User Submitted Kettler Cat Front Loader and Backhoe ReviewsDate: 2008-09-20 Good size for a 3+ year old. When I first opened the package and saw all the pieces and poor instructions (pictures only type instructions), I was a little discouraged. But once I got strated, the assembly was actually really easy. I was able to put it together by myself in about an hour. The hardest part of assembly for me was the sticker placement. For the most part you only got one shot. If I tried to reposition them, they would tear. Even though it's mostly plastic, it seems to be pretty sturdy. It has enough to keep a little ones interest for a good while. And the option to buy extra accessories is nice. The only things I wish it had were a working horn, a gas cap/hole, a fake key of some sort and maybe a spot for a drink holder, as these type of extras seem to please most little ones. I would recommend this product to a friend as long as the price was not over $275. Date: 2008-07-29 Not a bad product I think the concept of this toy of awsome. However, we got it for my son's 3rd birthday and we realize this toy is a little too much for him at this age. The toy makes really wide turns making it difficult for him to ride it even in the driveway. The front loader is too heavy for him to use while sitting on the seat. The back hoe has too many steps to be ale to set up and use (unlock this while pulling up on that, then turn this and unlock another part, etc...). He really does enjoy using the back hoe in the dirt afer you get it set up. Maybe he will enjoy it more when as he gets older. Date: 2008-04-05 It's a Toy. My Husband and I ordered this for our 5 year old son, who is obsessed with heavy equipment. After reading the review I was nervous of a couple of things,,, -Would it be big enough -Would it be sturdy -Would we be able to assemble it The answer to all these are yes. My son is not a huge kid but there is still room to grow for him, (40lbs)I can even sit on it at 120lbs and it doesn't feel well too weird, except that I'm sitting on a toy. For a toy this is very sturdy, the shiny plasticky look scared me into thinking it would be flimsy, but it is not. He does 180's with it and flips it into the air. He runs into things like mad and none of the parts bend including the attachments. Now construction, this was a shock for me to believe all the problems people were having. Now I'm open to the possibility that maybe the directions have changed since it came out. This took us less than an hour to assemble including the stickers. Now, we also were talking with German voices, and having a blast. So I think if this needed to be assembled quickly it could be done within a half hour. It was not frustrating at all for us, sure colored directions would be nice, but unnecessary. So overall I am very pleased with this purchase, oh and the shipping time was not bad at all. If anybody is concerned about ordering through here I actually ordered mine through Northerntools.com Date: 2008-01-18 My 2 year old plays with this tractor everyday We got this tractor for our two year old for Christmas and he loves it. But I would recommend not putting the stickers on if your child likes to pick at things. My husband spent an hour putting on the stickers and our son spent five minutes putting them off. Date: 2008-01-07 This is the perfect thing if your child is into construction vehicles! My little guy loves anything that digs and scoops! This is a great ride-on toy that is easy to manuever for my four year old. He has a little difficulty in lowering/raising the stander, but he'll figure it out soon I'm sure. He has already spent HOURS in the snow making piles and moving it around. Come spring, we'll use dirt, but for now he's in loader/backhoe heaven! Some reviews indicated it would be very difficult to put together, but my husband had no problem. It is a large toy, so you'll need some room to store it.
