Product description

Sprig Eco-Trucks are loads of fun. Can you dig it? Digging, loading and dumping. That's a tried-and-true formula for dirt pile and sandbox fun that we simply won't mess with. Sprig Eco-Trucks are fully equipped with flip-open cabs and easy-grab handles, making each freewheeling vehicle inviting and a cinch to maneuver. The scooping action and rotating chassis of the Excavator turns serious digging into child's play. The Loader does the trio's heavy lifting, and the Dump Truck gets the job done with its tilting cab, locking bed and swing-out tailgate. The playful, cartoon-like designs of our chunky vehicles make them irresistible to preschoolers, and parents love the eco-friendly, battery-free, kid-powered construction. Recommended for ages 3 and up.

Customer reviews

« A great truck for rough players. »

We got this truck for our son and he absolutely loves it. We also have other Sprig trucks and he puts them through their paces out in rocky dirt and mud and they hold up incredibly well.

I love the fact that it's made out of recycled materials and the smell of the pine that the plastic is blended with is lovely. Quite a difference between that and other plastic trucks.

It's medium sized and good for little hands without being too small to really be fun.

« Excellent, Excellent trucks! »

I have two little boys, age 2 and 3, and we all love these trucks! We bought the loader, the dump truck and the recycling truck. They're a great size and have lots of creative play features (like the truck cab flips up to insert "drivers," the large handle on top is perfect for "steering," etc.). I have a B.S. in Child Development and am picky about my kids toys. I am impressed with the excellent quality even though they're relatively inexpensive. We've owned them for about a month now and they're in as good condition as they were when we bought them and, believe me, they've been played with! These trucks are GREAT!!

« Great for my young grandkids to play in the dirt! »

I made this purchase in an attempt to find fun, durable toys for outside that were safe and usable (but not have to pay big dollars!). Since I bought them for Christmas, we haven't had them outside yet. I really like the handle for the little ones to be able to grab hold and move the bucket up and down. I believe it will be very durable outside - making dirt walls and digging canyons. We purchased the dump truck and the loader. Since all the grandkids love to play outside when it gets warmer, can't wait to see what their imaginations will build! I plan to add to the collection! Sprig Toys are Awesome!

« Not very durable... »

I bought this toy for my 22 month old son for Christmas. When it finally arrived (seriously late by the way but I'm not entirely sure that was amazon's fault) I thought at first it wasn't even in a package. It had a tiny little sliver of cardboard fitted around two of the wheels, understandable I suppose since it's an eco friendly company, anyway rather than trying to find a box or attempting to wrap it we just set it out under the tree. The toy was a nice size and the top opens up so you can put a little person inside, it's very light weight and my son loved it but it broke about three days later. The latch that keeps the top shut after you put a person in completely broke off, the toy is still usable but the entire experience was pretty annoying. I know kids can be rough on things but so should manufactures, when it's brand new I don't think it's unreasonable to expect it to last more than a few days.

« Sturdy Toys for Little Hands »

These trucks are a great alternative to more expensive metal toys and other cheap plastic trucks. The big handles allow even little hands to operate them for maximum fun. My 3 yr. old grandson simply loves them. I would absolutely buy more of these quality trucks from this manufacturer.
