The doors and construction of the truck is durable and easy to handle. There are some small pieces that are only appropriate for the recommended age of 4+ but the truck, cage, canoe and oars will tickle younger kids too.

I received this as a Christmas gift for my 2 1/2 year old son, and he was absolutely crazy about it (Dad drives one just like it). What surprised me was that his 18 month old brother loved it even more, and it’s become his constant companion. It’s really easy for little fingers to open & close the doors and put the figures in and out, and big & bright enough for him to find it easily in the toy box.

The truck comes with about a million really cool little pieces, but for safety sake I took off everything small enough to choke on, before the kids even saw it. I’ll just save all the little bits and pieces in a bag until everyone is old enough to play with them.

I’m ordering a replacement truck now because unfortunately the old one fell off the back of a real pick-up truck and was destroyed. I still gave it 5 stars for durability. A pack of wild toddlers couldn’t break this thing – it took a half ton truck flying down the road at 40 mph to get the better of it.

As the boys get older I will definately pick up more Mighty World play sets for them.
