Advantages: Robust, large range, longevity
Disadvantages: expensive disapointed with some products

...As most people know Little Tikes is a well known brand of Children’s toys. Their toys are renowned for being very robust and lasting years, as well as being on the pricey side. But hey as someone famous once said, "You get what you pay for". So you may be asking yourself from what prospective am I writing this review and how much does she know about Little Tykes? Well I got a son whose nearly 2 and he’s one of them typical little boys who loves climbing things and is generally a bit rough with his outdoor toys! And in our household we have a small slide and swing set (£100), a 2nd hand log cabin (£75), rocking horse (£10), sand and water table (£50), picnic bench (£40), a police car coupe(£30), a trike (c.£25) and a range of indoor toys too. Yup they do them too. We mostly got a few musical things, including a drum (silly mummy... Read review

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... Read review

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... Read review

Advantages: super for childs play
Disadvantages: no

...NEE NAA NEE NHAAA NEE NAAA. Watch out here come the police in the little tikes patrol police car, its been driven by a 4 year old the police man could be between the age of 1 and 5 as it will be big enough inside for them. There is only room for one patrol officer in this car and no space for prisoners behind him. This police patrol car is a version of the cosy coupe you often see children driving around in these cars from little tikes are very popular in childcare settings This car is ideal for the playground or inside in a large space. I did see one at toddler's world at the leisure centre in Dunstable. As you might imaginer this car is made out of plastic coloured blue with the word police on the doors (there are 2). There is a roof over the top of the car it is not an open vehicle. (Ideal little Johnny then can... Read review

Advantages: Durable, robust, outstanding quality and after service
Disadvantages: Large and expensive

...Little Tikes How many times have you heard the saying” That’ll last a lifetime” as your small child is given a wrapped present containing a toy, that you know very well will broken by the end of the month. No so any more. On the scale of durability, a balloon is obviously the least durable, but you have to look no further than your local toyshop to find something made by Little Tikes in order to reach the other end of the scale. In my opinion their choice of slogan is not only accurate, but it is seen to be working in practice. Little Tikes Toys that last a lifetime. The use of these 5 words was brought home to me very recently when one of our children was bought a Little Tikes truck at Christmas last year. At the beginning of this week my child dropped the front part of the truck on the carpet... Read review

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... Read review

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... Read review

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...

Advantages: Bright coloured toys that will last for years.
Disadvantages: More expensive than other toys

...This morning there was much excitement at Under Fives, our mums, and toddler group. The new Little Tikes kitchen had arrived and after 20 minutes fixing together and adding the pictures it was ready for use. It was not difficult to put together; I had come equipped with my screwdriver! Children were soon crowding round washing clothes, ironing and cooking meals. I regularly saw 5 children around it having fun. I then looked around the room at the toys being played with and it struck me that the toys with the longest useful life were all Little Tike toys. We have a Teeter totter, a rocker that can hold 1,2 or 3 children. We have had this for about 10 years and it is still as popular and apart from having lost it's little Tikes label it is as good as new ready for the next decade’s use. We have a Tunnel which has been... Read review

...Remember a few months ago when the weather was really nice and sunny, my children where always out in the garden playing with their toys. They only had a few outside toys to play with and they needed something which they could play with for a few hours. So I started reading the Argos catologe to see what toys they had in there and I came across Little Tikes Jungle Gym, it looked brilliant. *Little Tikes* Little tikes are an American company and have been making toys since 1970.They have an impressive track record and have won many awards. All Little Tikes toy's are very well maded with children in mind, all their toys are brightly coloured and very eye-catching towards children. *Product description* The Little Tikes Jungle Climber can be used indoors as well as outdoors but you will need a pretty big house to keep...
