Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Digging, loading and dumping. Sprig Eco-Trucks are fully equipped with flip-open cabs and easy-grab handles, making each freewheeling vehicle inviting and a cinch to maneuver. The Dump Truck gets the job done with its tilting cab, locking bed and swing-out tailgate.
All Sprig Toys are made from Sprigwood, a child-safe bio-composite of recycled wood and reclaimed plastic that has visible wood "flecks" and gives the toys a soft wood scent.
The playful, cartoon-like designs of the chunky vehicles make them irresistible to preschoolers, and parents love the eco-friendly, battery-free, kid-powered construction. Suitable for indoor and outdoor play.
Also available from Sprig Eco Trucks - the Digger and the Loader. For ages 3 years and over.
For more Sprig eco-friendly fun, look out for the Sprig Hollow range and Sprig Adventures range with non-electronic and electronic (battery free) play.

This truck is recommended for 3 and above (the small parts thing!), although I can't see any small parts that are a risk really. My 18 month old is digger/truck mad and he loves this! It traverses our living room, the garden, the sand pit, the bath, but I draw the line at bed (well, he has taken it in once!).
The truck is light to handle (but it isn't flimsy), making it great for the younger ones. It has a locking mechanism to keep the back from tipping it's load (my son can almost use this, but not quite yet). It's large enough for him to put things in and he does, and proceeds to drive it around the house. The wheels spin freely and it travels a long distance when pushed. The cabin flips open to access space for 'people' to drive the truck, however Sprig don't make any people that fit (a surprise really since it looks like people were designed to go in, but I've contacted them and there aren't any). The handle on the top make it easy for my son and me to carry at around- great when I've got toddler and truck heading up for bath up the stairs. There is a 'door' at the back of the truck that you can open to let the load out when tipping. My 18 month old can do this with ease.
The material it is made of in supposed to be a recycled-plastic/composite wood which feels nice to touch and there is a nice smell to it (smells to me like a mix of talcum powder and a forest), but the smell is subtle- it doesn't smell in the room- you only notice it if you get up close to it with your nose in the sand-pit! The yellow is clearly 'digger/truck' yellow without being glossy and 'super' yellow. There are some 'speckles' in the material which I guess are part of the recycled/wooden nature of it- subtle and don't detract from the truck. I much prefer it- a bit gentler on the eye.
Another great point is the packaging- almost none of it (maybe some people like things to come in a big box), but this comes with a piece of recycled cardboard that clips over the wheels, which comes off easily and you are ready to go (much better than a bunch of high street brands with a million plastic ties that are a serious small parts/child health hazard.
We also have the digger and I'm so happy with them we will get the loader as well.

great quality and just right size for little hands (approx 30cm long). no batteries, no noises, no flashing lights - fabulous!
smells of wood like they say, and nice to know it's made of recycled stuff.
great value.

Bought this as along with the excavator for my son to take to the beach or his sand pit as they are very very durable and take a lot of stick from my 3yr old. They happliy deal with the abuse and sit in the rain till better weather and a trip out with my lad. would recommend these toys as disposable as they are fully recycled materials and not to expensive to replace if your kids manage to break them. I would purchase the same again if ours break.

Lovely, well-made ethical toy
My son and his cousin both loved this truck on the beach this summer. It is very strong and well-made and the handle is great for little hands.
