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.

Sports reviews of Kettler Cat Excavator

Customer Review: THE BEST!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

My boys LOVE all types of construction and farm toys. This one is the best! They can sit on it and dig, dig, dig! It is a little pricey, but well constructed and extremely worth the price! A MUST! We have had this toy for 8 months, and if my 3 boys can't break it, that in itself says quite a lot!

Customer Review: A boy's dream
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

My boy received this 3 years ago when he was 1 1/2 years old. He loved to sit on it in the house for the first year and turn around on it. After the first year, we moved it outdoors to the big sandbox. It has sat in the sandbox ever since.

My boy is now 4. He loves to go outside and "work" on his excavator. He can do everything really well now. He loves how it looks like the "real" thing. It has held up really great and has not faded or rusted. Some of the stickers are peeling off. It has sat for 2 years in all sorts of weather, including the scorching 110 degrees of summer and the freezing nights of winter.

My only complaints are that one of the bults in the "arm" of the excavator routinely comes undone and falls off. Also, it has been known to tip over a few times when my boy is digging while turned to the side position of the track base. It would probably be better if it was on a solid flat surface, but then it wouldn't be digging in the sand, right?

After 3 years, this excavator is still hard on the job and going strong!

Customer Review: four year old loves it !!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

Front bucket/scoop should be made of a more heavy duty plastic (if not metal) but overall a really cool product ! If you want to wow a little boy that loves construction vehicles ,this is the toy for him !! One caveat, the rear excavator is a little tricky for little ones to move and lock into position;adult supervision is recommended for this.
