Little Tikes Cozy Truck Ride-On with removable floorboard

I bought this toy for my granddaughter for her 1st birthday. It was easy to assemble, took about 1 hr. Everything lined up well and had all the parts. I bought it specifically because it was made in the USA and am very happy with it so far. She has only had it for a few weeks, so I cant comment on the wearability, but my kids had a similar item for years and it held up well. I appreciated that the directions were in easy to read, real English (not translated), with some funny phrases built in. She has the floor installed right now because its winter, but we will be taking it out in the summer and letting her propel herself. She loves it so far and is already making car sounds and beeping the horn. Great buy when there are so few choices of American made toys out there.

We ordered this for our grandson. The first time we received this, after about one month, as he was riding it, one of the wheel axles stripped right out of the hole. There was damage to the plastic hole area where this fits into so we were unable to fix it. Just happy he was not injured when this happened. My biggest mistake is that I did not notify Little Tykes or Amazon of the this malfunction. We then re-ordered another one and started assembling it but were unable to complete assembly as the diameter of the holes of the body were not the correct size to connect the roof that gets assembled onto the body. Returning this one for replacement. Third times a charm. Very disappointed in the quality of this Little Tykes Cozy Coupe. The reason we ordered this particular one is because Little Tykes is known for their dependability and sturdiness of their products. I would not recommend this product.

Cannot use the tailgate due plastic alignment/ hole location. The tailgate is always down. Everything else assembled well. Kid enjoys getting pushed in it. Pushes and steers well.

We bought this for our grandson; this review is entirely about assembly. Our instructions said to put the horn on the steering wheel and then attach the steering wheel to the main body. We actually did this last because it was so difficult. Attaching the horn was easy enough, but we COULD NOT get the clips on the white insert to pass through the body far enough to allow them to slip over the o-ring. We called Little Tikes and they said to apply dish washing solution to the column. It did not help. This was extremely frustrating - they just need the white insert to be 1/16th inch longer. We considered other ways of attaching it, and in doing so we realized that the surface where the o-ring sits is not exactly flat. Which led us to a solution that finally worked; when you push on the steering wheel to get it slip over the o-ring, the white clips had to be at 3-oclock and 9 oclock with respect to the column. In other words, pointed left and right, not up and down. This was the ONLY way to get the o-ring to sit flush where the clip is trying to move past it, so it can clip onto the o-ring. Using this approach, and still applying significant muscle, we finally got it to slip over the o-ring. Much more difficult than it needs to be. Make the o-ring thinner, or the white insert longer - problem solved.

Love the truck, as do my kids. Unfortunately, the gas cap was damaged straight from the box. So far,despite emails to the manufacturer, i havent been able to get a replacement part.

Very sturdy, my grandson can sit in the bed of his truck and it does not tip. Had some issues with assembly but husband to the rescue.

The clip would not pass the second layer of plastic. Gave up and just used two zip ties instead. It might even be more study now with zip ties than the difficult clips that were included.

Great for pushing child in, but not very effective for child to control by pushing with his feet. The steering wheel doesn’t control the wheels at all. Although it spins, it’s decorative only. Also, the tailgate keeps falling open.

So as mentioned by others roof is tricky to put together. I tried following the directions twice. One of the rear supports went in fine the other wouldnt line up, and left a gap. I took everything apart and tried a different approach, which I found to work better. Lay the roof on its top and insert the rear roof supports, once they are in place and the seams and edges line up correctly secure them in place with the screws provided. Now go back and follow the steps to attach the roof to the front cab supports, the rear supports should be flexible enough to slide inside the cab area. If the front supports dont lock into place right away they will when you lift,the rear supports into place. After doing this everything should be lined up properly. Also put as many stickers as you can on before assembly begins, its a lot easier to put the grill stickers on when the grill is laying flat on the kitchen table. As others have said there are some holes that are not predrilled, but in an age where a cordless drill is $30 what is your excuse for not having one? Overall I found this easy to assemble, and my son should get years of fun out of it. I have tried to make it a bit more real by not installing the eyes or the mouth sticker in the grill. A quick trip to the junk yard scored me a 2003 Ram hood badge and two HEMI fender badges which with some automotive molding tape should make it a proper first truck. I found those fit best as a set, though Im sure a blue oval or bowtie will fit on the grill as well. Finally this is a Christmas present, I gave me son the box, today a month early. He isnt two yet and therefore doesnt realize what the box means for him. This way he has a month of box time, and on Christmas morning you wont have to watch your child play with the box instead of the toy. I recommend this to all!

The truck is much taller than the car. I didnt think about that when I bought it for my 1 1/2 year old grandson. Even my 2 1/2 year old has a hard time reaching the floor. But they still think its awesome!
