Grand Slam Home Run - 3 year old grandson LOVES them - safe, strong and no small dangerous parts

I bought this set of 4 vehicles for my grandson's 3rd birthday. Unlike a battery or rechargeable toy, they do NOT require any additional power source other than their own "friction ability" (i.e. a child's power). I am very impressed with the quality of these four click to play vehicles. They are made of light colored, thick and smooth plastic, the machines have rounded corners and the moving parts have NO sharp edges to avoid hurting the child. Also, NO small parts come loose from the vehicles and all 'little' drivers in plastic vehicles are safe as they remain potted in the plastic vehicles. I can't find a single stitch in our set of four to come undone, so these little vehicles are durable for normal child play. Each measurement of these vehicles is 3 1/2 to 6 1/2 inches long and approximately 3 inches high and this does NOT include the additional height of the moving parts. The wheels are an important part and each is made of molded plastic about ยฝ inch thick and is rigidly connected to its axles inside the molded vehicle. Therefore, there is NO risk of these wheels falling off during normal child play. The wheels move very smoothly and with the same precision as other wheels in the same small car. Vehicles remain upright and will NOT roll or fall over when driving over floors and carpets. The molded plastic tires are relatively quiet, pick up a lot of speed on our floor tiles, and even work well on low-pile carpets. The set contains the following pioneer vehicles: 1. A mobile gondola car is attached to the rear of the tractor, which "swingsโ€ behind the tractor on its own two wheels.2. A segmented crane is attached to the rear of the bulldozer, and the segments move up and down at different angles. In addition, a segmented shovel is attached to the front, which also moves up and down in different positions.3. A small dump truck is raised, lowered and tipped backwards to shake out its "imaginary" dirt and rocks.4. The concrete mixer also has a moving part, a round tube at the back raises, lowers and tilts the mixer to pour the "mock" cement. NO annoying music and NO other noises that require volume adjustment. I love toys that work with "friction force" because I don't have to worry about constant battery power and NO limited batteries. This is a great gift choice for a young child interested in playing with small cars and trucks. These well-made plastic vehicles are durable for normal child play, the moving parts are NOT disassembled, eliminating individual small parts that could pose a choking hazard.
