Sports reviews of Kettler Cat Excavator

Customer Review: My Three-Year Old's Favorite Toy Right Now
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

My wife and I purchased this differ for my son's third birthday. He loved the diggers at nearby playgrounds and a digger was his number one wish for his birthday.

The tractor wheels don't really make the digger super mobile, but they do make for a very stable base and, even more importantly, they make this digger look even more like a real tractor, which my son loves.

I was a little concerned that my son would be too small for this digger or that it would be tipsy, but was pleased to find out that it works great for him and he's had no accidents on it.

The digger has a red plate that locks it in the upright position. It has a tendency to lock the digger in that position unintentionally and my son isn't coordinated enough to hold the digger upright with one hand and unlock it with the other so I just removed the locking plate, which was easy. I was a little concerned that he might pinch something (Ouch!) in the joint that was then left uncovered but this hasn't been an issue.

All in all, a great purchase. If your 3-5 year-old is even remotely interested in trucks, tractors or digging he or she is sure to love it.

Description of Kettler Cat Excavator

Official CAT Licensed Merchandise

Does your child like to dig in the sandbox? Well put away the shovels and put on the hardhat--the Kettler Cat excavator is ready to do the heavy lifting. This mini-Cat is big enough to seat a child who weighs less than 75 pounds, but small enough to fit in the average sandbox. Once seated, your child can use the dual action levers and large digging shovel to move sand, dirt, snow, or whatever else his or her heart desires. Like a real Cat, the excavator rotates 360 degrees, so you have full flexibility, and its tracked wheels are ideal for tooling around in the soft stuff. Best of all, the mini-Cat sports a sturdy high-carbon steel frame, so it won't fall apart after a few months of use, unlike so many plastic children's toys. Recommended for kids ages 3 and up, the excavator is backed by a three-year residential and one-year institutional warranty.
