Best toy trailers rated
As adults, we no longer pay attention to the 'details' such as truck and trailers on the road. It's just part of everyday life.
But for children, such 'details' are still new and exciting!
Playing with toy trucks is a great way for kids to act out the situations they so enthusiastically watch from the window in the back seat.
Let's discuss with you the best toy trailers we've found.
Best toy trailer made of wood: Melissa & Doug Wooden Car trailer
Your child can play to your heart's content with this Melissa & Doug Wooden Car trailer.
There are four colorful cars, which must be transported at the same time.
You can move the crane of the trailer and it has a magnet to pick up the cars for loading the vehicles. This gives a lot of fun.
This car transport trolley is specially made for transporting the supplied cars, but you can of course also load your other cars on it, just as fun!
And he works well with other magnetic toys that I wrote about before to pick up blocks or building pieces or other cars.
I just thought that the magnet was just not strong enough for the cars, which can sometimes be a bit frustrating for a small child because it does not work properly.
So maybe more fun for a toddler than a toddler, or at least slightly older than 3 I would say.

The detailed SIKU Trailer with excavator is suitable for children from 5 years old and is really a beautiful truck with trailer and so actually two cars in one!
We sometimes see them on the highway and then all the kids – and sometimes parents too – turn their heads and shout enthusiastically 'Look, there's a excavator on that truck, wow!!'
We therefore thought it was a good number 2! An interesting detail, the truck is made entirely of zinc.
This SIKU Semi-trailer with 'low-loader' is quite a special appearance among trucks with semi-trailer. This truck - and the excavator - are manufactured with great precision.
SIKU trucks are made of zinc and meet the highest quality and safety requirements. They provide a lot of safe fun for children and they are beautiful.

A dream for every trucker-to-be, and there are 2 large cars that also have a very nice size to play with.
My son had seen this for the first time at the daycare and was already crazy about it at 2 years old, so you don't necessarily have to wait until 3 years.
It is so sturdy that they can even sit on it, although it keeps that easy in our case it may not be advisable so I do not, but children will always remain children of course.

A truck can make a boy very happy, like a doll can make a girl.

Trucks are simply impressive, for all children, just like garbage trucks, cranes and trains that run on the track.

Why do kids like trucks, fire trucks and other large trailer vehicles?
Young children simply love imaginative play. While playing with these toys, they imagine they are a construction worker, truck driver or firefighter.
When they see them on the street, it is almost impossible to pull them away.
However, our parents do not allow them to come too close to real trucks and trucks. We don't think that's safe, and rightly so.
With toy trucks, the little ones can still play with them in a child's size and thus satisfy their great interest.
They especially like toys with movable parts. These vehicles usually have large wheels, sometimes ladders, sometimes fire hoses and they often actually work.
Digging and building, which sometimes also takes place near trucks with trailers, is often also very attractive for children.
They learn to be constructive and sensory in this way, and can completely imitate the adult world, especially if they playing outside in the sand.

Better vocabulary and development of fine motor skills
Children often quickly learn the names of different types of trucks, such as 'dump truck', 'car trailer', 'lift truck', and they learn new words about truck parts.
Many children enjoy learning and repeating this specific vocabulary; 'look mum a truck with containers'.
Learning words that they are interested in also help children gain confidence in language and reading. After all, their vocabulary is increasing rapidly.
Young, but also older children love this kind of toy; little ones because they put their fine motor skills to the test and be able to perform a wonderful fantasy play.
The older children because they may already be interested in certain vehicles and professions.
Playing with trucks and other vehicles improves the motor skills of every child.
For example, the little ones who play with vehicles put cars on a trailer, fetch blocks from the bed and these actions are not only good for hand-eye coordination, but also for fine motor skills.
Only advantages: let your child play with trucks and trailers. Whether young or old, boy or girl, there is the perfect toy trailer for every child.
Parking garages also capture the imagination of most children! Find the best toy parking garage here: a top 11 from wood to electronic.
