Big kids know the CATERPILLAR brand when they look at the twin Diesel engines in their yachts, but why wait?
A genuine authorized product from CAT is a plastic toddler's ride-on foot to floor truck with front dumper bucket.
CAT DumperBaby has the characteristic construction yellow with black and CAT logo decals for the side.
Four black rubber covered yellow wheels are a lot quieter than the big versions but a squeaker horn is standard equipment.
The bucket locates into hinge pins at the front end for dumptruck like action with a latching catch at the rear.
Besides the obvious dump bucket there is a small storage well under the hinged bucket.
A clevis hitch is present if you can find an appropriate towable.
The steering has kingpins and tie rod with Ackerman geometry for no-scrub ease of use.
The age range is 12 months to 3 years or 75 lb., and the warranty is even longer at a full three years (residential).
Cat DumperBaby foot to floor: $89 Delivered. (KT132249)

limit the turning radius.

The Radio Flyer #60 Retro Rocket is a bright red throwback to the
earliest days of rocket exploration. The cool retro styling combined with
several interesting features makes fun for the ten months to
three year old child on the 8" high seat.

the wheels or turning the white nose cone. There are button-activated
sounds on the console too. The four non-steered black
tires on white plastic wheels are
5" in diameter.
The 27" body with red enameled steel is silk screened with white
accents plus black, white and metal colored trim.
