I decided to put this site together because every Wednesday morning, at about 6:00AM, our garbage is collected.  And for the last three years, since my son was about 12 months, we have scrambled out of bed and run to watch him pick up our garbage can and dump it into the truck!  My son absolutely, positively loves garbage trucks, and has no less than 5 of them.  We even built him a custom out of cardboard for Halloween last year.

A Short Guide to Buying a Garbage Truck for Your Little One

Most children love to stand at the window and watch in amazement as their neighborhood garbage truck comes around the corner to pick up their garbage. They love to see how it functions as their garbage just disappears. One great way to give them a similar experience is to buy them their own truck. Here are some ideas on how to pick the best one.

The first thing you will want to take into consideration is the child's age. Picking an age appropriate toy is very important. A toy for an 8 year old may come with smaller parts that a 2 year old would put in their mouth and possibly choke on. So first be sure to look that the toy is right for their age. A good one for a 2-4 year old generally comes with a larger truck that may make noise like a real truck or even a toy driver they can put in the truck and take out.

For those who are looking for a toy for an older child there are several different varieties. One popular choice is a LEGO garbage truck children can actually take apart and put back together.

These toys can do a variety of different functions now compared to the ones of past years. Many of them feature special buttons that the child can press that will send out a sound that is supposed to sound similar to real garbage trucks. There are also special garbage truck toys that have actual lifts. Your child will be thrilled to put the toy garbage in the lift and watch as it goes up and empties into the bed of the truck.

Shoppers can find garbage truck toys in a number of different sizes. There are some that are smaller and easy to carry to larger styles that the child will enjoy getting on the floor and play with. The larger styles are very popular amongst toddlers and older babies as it more on their level. No matter what type you choose, your child will excited to play with their very own garbage truck toy.

A whole fleet!  Wow!
