ROLLY TOYSCAT Construction Ride-On: 360-Degree Excavator/Shovel Digger, Youth Ages 3+ , Yellow

The toy itself is wonderful. My son has a lot of fun. It is strong build to hold him and easy to use. We ordered for Christmas, but unfortunatelly when we tried to put it together, there were missing parts. It is such a disapointment for a child on Christmas time to not be able to use his new toy because of some missing parts. My husband had to improvised something to make it work.My rate: 100% go for it, if you are lucky to get all the parts!

My son loves this. He is a tractor fenatic and when he got this for Christmas he was in heaven. The assembly wasn't to bad..it does take time and some elbow grease but to see the look on your kids face...WORTH IT. The construction is awesome. My son is not gentle with it and I believe it will last. Heavy duty plastic and moving parts are well thought out so there is no strain on them which will cause breakage. Hopefully it last to hand down to his sister...she will probably be into tractors to since there daddy loves them too.

Got this for my son who just turned 3. He is about 40" tall (this info will be useful later).The unit is very well built and seems quite sturdy. One thing to note though is if you purchase this for use in North or South America, the warranty is only 180 days and not 3 years. My son has only been using it a couple of hours but overall he loves it. There is a learning curve to operate it properly (pushing with one hand while pulling with the other), but with time and practice I'm sure any kid could learn to use it well. This leads me to the design flaw(s). Either the operating arms are too long, or the seat needs to be farther back from the arm. I believe the seat should be farther back from the arm, since the added length of the levers helps to move the arm with relative ease. When my son sits on it, the levers are right in his stomach when the arm is up, so it is difficult for him to maneuver the levers and swing it around. An extra four inches would make a world of difference. Right now my son can't really sit on it and move it around - his legs are too short (and he has very long legs for his age). He will easily grow into it, but I'm hoping the position of the levers relative to the seat does not become a significant issue for him.Overall, I very much recommend this product especially compared with similar products on the market. It is well-built and sturdy and I believe it will stand up to years of use.

I gave this to my 3 yr old grandson. I wish I had seen it earlier (at age 2). He loves it and it fits him fine but will out grow it too soon. It is easy for him to work the arms and it will really dig sand or loose dirt (not hard or packed dirt). He has played on it outside and also plays with it inside too. I would recommend.

My grandson loves all digging equipment. So, when I saw this on a website I knew this was the perfect gift. I gave this Kettle digger to my 2 yr old grandson. HE LOVES IT!! It is in his sandbox and he uses it everyday. I put it together my self - great directions. The delivery was quick and the price was right too. I know it is for 3yr+ but he is doing well with it. It is very sturdy - I look forward to him getting a lot of playing time with it. Thanks.

My husband and I put this together for 3 yr old grandson on Christmas Eve. As others had reported, it took longer than expected. We checked and double checked that all the screws were in the correct places, however, the screw on the boom arm seemed short but we did attach and cap it as directed. On Christmas Day, within 15 minutes of use, the screw and cap on the boom arm popped off and has not stayed. This detachable cap and screw pose a danger of choking to any small child so we had to leave it off. My grandson is extremely disappointed that he cannot operate the bucket and boom. It is also very difficult to turn and is tippsy if he tries to move it while seated. Disappointing that one bad screw essentially ruined the experience of the whole toy! A waste of money!

Just bought this for my 2 year old for his birthday. He loves it! Hes still pretty small and his feet can't reach the floor to move around but he rests them on the grey part right between the wheels. I would recommend this for a large 2 year old or a very coordinated one. My little guy has his brother and sisters helping him scoot around. This toy will only get more use as he grows. The little black exhaust pipe will fall off but my kids had no problem poking it back in it almost adds another learning element to this toy. Great learning toy better than expected.

Body seems tough like the push tractors, thick ABS like materiel , the excavator arm i have my doubts it will last more than 1/2 a kid, its just plastic. The boom and the dipper function well, the bucket has no function and is on a weird angle. Raising the boom will make everything fall out of the bucket. You kid is not easily picking up anything with this, it just spills out.
