The bucket is the point, and it is properly controlled. A handle beside the seat adjusts both the height and the angle of the arm, so a child scoops, lifts and tips rather than pushing a fixed scoop along the ground. Driving is separate from digging: a forward and backward lever, a steering wheel and a foot pedal. A parent has a remote alongside, and a slow-start function stops the machine lurching when the pedal goes down. The body runs 49 inches long on a 20-inch width, which is a long, low proportion that suits the excavator shape, and it weighs 27.5 pounds with a 66-pound capacity for ages 3 to 8. Speed is 1.9 to 5 miles per hour on a 12V 7Ah battery, charging in 8 to 12 hours. Anti-slip, wear-resistant wheels cope with brick, cement, wood floors and asphalt, which covers most of where a child will actually dig. The seat is wide with a proper backrest and footrests, and a headlight, horn, USB and wireless connection fill out the panel. ASTM and CPSIA certified. A remote, charger and instructions come in the box. Key Features Specifications Note: Actual product color may vary slightly from the images due to lighting and display settings.
