Little Tikes Deluxe Cozy Convertible Car Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son has loved this toy since we got it for his first birthday (he's now 16 months). We live in NYC so we are constantly walking around and this is a fun alternative to a stroller. People are always smiling at my son as he steers and plays with the buttons - I've been stopped many times by people asking where we got it and was it expensive - which I think it was not.
But as I said - it definitely has limitations - the lack of a seat belt being the biggest. The first time my son rode in it he tried to stand up as I was pushing it, and I thought I was going to have to return it. But after a little engineering I rigged an old (and very long) buckle strap around the pole used to push it and under the convertible top and it works pretty well. My only other complaint is that the hard plastic wheels are SO LOUD on the city sidewalks - people definitely hear us coming. It would definitely be an even better toy if they changed the wheels to rubber. But regarding the seat belt, I think it would really be in Little Tikes best interest to change the model and add one.

America's favorite foot-powered car brand comes into the electronic age with a "high tech" dashboard that makes five electronic sounds. A retractable canopy helps keep the "driver" cool as he tools around town. Plus, a removable floorboard and adjustable four-position handle allow this sporty convertible to grow along with the child from toddler to preschool.
Stage One: With the floorboard in place, an adult pushes the car with the handle. Stage Two: When the toddler can use foot power, the floorboard is removed and an adult guides with the handle.

Little Tikes Cozy Push & Ride Coupe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My husband and I really loved this toy, especially the functionality of the removable handle, so we took our son to the local Toys R' Us to try it out. My son absolutely loved it, but he kept sliding down in the seat and trying to climb out. We looked at a few other competitor's models and found them to have safety belts, which made them preferable. We cannot understand why a company as large as Little Tykes that specializes in children's toys does not comprehend the need for a safety belt on their ride on toys! Anyway, we read one of the reviews on this toy where a woman ordered a replacement belt for the toddler high back swing from the Little Tykes website and drilled and cut holes in this car and added this seat belt to make it safer. Well, we found a better way of installing a seat belt. A competitor, Step 2, has a product called the "Push Around Buggy" which has a seat belt that screws into the car. I went to their website and called their phone number and ordered a replacement belt for their item, which only costs around $2.50! What a deal! Well, all you have to do is screw the seat belt straps into each side of the car and viola', you have a safer version of the Little Tykes Cozy Push and Ride Car. We sincerely hope Little Tykes will catch on to parent's concerns about the safety of their little ones and make sure all of their ride on toys are equipped with a safety belt!

This little car has lots of big fun features including cute "bug" styling, a cozy roof and a removable push handle so parents can guide little riders along. It easily adapts to a child's growing skills, with a working driver's side door that locks with the turn of screw and unlocks when the child is old enough to scoot around on his or her own. There's also a working gas cap and horn, built-in cup holders and "ignition switch" and key.
