Cito Vehicles - Pretty Tough

cito_wooden_dump_truck_360.jpg

While browsing in Geppetto's Toy Box, one of my favorite New York stores, I recently ran across this great line of Cito construction vehicles from Guidecraft. What caught my eye was their natural wood finish and graceful forms. (Really, have you ever seen such a beautiful dump trunk? If only real vehicles had this sense of aesthetic!) I also love their substantial size and the fact that, though attractive, they're also quite rugged. Finally, they come with a lot of bells and whistles - aka they perform many "real-life" truck operations - to keep your little one entertained for precious minutes. (Hey, in my book every second counts!) Choose from dump truck, crane, bulldozer, forklift, or semi with logs. That is, if you can!

Hi, I too fell in love with the Citto trucks and bought two of the cranes for my twin boys. After a month. ballbearings fell out, parts broke, and they slowly but surely feel apart in dangerous ways.
