 Chuck My Talking Truck knows over 40 spoken phrases and sounds!View larger. |
Chuck My Talking Truck has plenty of things to say and places to go. His 40 plus phrases and sounds make each playtime a new adventure for your toddler. When your child calls Chuck from across the room the fun-loving dump truck starts up right up and chugs his way over to your child. His cartoonish features are silly, fun, and inviting, and with four different touch sensors he starts up easily for younger children still improving their eye-and-hand coordination.
Though Chuck does come when called, be careful to use him away from the television or radio. His sensors may get confused with extra voices, causing him to keep driving when he hasn't been directly spoken to.
Cartoonish Features and Interactive Play for Your Toddler
Chuck My Talking Truck will keep your toddler guessing with talk, movement, and sounds. Toddlers can help load Chuck up with stuff to take to the "dump," and help him unload when they've made it across the room together. There are plenty of dump truck adventures to be had with Chuck's versatile actions and sounds. Chuck's body is also made of soft rubber that will not hurt toddlers in collisions.

Lost interest very soon
This truck seems to be very well constructed, but since new it never activated with voice. I didn't return it becouse my two year old boy seemed to like it anyway, but he completly lost interest after a couple weeks. Maybe it would kept his interest longer if the voice activation function worked.
The best and least educational toy for your toddler :P
My son is obsessed with this thing. Personally I think it's borderline obnoxious, but if it keeps my kid happy then I'm happy. We have a book with construction site images, and several different machines one of which is a dump truck. We no longer get through it because as soon as we get to the dump truck he is reminded of Chuck and runs to get him. I didn't even realize that Chuck WAS a dump truck until my son did this in the middle of our book reading. I later realized one of Chuck's phrases is "I'm a dump truck." I'm almost surprised my son can understand it because Chuck talks in an odd accent that almost sounds southern. Chuck conveniently comes with a book that includes all his friends such as Boomer, Tucker, etc. I am certain this is a ploy by the toy company to get you to buy more trucks because upon reading the book it's obvious that if my kid were a little older he'd be begging for the other trucks as well. Hence, I find myself on Amazon about to buy Tucker or Boomer or whatever and I thought I'd rate Chuck while I'm at it. Pure marketing genius on behalf of Playskool.
Chuck can be obnoxious, and he's not educational at ALL. Chuck is pure Kid Crack. But hey, we all need our fixes now and then right?!
My kids love this
I bought this for my son for Christmas and he loves it. I only wish it said more things as my son makes it go constantly and that makes him talk so I hear the same thing over and over, but at least he doesn't mind.
nephew's new fav
I am a teacher at a private preschool and this happened to be one of the popular toys. So, I bought this toy for my nephew and he absolutely loved it!
Christmas present
I bought this truck for my 1 1/2 yr.old Grandson. He was a little scared of it at first then loved it.
