 It doesn't matter how great the idea is if the execution is CRAP! Jun 08, 2009
By Homestead Mommy
My son is obsessed with forklifts. Evertime we go to the store he listens for the beeping of the forklift and then we have to go look for it and watch it for forever. I thought he would love to have a forklift of his very own. Since we are trying to stay away from wood toys, I bought this one. It looked durable and fun with the little guy and a pallet with blocks to lift up and down.
We got the forklift and I opened the box up and you have to attach the front part of the forklift (the fork part that goes up and down) with this crappy peg that fits in a hole. Thats it!!! No screws, or anything. So of course the pegs keep coming out of the holes. Next, the crank you turn to make the forks go up and down broke, within 5 minutes of playing and I was the one playing so I know I was being very careful. Imagine what would happen if kids were to play with it...how long would it last then.
I am very disappointed in this toy. I was so happy to get it and then it broke so fast. I'm sending it back and getting Guidecraft's forklift. Guidecraft CITO Forklift with Pallet It's a little more expensive, but I want a toy that will last through ALL of my kids and be fun and durable to play with.

 We love Plan Toys! Oct 28, 2007
By Kitrino
We are big fans of Plan Toys. They are made in Thailand of wood from rubber trees that are no longer producing latex and would be cut down anyways. The wood is minimally treated and painted with non-toxic paints and finishes. And all the designs are just adorable. This forklift is no exception. We especially love how it comes with a driver and three boxes to lift. And Amazon's price is by far the best.

 not terribly impressed Apr 22, 2010
By E. Fuller
My 3 year old got this toy as a gift. He plays with it and seems to enjoy it but overall I am not impressed with this toy...
- The forklift angles down slightly meaning that things tend to slide off it really easily, especially when moving the vehicle around.
- The little man does not fit into the vehicle very well. My son gets very frustrated trying to get him in (the space is a little small for such a long person and requires more dexterity than most 3 year olds would have) and then once he is in he doesn't stay put.
- The durability is generally ok (the vehicle has stood up to some tosses when my son got frustrated (see above)) but the workmanship was not what I would have expected from plan toys (or from the price). On the first day the little man's foot came unglued as well as another small (and seemingly insignificant) part on the forklift.

Adorable toy, broke instantly. Jan 21, 2009
By Julie Falatko
"jfalatko"
This is the cutest forklift. Unfortunately, it is not at all durable. We ordered one, and the forklift part on the front broke off within 10 minutes of play. So we figured it was a fluke, and ordered another. That one broke within 30 seconds. It's such a shame because it really is cute, and my son loved it for the extremely brief moment he was able to play with it.
We have other Plan Toys trucks that are fine, but we also had a batch of roadway vehicles that broke in half very easily (we reordered those, and the replacements were fine). So beware of Plan Toys unless you're ok sending it back if it breaks. It would be sad to get it for a birthday and have it break before the party was even over.
Great toy Nov 08, 2012
By Edith
This is a sturdy, well made toy. We have other toys by this company and were sure we would be happy with this one as well.
