This Push & Pull Toys give to us some advantages, like this :
1. It doesn't matter how great the idea is if the execution is CRAP!
My son is obsessed with forklifts. Evertime we go to the store he listens for the beeping of the forklift and then we have to go look for it and watch it for forever. I thought he would love to have a forklift of his very own. Since we are trying to stay away from wood toys, I bought this one. It looked durable and fun with the little guy and a pallet with blocks to lift up and down.

We got the forklift and I opened the box up and you have to attach the front part of the forklift (the fork part that goes up and down) with this crappy peg that fits in a hole. Thats it!!! No screws, or anything. So of course the pegs keep coming out of the holes. Next, the crank you turn to make the forks go up and down broke, within 5 minutes of playing and I was the one playing so I know I was being very careful. Imagine what would happen if kids were to play with it...how long would it last then.

I am very disappointed in this toy. I was so happy to get it and then it...

2. We love Plan Toys!
We are big fans of Plan Toys. They are made in Thailand of wood from rubber trees that are no longer producing latex and would be cut down anyways. The wood is minimally treated and painted with non-toxic paints and finishes. And all the designs are just adorable. This forklift is no exception. We especially love how it comes with a driver and three boxes to lift. And Amazon's price is by far the best.

not terribly impressed
My 3 year old got this toy as a gift. He plays with it and seems to enjoy it but overall I am not impressed with this toy...
- The forklift angles down slightly meaning that things tend to slide off it really easily, especially when moving the vehicle around.
- The little man does not fit into the vehicle very well. My son gets very frustrated trying to get him in (the space is a little small for such a long person and requires more dexterity than most 3 year olds would have) and then once he is in he doesn't stay put.
- The durability is generally ok (the vehicle has stood up to some tosses when my son got frustrated (see above)) but the workmanship was not what I would have expected from plan toys (or from the price). On the first day the little man's foot came unglued as well as another small (and seemingly insignificant) part on the forklift.
