Review on Matchbox Garbage Truck Amazon Exclusive by Chad Carter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Didn't live up to expectations but a nice toy.

Not impressed. It looks good and has funny sounds. I like the squeak when reversing. But there are things that didn't live up to my expectations: - made of flimsy plastic. It probably won't survive a fall from a ladder or an accidental fall. It's quite difficult to hang the blue trash can on the yellow lift arm. My son has trouble aligning and fastening it which frustrates him. The lift arm can be finicky. Move too fast and it will hit the top and bounce back without opening. Move too slowly and the container will not tip over (it takes some momentum at the top to flip the container). It also frustrates my son when he doesn't get it to fall out properly - the bed doesn't rise very far, so the slope isn't steep enough to throw out the trash. My son has to lift the bed to throw it away, then stick his hand in and take out all the "junk" toys. It's still a fun toy and my son loves it to pieces. I just expected more.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Little things
