Poor fit
The magnetic lift arm does not stay in the hole on the cab. The part that fits in the hole is much smaller than the hole itself...

Disappointed
The stick with the magnet broke on the first use! It snapped right off unfortunately. The rest of the truck seems sturdy though, but we can’t use it for its intended purpose

Poor magnet quality
We usually love Melissa and Doug toys for their quality but this item was a dud! The magnet is too weak to hold the car and became a real problem for kiddo wanting to play with their crane truck on Christmas morning.

Perfect for Toddler who LOVES trucks and cars
Purchased this for the 2 yr old son of a visiting friend. He loved playing with it inside and out. The magnetic lift was fascinating to him and also easy for him to use. And four cars to boot!

Yes
Gift for 2 year old grandson. He loves it and caught on how to use the magnet to take the cars on and off in a flash. On a side note the cars work with the Brio train tracks too.
