As soon as my kids caught sight of the Rubble Rescue Truck they screamed “Rubble!” and were climbing over one another to get their hands on it. The truck is heavier than it looks, and appears to be well put together. Some nice details that really make the truck come alive include decals, painted lights and eye catching shiny vertical exhaust stacks. The bright yellow is easy to spot which will come in handy when my kids want to play with the truck but forget where they left it last.
The truck comes with a Rubble figure and there’s a spot for him up front in the truck’s cab. The roof of the cab flips up and can be held open with just one finger; making it a breeze to get Rubble in or out. What's cool about the roof, is it works on a hinge that springs shut automatically when the finger holding it open is removed. There’s NO latch or hooking mechanism for little ones to struggle with; my two-year-old was able to operate it smoothly from the get go.
What makes this truck stand out is the trailer or rather what’s inside the trailer. Lifting the trailer top reveals a fully functioning construction crane mounted on a base that freely rotates 360 degrees. There’s even a spot for a figure to sit at the controls. At full height the crane is six inches above the ground with a 3-inch jib supporting a hook. The jib can freely spin in all directions and tilts up and down roughly 30 degrees. The oversized hook is easy for small hands to manipulate.
My kids played with this truck inside the house and in the backyard where it rolled along rough and bumpy terrain and was dropped a few times without scratching or any visible damage. The kids enjoy opening and closing both the roof and trailer and especially hooking up and lifting smaller cars and obstacles with the crane. Definitely gave them a fine motor skills workout!
My three-year-old insisted on sleeping with the truck that night and was off discovering more things to move with the crane the very next day.
Both my kids loved the Rubble Rescue Truck and we would highly recommend it to any young Paw Patrol fans!

The kids were excited to play with this toy and continue to play with it every day since we received it two weeks ago.
Ready to go right out of the box and easily maneuvered by small hands. The wide tires keep the bike upright at all times. A Large front tire, is easily gripped when transforming the bike into trike mode There is a chance of fingers being pinched by the back tire when transforming between trike and bike modes.
When pushed it smoothly rolls forwards and backwards. Pulling back, with only a little effort will wind the toy. When released, it speeds away faster and much farther than expected much to everyone's delight. We drove it along the floor, carpet and even the grass outside with no problems.
Wild Cat figure looks great and easily pops on and off the bike.
Wild Cat’s Transforming Motorcycle will come to the rescue saving kids from boredom. We will definitely be purchasing the other toy vehicles in this set.
