Mattel Hot Wheels Monster Grave Digger Truck

Pros: Attractive model of the original monster truck.
Cons: Scary design might not be for all youngsters.

For awhile now, my 3 year old son, Tristan, has started to outgrow his baby toys and has moved on to action figures as well as toy vehicles. He tries to play with his older brother's stuff, but some of it just isn't age appropriate for preschooler ...

Pros: small, inexpensive, keeps his attention and imagination going
Cons: The noises it makes, scary look.

I have a 4 year old nephew who introduced my 2 year old to this and he loves to take it with him everywhere and it's small enough that we can. It is easy to use and is very durable. He has the larger version that runs on batteries and the other one used by "reving". We set up things for it to knock over (empty gatorade bottles).
