goldjay's Full Review: Viking Toys Chubbie Dump Truck
As I'm sure I've mentioned in other epinions here, my 2.5 year old son loves vehicles. He likes anything with wheels but he is especially fond of vehicles that he can hold and take places. Big trucks are fun too but not nearly as portable and since we are so often on the go, he likes things he can take with us. The Viking Toys Chubbie Dump Truck is one of my son's favorites these days.
Description The Chubbie Dump Truck is about 6 inches long and about 4 inches high at it's highest point. It is blue with a yellow "bed." The wheels are white with green circles in the middle. . The bed of the truck itself is about 3 inches square and can hold other little toys during play.
The toy is made out of durable plastic and has held up to some very rough play at times. It is well put together as well. All of the wheels are intact and the dump bed is attached and working well too. I know that other trucks we've had, the moving parts are the first to go but not so with this toy.
Our Experiences My son loves to play with this dump truck along with his other Chubbie trucks but, this one does seem to be his favorite. I think it is because he can put other little toys in the dump truck and transport them from place to place. I have found all sorts of toy animals and toy food in the dump truck going for a ride. My son seems to have a wild imagination when it comes to his trucks and he likes trucks that are useful.
In addition, we both like this truck because it is small enough to take places, like when we have appointments or when we go to grandma's house. This dump truck fits easily inside our "toy bag" and can be transported without lugging anything too big or too heavy. And, it provides lots of entertainment, even when my son is playing with it in his carseat!
Recommendations I would definitely recommend this truck for any child who loves vehicles. It is the prefect size for toddlers and I'm sure preschoolers will love it too. It is simple yet fun and best of all, requires no batteries, only a child's imagination!
