Mega Bloks Cat 3 - In - 1 Ride - On Dump Truck

Product Description

It's a ride-on, block set and building platform, all in one! The CAT Jr. Ride-On Dump Truck comes with a dumping bin, working horn, gearshifts, oversized wheels and authentic "big truck" sounds. Kids can hop on for a ride, or push it along. Includes 10 Maxi blocks. Requires 3 "AA" batteries, included. Measures 24"L x 8.5"W x 15"H. Holds up to 55 pounds.

Amazon.com Product Description

With realistic truck sounds and building blocks, the 3-in-1 Ride On Dump Truck makes working fun. Toddlers will have a blast scooping up toy bricks and small toys, dumping them out of the dump bed, and driving a vehicle for the very first time. Recommended for children from one to three years old, this dump truck helps young ones transition from crawling, to walking, to riding!



Toddlers can ride the Ride-On Dump Truck when the truck bed is lifted up. View larger. View in riding mode.

What We Think


Fun Factor:

Durability:

(what this means)

The Good: Fun building, dumping, and sound effects

The Bad: Truck doesn't dump on its own

In a Nutshell: Designed to work with crawling, walking, standing, or riding

At a Glance

Ages: 1 to 3 years old
Requires: 3 AA batteries
Ride, Dump, and Build with Blocks
Perfectly built for little bodies, the 3-in-1 Ride-On Dump Truck is the right height for kids who still spend much of their time crawling and playing on the floor. Toddlers can easily roll the dump truck around with them as they walk or stand, supported by the ergonomic handle on the dump bed. With the truck bed up, kids can ride the truck facing forward with their hands low on the steering wheel, or with their hands higher on the dump handle. Although the truck doesn't unload on its own, the light truck bed lifts up and slides back easily. Made from tough, durable plastic with safe, rounded edges, this Caterpillar brand dump truck holds up to long days of play. Like the real thing, this truck stands out with a bright yellow and black design. The 10 included Maxi Mega Blocks attach to each other for fun building and connect to spots in the dump bed, to the left and right of the truck, and on the steering wheel. The same color as the steering wheel and its buttons, these blocks are red, black, and gray.

Realistic Dump Truck Sounds
As exciting as the building and dumping action are the fun sound effects the truck makes. Turning on this dump truck, kids are immediately transported to the sounds of a construction site. By pushing one of three buttons on the steering wheel, the driver hears the truck's engine starting up and blowing exhaust, the truck's horn honking, or the truck dumping. The truck creates engine sounds when pushed forward; rolled backward, it beeps to make sure no one's in the truck's blind spots. Whether or not construction sounds are a part of your daily life, the toy's realistic noises can grow a little tiresome. Thankfully, the toy doesn't have to be turned on to be played with and comes completely assembled. While this dump truck is too heavy for children to pick up, its design is compact enough for parents to move it with one hand from one room to the next, or quickly pack it in the back seat of the car. What's more, the 3-in-1 Ride-On Dump Truck is compatible with standard Maxi Bloks, allowing young ones to make even bigger and better creations.



  • 3-in1 play pattern
  • Push-behind walker
  • Compatibility with all Mega Bloks Maxi Blocks
  • Great for polishing fine motor skills and distinguishing colors and shapes
  • Stimulates imagination and discovery of shapes, colors and sizes

I love the look of this toy. I purchased it for my godson (just turned one) who is a strong walker and typical tough boy. It looks cute as anything and I have been happy w/ all of my son's (2 yrs old), "CAT" tractors, trucks etc. I wanted to have the cool "big boy" present, unfortunately it doesn't hold up to a boy's love, The dump truck bed continues to fall off, which makes it easier to ride but a pain for mom and dad to put on all of the time. I expected much better quality. I wouldn't buy it again.

My parents got this for my son when he turned 1 a few weeks ago. It was immediately a HUGE hit. We set it up in walk-behind mode, and this is his favorite toy. He'd walk behind it, then sometimes go to the front to hit the buttons, then back to the back, etc...

2 days ago, we were showing somebody that it turns into a real dump truck as well, so for the first time ever, we unclipped the truck bed, and turned it into a proper dump truck. When we tried to set it up again in walk behind mode, the truck bed would clip, but immediately unclip. 5 of us tried for about 45 minutes to get the truck bed to stay, and it wouldn't. The way we ended up getting it to stay? Duct tape.

I emailed Mega Brands about this problem, and at my expense if I ship this one back, they'll send me a new one. Since shipping is about as much as the toy itself since it's so big, I passed, but I'm warning everybody that although this is a great toy, it's extremely poorly made. Now I... Read more

This review is from: Mega Bloks Cat 3 - In - 1 Ride - On Dump Truck (Toy)
I bought this for my son for his 1st birthday. He loves this toy! He's now 14-1/2 months old, and he's learning about the "noise" buttons, so it's excitement has been renewed in our household. He's also just now able to get on and off by himself, and figuring out how to ride it on his own. This toy really does "grow" with our son. We can't wait for him to start hauling things around in the bed of the truck! I did notice that we have had to re-attach the bed 3-4 times, as it does snap off easily. But, I still think it is pretty well worth it for the enjoyment that our son has gotten from this toy. I would definitely buy it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great push trike; better safety features, March 19, 2011

This review is from: Little Tikes 3 in 1 Trike Purple (Toy)
My 15 month old daughter loves this trike! She cried when our walk was over because she didn't want to get off of it. I have no problem with the steering- it can swerve slightly when going straight, but not enough to matter, and it turns well. It took her dad only a half hour or so to put together. I like the adjustable height of the parent push handle, since I am short but her dad is tall. The only thing I don't like is the shoulder harness- I can't adjust it quite right, so the straps are on the outer edge of my daughter's shoulders and sometimes one slips down. But she still stays on fine, and the separate waist buckle works well.

Before buying I looked at this push trike and the different Smart Trike models. After seeing them in person, I narrowed it down to this or the Smart Trike Zoo Gala (a deluxe model)- the lower-end Smart Trikes are more flimsy plastic and seemed cheaply made; these were both sturdy. I compared features and ultimately found this Little Tikes... Read more

This review is from: Little Tikes 3 in 1 Trike Purple (Toy)
Both my little girls (ages 2 & 10 months) love this trike. It is easy to push and steer. We get lots of fun comments when we are out walking with it. I know we will be able to use this for many years. My 2 year old can NOT reach the pedals yet, but she is on the small side for her age, only 34in and 24lbs.

We've had this about a month and the frame is already scratched up a bit. The finish on the metal parts is a bit thin. Other than that we are very happy with the purchase.

For the most part it is great..Have 2 issues with it. 1st the "canopy" can be adjusted in any direction which would make you think it would be great...uh not so much. With a very light breeze the canopy goes eveywhere..pretty much a nightmare. 2nd issue is the parent handle. It is very difficult to manuever without feeling like you are going to break the bar.Minus these two issues it is really cool. I get comments everytime I take my daughter out on it. She loves this trike.My daughter just turned one and it is perfect for her at stage1.
