This excavator is extremely stable very easy to handle just as well for our 3 year old son of the just also has a soft spot for this kind of toy. We had seen the excavators times in a toy store around the corner and there he wanted to have necessarily have. Well as we wanted to purchase this was the course out of print and here even cheaper on Amazon many times. He has the backhoe now almost 2 months and still plays as the day you order. The money has paid off 100%. Small parts that could be swallowed are indeed doing, but not necessarily to install. Definitely very good quality.
