Put kids in the driver’s seat of their own construction adventure with the LEGO® Technic™ Backhoe Loader (42197). Designed for boys, girls, and vehicle enthusiasts aged 7 and up, this hands-on building set brings the excitement of a bustling construction site to life. It’s the perfect toy for aspiring builders who love diggers, loaders, and heavy machinery.
This highly detailed backhoe loader model is packed with realistic features to spark imaginative role play. Kids can steer the vehicle into place and lower the outriggers for added stability before diving into their next task. With the turn of a knob, the front scoop lifts and lowers smoothly, ready to tackle any load. Flip to the rear of the vehicle and operate the working backhoe to dig, scoop, and clear the construction site just like a real machine.
Built to mimic the look and movement of authentic construction vehicles, this LEGO Technic model introduces young builders to the mechanics of real-world engineering. It’s an exciting way for kids to learn while they play, building both creativity and confidence.
The set also pairs with the LEGO Builder app for an enhanced building experience. With 3D zoom and rotate features, kids can explore every angle of their model, track progress, and save their creations—all from one intuitive digital tool.
