Kettler CAT Digger

expensive, but a decent toy
My 3 year old son loves this. It's very sturdy and can really dig (in soft dirt or sand only) it won't break ground though. It's easy to maneuver & he fits on it perfectly; in fact it's a little big for him, and he's a big three year old too(45lbs, & 3.5 ft tall) It's the perfect size for my 7 year old who also plays with it. I wish it wasn't so expensive though. As nice as it is, I have to say that it IS overpriced. But if you're like me & know that your kid would love it, you won't be sorry if you get it for him.
Fun for a little kid!
I got this as a birthday present for my girlfriend's son for his 5th birthday. he went gaga over it, and used it constantly in the sand box. It is fairly sturdy and easy to use. It hold a decent amount of weight. I could sit on it and I'm 175lbs and it held up. It's a great toy!
Quality, tough, Son Loves it
I chose this over other diggers based on the good name of Kettler. But I'm still surprise even after a month of Hard use by my rough and tough 5 and 2 year old how this toy holds up. We've had no ,issues, and Love it.

Melissa & Doug Swivel Bridge Train Set

Great Set for the Money
We purchased this for our son for Christmas. He was going to be turning 2 in January. He loves Thomas, but it's hard to justify those prices especially when you have other children to buy for. Needless to say, we have been very impressed with this set. It has a ton of track, you can set it up in many different configurations--I don't think we've ever done the same thing twice! The bridge and tunnel are great additions. All in all, perfect for our son at his age. And just a note, Thomas track pieces and trains DO fit with this set, which is another bonus! Another great product from Melissa and Doug.
Hours of fun
This set was a christmas present for my 2 1/2 yr old son. He absolutely loves it.
I wondered if he would be able to put all the toys together easily/by himself without frustration and he has had no problems with any of the pieces. They are very well built (and trust me, this kid puts toys to the test).

I also wondered if this set would have enough pieces- I thought perhaps I would buy some additional corners and straight sections- I'm glad I didn't. There are plenty of pieces here.
Clean-up is great, too, all the pieces fit into a small basket.

If you have a child that loves trains, I would highly suggest this!
Great Set, Lots of fun!
My 2 boys love their train sets and play with it all the time. It is well built and does exactly what is is supposed to do. Anyone looking for a good train set should definitely consider this one.
