A steel ride-on sand digger that turns a backyard sandbox or a stretch of beach into a working excavation site. The seat rotates a full 360 degrees on its base, so a child can swing from the scoop to the dump pile without climbing off. A rubber handle gives easy control of the arm and bucket, building the coordination that plastic scoop toys skip over. A 37-in by 15-in trapezoid base spreads weight wide and keeps the frame planted when a rider leans out over the arm. Rated for 88 lb and sized for ages 4 to 12, the 44-in machine stands 20-in tall. Assembly is required.
