Best thing since buttered bread !,
May 9, 2008
By Anonymous Reviewer

"First I have to say that the base for this toy could NOT be built for this price, making this an excellent value.
I have two little people who are tough on everything, one is a 4yr old girl the other a 2 yr old boy. These two went nuts over the dirt digger and handled the controls right away. Lucky for me I bought two of them.
Only things I thought I would give a negative tone too would be these, the seat seems too close to be able to pull the handles all the way back, (my 4 yr old actually prefers it close). The other thing is that the bucket won't quite bump it's payload when extended. Both of these are cured with the drlling of a few holes, but not nesessary for complete enjoyment.
My 2yr old can work the controls well but has to stand to turn the unit (could have foot pegs to keep him in the seat when digging).
We have used this in my pile of driveway gravel and my little girl did great, I am sure this is fantastic in sand or pea gravel.
Putting this together was fairly easy, under 30 min., really only two bolts/nuts for the seat and one more for the riging, everything else is already assembled. Slide the seat post into the base and dig !
Too cool !! Will last a LONG time I'm sure !! Getting more for the nephews !!"

What a 4 year old loves,
April 21, 2008
By Eliot

"I bought 2 for my 4 year old grandsons.
Both just took minutes to learn how they work.
Played in the fall digging in the sandbox.
First snow they both had to go outside to dig up the snow.
Don't expect perfection just down in the dirt type fun."

Little digger a hit,
April 18, 2008
By LeeAnn
from Alamogordo, NM
|
"We tied a garden gnome to the seat of this toy with a sign on his back, 'for hire', & planted it in the driveway of some friends who run an excavation business. It worked, as we all got a good laugh, especially since we put the bucket on backwards. You might consider calling it a "sandlot toy/yard ornament" in the catalog."

"We have three of these at our house and our boys love them! Sometimes they can be a little difficult for them, but it encourages hand eye coordination. The boys were 3 and 4 when we first bought them, now they are 4 1/2 and 6 and they still love this toy."

child's toy digger,
April 14, 2008
By birtysdrywall
from mi
|
"The digger is okay for the amount we spent on it. I wish we would have bought a higher end brand though. The gears on the device are too close, making it almost impossible for our son to manipulate the digger while sitting on the seat. The packaging was very poor. The box was open at the top, exposing the toy. There were some scratches on it because of this, but we figured it would get alot more scratched, so ignored it."

Little Digger Sandlot Toy,

By rongo
from New Hampshire
|
"My 3 year-old grandson loved this item. I had it shipped to my son in California, and he assembled it with no problems. THe thing may wear out due to overuse, since my grandson has to fight off his little sister who also wants to use it (maybe I'll get one for her next year, she's not 2 yet)."

Sand Digger,
January 22, 2008
By anglndsgz
from Kansas City
|
"We have a large sandbox and the the kids have always loved playing with these things when we are out and about at the playgrounds. So I thought having one at home would be fun for them. They love it. It keeps them occupied for awhile and they love moving the sand around to build whatever it is they are building that day."

"Was easy to put together. Seat is small for larger children, but mine range from 2 to 7 years old. Kids love playing with it in dirt. Would dig much better in sand that dirt."
