Funrise Toys ~ Tonka Strong Arm Fire Truck Review & Giveaway ~ CLOSED

     I remember Tonka making great trucks when I was little.  My brother had a Tonka Dump Truck and I always wanted to play with it.  Last Christmas my mom was looking to get one for Jayden too.  Tonka makes good sturdy toys that last for years.  Recently I came across the Funrise Tonka Strong Arm Vehicles.
     The Tonka Strong Arm Vehicles are the perfect size for toddlers and preschoolers.  They are sturdy trucks that are 100% Kid powered.  I think we have so many toys now that are battery powered it is nice to see something that allows for Kids to do it themselves.
     I was sent the Tonka Strong Arm Fire Truck to review.  The day we got home and it was sitting outside our door I just knew Jayden would be happy.  We walked in as Jayden talked to my mom on the phone.  I opened the box and as soon as he saw the truck he said, "here mama!" and gave me the phone.  Now if you know Jayden you know he doesn't give up the phone easily.  I had to remove it from the box immediately, which by the way was pretty simple.  Not lots of crazy wires to get it out.  Funrise has added Easy Lock, with one turn of the lock on the bottom, the vehicle is released from the packaging.  And Jayden jumped right into playing with it.  He pushed it around the kitchen and kept telling me, "a fire truck mama, a fire truck."
     I showed him how the strong arm worked.  It has 2 different opertaions.  You just pull the handle back and it makes the sound of a fire truck and has sparks in the little window.  If you hold both the handle and the lever and pull it down then the ladder will go up.  All the rest of the action is powered by the child.  The strong arm is easy to use.  Jayden can do it on his own.  The second handle that you hold to lift the ladder is a little harder for him.
     I have to say that Jayen LOVES this fire truck.  When John got home from work he picked it up and ran to him to tell him, "look daddy a fire truck, I got a fire truck."  At dinner he had to have it on the table.. and he kept reaching out to touch it.  It was almost as if he had to touch it to be sure it was real.  He hasn't stopped playing with it since.  He even followed my brother in law around showing it to him when he got home that night.


     In addition to the Strong Arm Fire Truck, Funrise Toys also has Tonka Strong Arm Bulldozer, Tonka Strong Arm Dump Truck, Tonka Strong Arm Garbage Truck, and Tonka Strong Arm Mighty Fire Engine.  I think any of these would make great Christmas gifts for boys or girls.  I am thinking about getting the Garbage Truck for Jayden, he LOVES to see the trash man when he comes.  Then he would have his two favorite trucks.
