Toy trucks and trailers make perfects gifts for many different reasons. For starters, they are large and have wheels. Although this may sound simple it is actually very important. Many toy cars are small and are not capable of traversing rough terrain such as grass , gravel, and sand. Would a little boy want to play anywhere else? Most toy trucks can handle most of these rougher outdoor environments which will allow them to be taken and played with anywhere the child pleases. In addition to their ability to be played with on rougher outdoor terrain, toy trucks and trailers tend to be quite a bit larger than standard toy cars which reduces the chance of them getting lost or misplaced. It can get very frustrating as a parent to buy several small toy cars only to have them disappear shortly after purchase. This is less likely to happen with a toy truck and/or trailer. And since it will not me misplaced quite to easily he will be able to spend more time playing with it. This will allow the child to form a bond with his "favorite" toy which can last for many years to come.

When it comes to the difference between toy trucks and toy cars, there is also another thing that stands out between the two.

He may also learn the value of taking care of possessions and not simply throwing them to the side when something new comes along.

In regards to Mattel and China, do you think Mattel owes China a bigger apology for scapegoating them?

Or, if you have different opinions, please share them with as little bias as possible and with at the very least, some sort of proof supporting your opinion even if it's something as unreliable* as wikipedia.
*It is unreliable because it is composed of entries by regular people. In articles about current events, some crucial information may be misplaced, or the general tone of the article is written with bias. I have nothing against wikipedia except for this fact.
China provides the goods and yes, it was their fault for having lead paint on the products. However, by generalizing the harm caused by China and just refering the specific manufacturers who did the fault as "China" you are harming its reputation as a whole. If America was slandered by some country, surely you'd want some sort of apology from the offending country?

I would like to see that one... Since when has the corporate america ever apologized for its over seas actions - Remember DuPont in India back when (fertalizer)...
