Kid O Tip Truck Blue

Was thrilled to find this truck and the corresponding Kido car for my grandson’s first vehicles for his first Christmas! It was a long search, but when I found it I liked everything about this truck–it looked cool, it was sturdy, worked well, required no batteries and didn’t talk and sing and all that other nonsense that all the baby/toddler toys seem to do now. Yes, I do buy some such toys, but I was just looking for good quality plain vehicles that the kid can play with and put his imagination to use with.

My LO is a bit young for this at seven months (the box states “1+”), but he will grow into it and probably keep playing with it for several years. The size is a little large for his little hands, but it is not too big or heavy for him to manipulate. I love the white truck bed–big enough to carry a few small toys, and it is easy to lift and angle it like a dump truck. Also the back gate swings open like a pick-up (only it opens from the bottom). I like how the truck bed and gate both “click” into place when you shut them. The headlights are shiny, and remind me a bit of eyes, but I am glad that they did not paint a face on the truck; I did not want an anthropomorphic vehicle. It is ideal for holding and pushing because the space on the top of the cab forms a perfect “handle”, and the rubberized wheels spin like crazy. He will be able to get the thing moving easily with the slightest push. The handle will fit a grown up hand, too, just to give you an idea how big it is. And that gives me the idea of “driving” the truck over the babe’s tum-tum for laughs!

This product is distributed from Kid O toys in the USA and SmartBaby AB in Sweden. The styling is very European, I might add. The only drawback is that the toy is made in China, but at least they have done their homework in this case and made sure it is a safe, quality product. No sharp edges, no PVC, BPA or Phthalates. They got the packaging just right, too. It is a simple box–easy to wrap–just big enough for the truck and no extra stuff, made of 100% recycled cardboard.

I definitely recommend this Kido Tip Truck for any toddlers and preschoolers. If you are looking for vehicles for a kiddo who is crawling around and beginning to manipulate things in various ways, I think this is also a good bet.

Got this little truck in red and am going back for the blue and the green one. The dumptruck tilts, the tailgait swivels out, my 21 month old can hold on to the top while crawling and pushing it at the same time. He loves it. And I like that’s it’s modern and sleek. Couldn’t be happier. Unless it also came in orange. Then maybe I could be happier.

this truck is a perfect first truck for a toddler. I got it for my son for his 1st birthday and 6 months later it is still one of his favorite toys. love the color and it is very sturdy. the truck bed tilts and back door opens, the wheels roll very easily. love it!

Bought these as a candy holder for a baby boy shower. They were perfect for what I had in mind and they go with the baby theme and colors.

We just got this today, but I have to say that I’m really impressed with it. It’s not too large, so check your dimensions, but it’s very nicely made and appears to be super-sturdy. Simple, sleek and rolls easily, with rubberized wheels – helps cut down on noise with hardwood floors.

This dump truck looks so much cooler than sand box dump trucks. It is a wonderful size! It is big enough to put thing in the back yet small enough to fit on a book self or go in a toy box with many more toys. This truck does dump and the back gate swings open for easy dumping.

The 19-month old girl that was the recipient of this truck had so much fun pushing it around. She was so excited when she saw the truck as she loves the “Blue Truck” books. It it quite durable. The bed of the truck and the tailgate both lift up adding to the fun she is having as she plays with it. It seems like the perfect truck for this toddler.
