Do you think that a Bruder Garbage truck is too difficult for a 2 year old. He loves garbage trucks and has good goo d manual dexterity. Please let

My son and all if his 2-5 year old friends play with it. We shredded up a piece of paper and they "grind" it by cranking the side then dump it out the back. Has provided endless entertainment since he was 2yo. He's had it almost 3 years now and I think it's more than worth the price!!!

Two is the perfect age for this toy. By age three he will likely find garbage trucks a bit less interesting but at two years old they are fascinating. This toy is easy enough for kids to have fun. Small 'garbage' may need to be uncaught from the bin periodically by an adult.

I was super excited to start buying bruiser trucks for my 3 yr old but now I'm disappointed I wasted the money. The bruiser guy was broke within a day an the side loader on the garbage truck only lasted about a week. They are not nearly as tough as they claim to be so unless your 2 yr is very dainty I woul look into getting him something else.

Our son was 3 when we got this for him and he had no problem using it at all. Since your son is still 2 he may need a little help hooking the garbage cans onto the side-loader arm, but I'm sure he'd catch on fast. If he loves garbage trucks, I am sure he will LOVE having this- you may want to get the extra pack of garbage cans they sell too so he can really collect the trash:)

Yes this toy is very durable and I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived to see how big it was. The features are cool all the parts actually move. He's 10 years old now and hardly ever plays with these trucks now (of course until I just mentioned I wanted to reply to someone asking me about it now the crane and bulldozer are also in the middle of my bedroom floor :) hope this helps...Also if interested I will sale for half the retail price.

Yes, very easily. And, not all of the cars are motorized. My grandson just turned 2. He couldn't stop playing with this. The ramp was too difficult for him, though. The train goes up the ramp, but you turn a crank to help it up. He'll have to wait until he's older. We liked this so much that we then bought extra track and the fire station set. My grandson loves this product. I hope this is helpful to you.

Yes my grandson just turned 2 at Christmas, he operates it without any problems. He loves it. He just needed to calm down to learn the controls.

Hi Karla, since "small" is a subjective word I can only offer the following comments/info for your consideration: the truck specs indicate the age range is from 1-5 years, and though my 1 year old grandson did fit into it, I would say that a 5 year old could have problems in that regard. Beyond the size question though, my question is how rough does your son like to play? The construction of the truck does not provide much safety in the case of overturning, so 100% hands-on supervision is required to ensure the safety of the child. Hope this helps.

My son just turned four, and he went through this so fast we had to get the more difficult one. I think she will start slow, then catch on quickly to pointing out the same items, even if she can't say what they are. My kids have their own description of all the items, anyway...funny stuff. My advice is try it....I think you will be surprised how fast she will pick it up. Or, in just a few months try again. It is such a fun game to just hang out and play.

My son is 5, and some times it is hard for him to assemble the models. I have latelly recognized that he enjoys better easier legos that are easy for him to manipulate and he builds much more creative things than if I get him "age appropiate or older kind of legos". The zoob legos are very nice, however some times it is frustrating for him that his creations break while he plays with them...

I would say no, I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old. My 4 year old LOVES this tractor and understands how to use it and steer it. My 2 year old has figured out how to make it go but doesn't understand how to steer it which can make this toy dangerous to himself and others. I would say 3 and up is best as they understand so much more at that age. Hope that helps.

I don't have that issue with mine. I have several boys that play with the truck.. mine has been thrown, kicked, painted, buried in sand, washed in the water table and left in the sun. It is still going strong. The wheels turn, it tilts, the back opens. Nothing has fallen off, broken off... it still is in great shape. I also have the bus, dump truck and fire truck. They have also gone through a tough time with the boys and are still working great.

I have three kids, 2, 4 and 6. They all love it, but the 2 yr old doesn't really drive it, just rides as a passenger. You could put a pillow to move him up closer, but honestly, my 2 year old doesn't really understand the steering or forward and reverse that well and the few times he tried to drive himself, we had to keep steering him or changing the gear. That said, if you get it now, he will have years of fun with it. My 6 year old is 49" tall and still loves riding it!

I highly recommend Lego Duple Creative Cars. I bought it as a birthday gift for my toddler when he turned 2 years old. It has been 6 months since I bought him Creative Cars and he STILL plays with it everyday! He uses his hands a lot because the pieces are designed so that the child clicks together and pulls apart pieces in order to make different cars. My toddler always has such a serious look on his face when he is creating the cars. I do see him using his hand muscles to create various styles of cars. So far it has been the best toy of his life :)

Yes, the truck is actually that big. I was surprised that it was mostly assembled too. My son got it for Christmasast year. He is 3 years old, turning 4 soon, and was playing with it last night. I like that it comes with a garbage can and realistic looking recycling garbage. He likes the tipper that loads the garbage into the truck. The truck can hold a lot of trash.

Yes, I think your 2.5 year could pick up the movement of it quite easily. It may take a few times of being on it, but they will get it. It also can be moved with their feet. I think having 2 cars would be better as all kids are interested in riding it (even teens!).

Tough age I had the same issue when my sons were 2. I ended up going with a Jeep because there is only one peddle for operation, on the KFX you have the peddle at his foot and a accelerator at the right hand @ 2' tall he may not be able to reach the peddle and steer comfortably. This is a hefty ride on for its size. Then again skill and capability are on your end. If you need measurements let me know

I bought this car for my 4 year old granddaughter and she fits in it just fine. She loves it and I also bought the fire truck for my 2 1/2 year old grandson and he had a little trouble peddling at first but he caught on pretty quickly. I love both of the purchases and they ride them a lot. I think she should be fine. I hope this helps.

that's funny you asked that. :) my son is obsessed with rescue bots and fire trucks....we use the bots in the station. the smaller plastic non-changing ones hang out the rooms and the transforming bots in the vehicle depots and top area. pretty much all on my sons matchbox cars, rescue bots, batman/superhero friends hang out in this thing. he loves it...we bought it for him last christmas, and he still uses it daily. he is a little over 3.5 YO now.
