imaginational value 100% our three year old plays with it everyday at some point, putting anything in the back and empting it out again. been best toy I have seen for him, and we have been confident to buy other playmobil products on the back off this alone.............. excellant and also when we pass the bin men in our daily lives.... he talks about his one.

MY 32 MONTH OLD SON IS OBSESSED WITH "BIN TRUCKS" AND RECYLING TRUCKS, WE PURCHASED THIS PRODUCT FOR CHRISTMAS TO ADD TO HIS "FLEET" AND HIS DELIGHT ON CHRISTMAS DAY CAN NOT BE DESCRIBED, WHEREAS SOME OF THE TOYS BOUGHT HAVE BEEN PUSHED INTO THE TOY BOX HE STILL ENJOYS HOURS OF FUN WITH THIS, I DO NOT THINK A DAY HAS GONE BY WHERE HE HAS NOT PLAYED WITH IT. THE ADDED BONUS IS THAT THIS ONE HAS BIN MEN.

THE ONLY BAD POINT IS THAT THE LIDS DO COME OF THE BINS HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT A CHOKING HAZARD

Hard wearing, well built product. Can be dropped (often from a great height!) and won't break. Bits do come off but can be easily put back together. Good for little fingers to work out what to do. Our 3 year old plays with it for hours. A brilliant buy and great value for money.

My son loves this truck, it's great because it's a good size and you can actually open it up and put things in so he uses it with his other toys too. it's made well, comes with good acessories and actually works aswell! you can hook the bin on the back and tip in the truck. I would definitely recommend this.

This is only a minor point and the good points far outweigh it, but there were quite a few stickers to put on the toy which I hate doing.

I thought the plastic was a little thin????? how long before vital hinges snap???? But for the money it is probably the best you can expect. I would have payed more for stronger quality. Isn't recycling about making things last longer?

My son was desperate for this toy so we bought it for his 3rd birthday and he was delighted. Easy to assemble (his 9 year old sister did this for him!).
-
The different components come apart easily and the action of raising the lorry to "tip out the rubbish" doesn't work very well as it just separates from the base so forever having to put it together again. Also really awkward to get the bins attached to the back to tip up into the truck. However, our son still loves playing with it, it's just a bit of a pain for the grown-ups!
