One of the first words of my nephew was "digger". Since it was obvious to him to his to give second birthday just such. At first I was a little skeptical if he is not yet too small for this toy. My concerns have but resolved quickly. Certainly he gets the precise control of its Motor not quite out. However, since the excavator is extremely stable and no small parts exist can be solved so the game (rabid), he has also now already been thrilled about it. And due to the superior processing am I believe that he will have in several years his pleasure.
