the other Bruder trucks. The side-arm garbage trucks require some very good fine motor skills to get the arm to go out, hook the can, and bring it all the way up and dump it. My kid got a bit frustrated with it. This truck, though, is simple enough that he can easily get the loading ramps up and down, can easily get the backhoe on and off, can get the cab hood up and down, etc.And, of course, once the backhoe is off all sorts of other things can go on the trailer. Lots of fun. As Bruder trucks go there's a lot to do with this one, and the cab doors open and close. For my kid that was very important. On our other Bruders the cab doors don't open, and if the kid wants to put a driver in there--well, you need to have doors that open.These Bruder toys are VERY well made and very precise, and seem to do best with kids who like careful, thoughtful, gentle play. If your kid likes to smash stuff, he's going to turn this into an $84 pile of plastic parts pretty quickly. These are NOT as sturdy as the Tonka trucks of old.This thing is massive, almost three feet long, and it does have massive amounts of the wow factor. When the kid sees it he is just stopped in his tracks it looks so impressive.
