My daughter shouted I love you when opening this box - but it was directed to Al the puppy and not to me! The visual is excellent and the truck on its own is fun to cruise around. Especially on our city street designed mat. The actual crane function leaves a lot to be desired. The mechanisms used to rotate the seat, move the crane up and down, and extend are somehow both sticky and unable to stay in place during normal play. My three year old didn’t care, but did cause some initial frustrations. The pickup and unload features of the truck’s crane are neat but unfortunately the crane doesn’t bend well to place the picked up items on the ground and only the single log fits properly. We did discover later that the dog also fits! So far the highlight is that the dog can sit in the cab and pretend to drive the truck.    -
