Little Tikes Princess Cosy Coupe > Reviews (2)

Very soon after my daughter starting playgroup a couple of the Little Tikes Coupe Cars started appearing - 2 cars, approx 40 children......the maths don't really add up there do they!?!? When my little girl finally got a turn in one, she absolutely loved it and I just knew that it was something I wanted to get her for at home so she could enjoy it more (and not just have a couple of minutes per turn!!)

I bought one of the cars from my catalogue (after months of it being out of stock) so it was a little more expensive than going to a store to buy it, but I managed to get a good offer code so it wasn't that much different. I think it worked out at around £40, which when seeing that the new models are selling for up to £60 it was a good price!

The car is quite a simple design, it is a tall bubble shaped car, with a high pink roof, chunky black wheels and a few stickers on to make it even more appealing. (The stickers really should be put on the car by an adult as they are a little tricky to place and are super sticky!)The car is made from pretty tough durable plastic as is standard with Little Tikes toys, and it can certainly take quite a few bumps!! The wheels are operated by the steering wheel, which isn't a great wheel but it does the job!

There is quite a decent amount of space for the child to sit inside therefore it is quite comfortable for them. There is a door on the side of the car which is on a plastic hinge to make it open and close and this is how the child enters the car. There is no handle though, the child just literaaly pulls the top of the door to open it. To make the car move, the child needs to use their feet - think Flintstones and you have the idea!!

The car doesn't come ready built so you need to make sure you allow a little time to build it, especially if it is a present, but it literally takes minutes and with very little trouble.

My daughter had so much enjoyment from this toy, at just over two and a half when we got it she was still able to use it but she is very tall so this will limit the length of time she can play with it. I love how this car is not only great fun but is fab for development! It encourages imagination - my daughter was forever pretending to be going to Blackburn shopping in it!! It enhances physical development as the child needs to use their feet to move the car. Another good thing about the car is that it helps the childs co-ordination as they have to work out which way to turn the wheel to make the car turn, they need to judge space in order to get the car through areas and also they need to do the two things together - move their feet and steer! A difficult thing for a young child to do at the same time!

I love this car, I think it has been a really fantastic buy and has provided many hours of fun for my little girl. Over a period of 18months this car had shown very little sign of wear and tear and when she had finished with it we were able to pass it on to one of my friends daughters as it was still in such great condition.

Thank you for reading my review.

Highly recommended!!
