    • Great toy for young kids!
Style: Recycle Truck
I’m an SLP (Speech Language Pathologist). Many of my young preschool to Kindergarten kids love this toy! I removed 1 star for a lack of instructions & back gate not closing. Some instructions for which part to put in the drill would’ve been helpful initially. Also, the back door/gate on the truck wouldn’t stay closed. I added a tiny bit of Velcro to both sides to fix it. Overall, my clients live playing with it. Adding more characters would be great too! ... show more

    • Good quality, toddler loves it!
Style: Recycle Truck
This toy is well-designed and good quality for the price. Other plastic vehicles and playsets we have are built with thin, flimsy plastic and moving parts that fit too loosely or too tightly and that barely fulfill their intended purposes (e.g. a construction vehicle with a back hoe arm that doesn't swivel smoothly on its hinges). This toy is not like that: it's mostly sturdy plastic and the moving parts move smoothly and as intended; it's easy to tell that it was designed and manufactured with higher standards. The drill is awesome. It can spin CW and CCW (or anti-CW) but does so gently and the motor has a failsafe (clicking sound) to prevent screws from being over-tightened. The screws go in and come out smoothly enough to do so effortlessly by hand. It is true that the back door of the truck seems like it won't stay shut very well. In my case, it does stay shut, but it does seem a little weak. (Edit: after playing with it more, I have to say that it is quite weak and pops open at the slightest jolt or force from the inside, e.g. when the bolts are dumped into the truck bed. This is the toy's one flaw!) Best of all, my 2.5 y/o is totally captivated by the drill and drilling action; I think the makers are really onto something with this whole power drill thing! ... show more

    • He loves it!
Style: Recycle Truck
He's not a baby any more, but not ready for a remote vehicle. Absolutely loves this truck and learning how to use tools is a great step in development.

    • Wasted Potential
Style: Recycle Truck
My 2 year old garbage truck-obsessed son received this for Christmas. This is a great concept - a cool truck that comes with a tool to fix it. Those are the ingredients that make for a happy kid. Upon opening the box, it only took a minute to find two major design flaws. The tailgate doesn’t stay closed, and the bin on the front overshoots the hopper when you lift the forks to dump the bin. Those are significant flaws which make this truck a lot less fun to play with. However, my son does like the drill which spins well enough and is of decent quality. He was able to remove and replace the screws as he saw fit. He played with it for a couple of days, but it has since been relegated to the toy box. We taped the tailgate closed, but he was unable to overcome his frustration with the misaligned bin-to-hopper motion. He does still play with the drill and screws. They earned their place in his toolbox for which I will award one additional star to this review. Fix these two issues and this is a fun little interactive truck. Otherwise, save your money and keep looking. ... show more

    • Great Educational Toy During This Quarantine Period!
Style: Recycle Truck
Like most families, we are staying home due to COVID-19 and avoiding going out for our health and safety. It’s been tough trying to work from home and take care of our children. Our 4-year-old has A LOT of energy and has a tendency to get bored very easily. We ordered the Design & Drill Bolt Buddies Pick-it-Up Truck and it arrived just in time as we were running out of ideas for our child. She immediately took interest as she looked at the box and was excited to open it up. As soon as we took it out and put batteries inside the drill, she was going at it with the bolts and drilling them into the truck. It took a few tries for her to understand how to use the drill (drilling in vs. drilling out), but she figured it out and her face lit up as she succeeded in constructing and engineering parts of the truck. This is a great educational toy to practice fine motor skills! Our 2-year-old was also very interested as she watched her older sister design and build the parts of the truck. They both love the drill and have even used it to “fix” other things around the house. As a parent, I love that this toy incorporates play, teamwork, fine motor skills, and STEM. It’s teaching our children how to use a life-like, kid-safe toy drill to design and build using their imagination. We also love the eco-friendly packaging so that it can be used as part of the play! There was no waste, which is something we find very important to teach our kids. And it’s also perfect because the truck is designed to be a recycling truck. Overall, we are very satisfied and glad we came across this unique educational toy! Two thumbs up! ... show more

    • Is it Recyclable?
Style: Recycle Truck
The drill does not work, even with brand new batteries. The clear plastic flap on the back does not stay closed.

    • Great toy for those who are interested in tools.
Style: Recycle Truck
I like the idea of the product. My son loves it. It’s not too complicated for him to figure out, so he can easily sit by himself and quietly work on his trash truck. My only complaint is that there is no storage for all the bolts. The picture shows the bucket of the trash truck holding the bolts, which while true it will hold some bolts, it doesn’t hold all the extras it comes with. And the back, where the garbage would go, isn’t an option because the flap does not stay closed. Overall, it’s a neat toy that allows for some creative thinking of their own. If you can get past the storage for all the extras bolts, then it’s a good toy that is fairly inexpensive. ... show more
