Bruder MACK Garbage Truck

My son's face lit up when he spotted the colored dustbins on the side—he's spent hours loading them into the hopper and working the tilting bonnet to check the "engine." The foldable mirrors are a nice touch that makes it feel like a real rig on our driveway.

My five-year-old loves the tilting engine bonnet on this truck – it makes him feel like a real mechanic checking the engine. We also get a kick out of watching the lift actually empty the included dustbins, which is way more interactive than I expected for a toy truck.

The doors on the cab open and the engine bonnet tilts, which is nice, but the plastic feels a bit flimsy for the price. My kid enjoys the colored dustbins, though one of the mirrors fell off after a few days of play.
