zoom zoom, watch out theres a little tike about

Advantages: robust
Disadvantages: none

...Zoom zoom zoom watch out here comes that little tike he nearly knocked you over on the school playground. Little tikes cosy coupe cars have been around in school playgrounds for years. The company was founded in 1970. About the same time as I began my career in childcare. I think the cosy coupe has been around for nearly that long, as I seem to recall children playing with them forever. The cosy coupe is a red car with a yellow roof. This car is for 1 only, no passenger seat. It is foot powered not pedal powered. The child sits in it and scoots the car around. Access is on one side it has a door that opens. At school we have the older basic version there is a new model. Lots of info at www.littletikes.com. The new model has a higher back and an ignition switch also a petrol tank with a lid that opens and closes...

Review of Little Tikes Cosy Coupe

Little Tikes Heaven

Advantages: Great for smaller children
Disadvantages: They'll need a lot of pushing about before they get the idea

...I love Little Tikes toys. If I had my way, I would have a little village in my garden, made up of the Little Tikes playhouses; the country cottage, log cabin and patio playhouse (to name but a few). There would be half a dozen cozy coupes, plus the police car variant and the monster truck, as well as a dinky little petrol station. It would look great with all those bright primary colours and would last for ages and ages. Kids would come to play in my garden from miles around, there?d be milk and cookies and the sun would always shine???......Hmmmm. Got a little carried away there, wot. Hey, you kids, SCAT! As I was saying??I am a great fan of Little Tikes toys. You know, the ubiquitous red and yellow bubble shaped car that you push along with your feet and the tough but imaginative playhouses which are a feature of any...

Review of Little Tikes Cozy Push & Ride Car

Little Tikes Grande Coupe - the Cosy's Cousin....

Advantages: High quality, durable, popular
Disadvantages: Constructing the wheels requires serious muscle

...We bought the grande coupe car for my 22 month old as the legendary cosy coupe was a firm favourite from my childhood in the early 80s. It is suitable up to 5 years. Although oddly the little tikes official website gives the measurements exactly the same as the cosy coupe I know from owning this car the grand coupe is slightly wider and higher. I remember myself playing in the cosy coupe when I was little and desperately trying to squish in! My daughter is fairly tall for her age and I didn't want this to outgrow her quickly. To give you an idea of how roomy it is two 22 month olds can sit together (one on a lap) which is essential to avoid fights breaking out... Although slightly more expensive and roomy, the grande coupe is similar to the cosy - it has a horn and an ignition plus a petrol cap. It also has a boot at the back to...

Review of Little Tikes Grande Coupe Car

a fabulous little car

Advantages: good value for money, sturdy, attractive, safe, easy to clean, lasts for years
Disadvantages: can be difficult to store

... Little Tikes Cosy Coupe Having helped in nurseries from about 12 years old I have always seen the enjoyment children get out of this toy (as well as the fights for whos turn it is!). I also remember these being around when I was little in childrens indoor play areas. The Little Tikes Cosy Coupe that we own, initially came from my mums nursery which she had to close when she fell pregnant with my brother in 1999. Various toys and equipment got sold and donated but a few things were kept for my baby brother and this car was one of them. What is it? The Little Tikes Cosy Coupe is a 3 ½ ft tall brightly coloured plastic car which one child can sit in and use their feet to push forwards and backwards. The car has a red body with a yellow roof and has one working door on the lefthand side which enables the child...

Review of Little Tikes Cosy Coupe

great little runaround

Advantages: great fun and easy to ride
Disadvantages: none that i can think of

...My two boys kept trying to sit and ride on my seven year old daughters barbie cars so i decided to buy them both a coupe car. These cars have been around for many years now and are still as popular with the little ones now as they were when they were first brought out. These coupe cars are great fun for the kids and can be used from around the age of one as it is not a pedal car. They are so easy to use as you just push it along with your feet which is ideal espescially for the toddlers as until around the age of three most kids can not pedal a car or a bike. The coupe car is around a metre high and has a yellow roof and red bottom half, There is four windows which are two at the side a front window and a rear window. It has a small door on the right hand side which opens and closes to make it easy for the kids to get in and out...

Review of Little Tikes Cosy Coupe

Fun for little tikes!

Advantages: Bright and fun
Disadvantages: Bit small

...This Little Tikes Activity Gym is great for young children and creates a fun environment which is also safe. The activity gym comes in a large box which contained all the parts. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Looking at the gym all you needed to do is slot in the pieces. This was true as the pieces did have to be slotted together but getting them together was the hard bit. You need someone strong who can force the sections together but at least the instructions are easy to follow so you don't go wrong (imagine having to undo it and reassemble it!). The activity gym is brightly coloured meaning more fun for the children. Be warned that the colours do not remotely blend in with any surroundings so don't be alarmed when you have this bright coloured object in the middle of your garden. The slide is quite short which...

Review of Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym

Cosy Coupe - Best money i ever spent

Advantages: improves co-ordination, easy to assemble, Great purchase
Disadvantages: Needs to be assembled

...My daughter had her 1st ride in a kiddy coupe at a parent toddler group, she loved it so much i immediatly went out and bought her one for her 2nd birthday. This is suitable for kids from around 18months to 6 years. It is easy to assemble and as a total novice i had it built in half an hour. It appears to improve a childs co-ordination as they have to control it with their feet to push forwards and backwards and steer it in the diresction they wish to go. There is a play key ignition which makes a clicking noise when turned and a squeaky horn in the centre of the steering wheel. 1 year on it is still a firm favourite and is used both indoors and out and is hard wearing. The best purchase i have made for my child by far!...

Review of Little Tikes Cosy Coupe

Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym

Advantages: sturdy, strong, robust, attractive, compact
Disadvantages: difficult to assemble, not as much fun as it could be

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Most crèches or children?s play areas seem to have one of these activity gyms and they looked bright and colourful so we decided to get one for my brothers first birthday. The activity gym as shown in the picture is made up of four side panels, each with holes in for the child to climb through. There is a small bright pink slide and a blue floor, which the children can go under or climb on to go down the slide. As we unpacked the activity gym it looked relatively simple to assemble, as it was really just a case of slotting the panels together but don?t be fooled! It was not at all easy to assemble although the only consolation is that if it was that difficult to put together its going to be near impossible for it to fall apart! The brightly...

Review of Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym

A playground for little tikes

Advantages: Keeps kids active
Disadvantages: none

...I have seen this plastic playground at a child?s play facility that I visited the child accompanying me enjoyed playing on it. Cost ~~~~ £499.99 from http://www.littletikes.co.uk Fitting and fixing ~~~~~~~~~~ This playground will come flat packed. I have not put this one together, but if it?s like other little tikes equipment it should not be beyond the capabilities of mum and dad to put together. Suitability and positioning ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These Little Tikes 8 in 1 adjustable playground is really suited for playgroups or nursery maybe a pub garden. It would be good in your garden if you have more than 1 less than 6 year old. Try not to put this under tree as birds will leave their messages on it. This playground should really be positioned on grass or specially designed soft flooring. Age...
