The Backhoe Loader is a ride on tractor with the silhouette of a working construction vehicle, scaled down for the playground — a START button and gear switch turn the lawn into a building site, and that's the whole point. It's the model in the lineup for the kid who'd rather move dirt than drive in circles.
The driving routine is simple and fun: the child sits in, presses the START button, picks direction and speed on a switch, and presses the pedal. Two gears with two speed modes match pace to the place. A plastic seat and plastic-with-rubber-strip wheels make the build sturdy and easy to wipe down — important when the construction game spills off the lawn.
There is no parental remote, so the child does all the driving, and that suits a kid who likes to be the boss of the site. Best on a lawn, in the backyard or on a flat playground, with a parent close by.
