Classic Toy
"This is a well-made toy that was easy to assemble and is appropriate for a fairly large range of ages. My son has enjoyed it for the 3 months we've had it so far, and his older cousins enjoy it as well. With the tsunami of cheap plastic toys that seems to accompany babies and toddlers, it's refreshing to see a classic, quality toy like this one!"

Vintage Appeal, Quality and Very Fun!
"We ordered this last Christmas for our nephew, who is the only boy in our family so far. The minute we saw it, we knew it was a must order...upon arrival, my husband put it all together so that we could surprise him with it at our Christmas celebration! It's beautifully made, easy to assemble and he's been riding it non-stop for over a year! I would highly recommend their ride-on's....if the firetruck is any indication of how nice they are all put together...don't pass up it up if you're in the market!"

Very Cute
"This is a wonderful toy to display. My son, who got it when he was 2, has played with it some, but he is not a car kid. Some of his friends love it and I love having it around the house because it really looks classic."

So much fun!
"Our almost 2 year old has loved this fire truck for the past year. He rides it all over the house, but we love it because it isn't fast enough to cause any major damage to our walls and doors :) it's adorable!"

Wonderful Gift
"We ordered the fire engine for a newborn that lives thousands of miles away. His parents were thrilled with the gift and it stands as a great accessory to the nursery until the baby is old enough to ride. Quality product, quick delivery, will order from Land of Nod in the future."

Beautiful Fire Truck
"My 18 mo old LOVES his new fire truck. It's a beauty and was not too tough to assemble. It's a nice size for him to sit on and will be easy for him to maneuver outside when the weather warms up. It even stands up to the bigger brothers taking a spin."

Beautiful Ride On Toy
"I love this firetruck so much, I had my son sit on it for our Christmas card last year. It's so adorable and he and my daughter like to play firefighter on it. The bell is a big hit too."

beautiful and fun
"This is a really beautiful fire truck and my son just loves it. It does not fair too well outside as being made from metal it rusts if it gets wet. It is a little low to the ground and hard to maneuver for my 2 year old but it is so beautifully made it that almost makes up for it. I like the fact it makes no noises and plastic."

"I bought this firetruck for my son and for my photography business. It makes a completely adorable prop and such a nostalgic feel. Not the normal plastic you get at other stores. My son loves riding it around and it's very durable. Dual-purpose, love it!"

Best Christmas Gift Ever
"My 2 year old got this for Christmas this year and he uses it daily. He can really get moving! He's taken it inside and outside and on the carport. I haven't noticed any problems with it at all and it looks great! Everone compliments us on it and asks where we got it!!"

So adorable!
"I got this as a gift at my baby shower recently, and it was a huge hit. I had registered for it, so of course I loved it; everyone at the shower thought it was the cutest thing! When we got home, my husband loved it and decided he needed to try it out to "test the quality". He only weighs 160 pounds, and I wouldn't recommend this, but he did manage to ride it around the house and steer it with no problems. I think it will hold up well for our little guy when he can finally use it!"

Great Buy
"Our daughter requested this for a Christmas gift for our grandson. We had already considered buying it, because it looked much nicer than any other ride-on toys we had seen. Shipping was very prompt. Very well made product and at a reasonable price. My husband assembled it very quickly and with no problems. Very pleased with this purchase"

Strong truck, weak steering wheel
"This fire truck has a solid body and is adorable, But.... the steering wheel broke off, renderinging the truck undrivable after about 6 months of use."

We Love It
"We purchased this truck last Christmas for our grandson who turned 2 the February following Christmas. It has always been an inside toy at our house. He tips it on its side and "fixes" it with his tools and batteries (it doesn't need batteries, but he puts them in anyway). It is so classic, and we get many comments and questions about where we got it."

so CUTE! CUTE! CUTE!
"This firetruck is absolutely adorable and very well made. My little boy prefers to push it from the back, rather than ride it. It was a good purchase for Christmas."

Hard to Turn
"We love the look of this truck, and it is very sturdy. However, my son has a hard time turning and steering it, which can cause some frustration."

Cute but..
"My 2 1/2 year old loves fire engines so I bought this to fuel his obession. I had a hard time putting the ladder part together finally I went to my local hardware store and got longer screws. The steering is really tight and my son has a hard time navigating with it. But it's really nicely constructed and takes a lot of abuse."
