"We bought this as a second excavator to take to the house our son stays at while my husband and I go to work. Active children from 3-7 be occupied for hours with the Caterpiller Excavator. We had previously bought the red excavator (Little Digger Sandlot toy) and needed a second one. This is higher quality then the Little Digger and is mobile if the child has strong enough leg muscles. As you can see from our son's pictures the scoop easily fills a medium size toy dump truck. Guarenteed hours of outdoor entertainment, if you do not mind a hole or two in your yard."

Junior Digger,
January 23, 2008
By Dite
from colorado
"The junior digger is a great gift for my Grand Son. It is very realistic in the digging functions. It requires a swing, lower the bucket, dig, raise, swing the bucket, empty, and repeat. My Grandson is only 2 years old and he has mastered the technique. What a great training tool."

Whadaya mean "GUYS"?????,
January 14, 2008
By Nonie
from Nevada
"Hey - women buy stuff from you too! We bought this caterpiller "digger" for our 4 year old and he LOVES it. He would recommend it to anyone. It was easy to put together (even a girl could do it) and it does exactly what it says it does. We rigged it up so he can pull it with his John Deere (sorry) tractor. He calls it his "worker man digger." It is a great toy for a great little kid."

Very Sturdy Toy,
January 14, 2008
By Barb1
from Georgia
"This is a well built toy. It was easy to assemble and will not tip over easily. It does not roll easily, but once in place it is solid (unlike some others that I looked at). We have a huge sand pile (not a sand box) for our grandchildren and they have a lot of fun with these (we purchased two this year and one last year). I'm not sure it would be as much fun with a small sandbox."

Made with Steel,
January 14, 2008
By tmf1
from Chickasha, Ok
"Constructed very heavy with steel, except for the tracks and seat. I would give this a five, except the tracks will not rotate easy enought for my three year old grandson to move it. Hopefully this summer when the plastic and rubber material on the tracks warms up and they get hot, they will turn. Another con is it does tip over fairly easy, but in a sand pile this does not matter so much. I would recomment this toy for every sand box."

Cat Track Digger,
August 1, 2007
By CivilEngineer
from Connecticut
"I just received the unit today. We have two boys and they fought so much over the digger that I already ordered a second one. My boys are 3 1/2 and just over 2. It is a little big for the 2yr old, but you have to drag him off of it. The only thing bad I can say is that the stickers won't last long. We have a lot of riding toys( cat backhoe, JD gator, other ride on diggers). This thing is made to be abused. You get what you pay for and we bought a second because we are so impressed with the first. Believe the hype! As a civil engineer over seeing heavy highway construction, this thing is put together very well. No pinch points and all steel."

This is a great toy for your kids,

By nick2007ver
from Leesville ,Tx
"My wife and I bought this digger for my 3 year old on his birthday. It is made out of all metal for the rough kids like mine. He plays hard on all of his toys, and they don't last long but this one will last even for his kids. It is a great toy that is built very strong and to last many years!
Thanks,
leever_njr2007
P.S. works great in a sand box!
