The truck has a very good size and other good details for the little ones, it is strong if your child is not a child who destroys.I would say my title says it all. This Bruder garbage truck is definitely 100% the holy Grail of all garbage truck toys. The compactor is amazing and it is quite large. The grabber movement is an absolute 10 favorites because the grabber arm does come out like a garbage truck it hooks onto the can pulls it back in and you can twist to dump the trash. My child is absolutely in love with the garbage can and the garbage truck. I love that it is quite realistic as possible to real life grab her garbage cans. What it also really like is that the arm is very sturdy and it does function with not just the garbage cans it comes with but also other garbage cans that have the capability to be hooked.If you have a garbage truck fan lover, this is definitely the gift to purchase for them.This is our second Bruder, purchased as a bday gift for our three year old. It has held up perfectly even with somewhat rough play. We love the attention to detail and high quality of Bruder trucks. Expensive but definitely a cut above.4 year old loves this toy. We only had one issue with and that is the grabber arm . I wish it had been made with a better quality because I have to fix it constantly.My son loved getting this gift. Even as a typical vehicle loving 3 y/o boy, this has been his most played with toy since he got it. Then again, since he was able to walk he's been one to jump out of bed and plead to go watch the garbage/recycling truck come by and pick up our curbside bins.The body of the truck is well built. At first I was hesitant to spend the asking price for a plastic toy truck but the quality is better than just about any plastic toy I've ever seen. It even has a natural play in how the body and chassis sit together, and after about 6 months of playing with it, all the moving parts still snap into place and move smoothly like day one, The internal "processing" of the trash that gets dumped in the top is just a simple pair of screw shafts but it pushes your trash to the rear like magic. We only use old paper scraps for our play material...literally some left over wrapping paper, and our son loves continually dumping it out, gathering it into the bins, picking up and dumping into the truck, process with the hand crank and dump out the back again. FWIW the doors don't open nor does the steering wheel turn the front wheels but that's not a model car type feature I was expecting.Gotta mention once more how good the quality of the plastic material and the perfect form and finish of the molded pieces are with this truck.Our two boys (2 and 4) play with this trash truck daily! It was definitely worth the money! My only complaint is that within a month both doors have broken and fallen off, and are unable to be fixed and put back on. I wish that part was a little more durable like the rest of the truck, but it doesn't affect the overall functionality so it's not a huge deal.Great truck, child loved, loved it.Not durable parts break offWow this is very big and quite heavy. I haven't taken it out of the box as it's for Xmas but I've looked on YouTube and it has these little red spiral twisty things inside it to compress the rubbish I think. The doors don't open for the driver and passenger but the Windows are big enough to fit a playmobil man inside which my son will love. The wheels seem like maybe rubber so better than plastic and it has a sticker on the top of the vehicle that instructs children not to sit on it, I know my kids will anyway lol espically my 2 year old. I don't know why this toy is quite expensive but it's "just like the real thing" and also I think the brand bruder may reflect the price too. If I was choosing a bin lorry for my son (6) I wouldn't of chose this one, the reason I got this one was at my son's request. He recently looked in a smyths catalogue and discovered bruder have quite a large range of toys and yes he wants to collect them all, so defiantly very appealing to children and it seems like a robust toy. I would recommend.Looks very realistic, all of the materials used are strong and good looking, it is a pleasure to play with.If your son or grandson likes bin wagons, this is the one for him, if my grandson can't break it it must be good!!!!Bought this for my triplet grandsons. It is very big, robust and has kept them entertained for hours.The bin tipping mechanism is quite fiddly, so Grandad has to assist, but with the addition of the Garbage Can Set (Bruder 02606) has allowed to play very imaginatively.This is a very high quality toy and well worth the money.strong quality toys
