Little Tikes Cozy Truck Ride-On with removable floorboard

The yellow frame didnt fit correctly into the blue base. Trying to push and rotate the piece into the base ended up almost destroying the yellow piece and it doesnt fit into the blue frame at all. Attached pictures show the top fitting, the front right frame piece not fitting into the blue truck base, and the tailgate of the truck not sized right and it doesnt fall into the notch provided to keep closed. My kid has also inadvertently made the door come out of the frame because the plastic it is made of is too easily moldable.

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.

I could not love this more! We bought this for our grandson’s 1st birthday and it’s just darling. Easy to put together when you scan the code on the front of the instruction manual which takes you to a video with step by step instructions. So easy to follow and love the visual. Didn’t use the printed instruction manual at all. Buy this!

I was so excited for this for my boys. Little tykes used to make a quality product but it seems they are slipping. The floorboard so you can use this for babies absolutely won’t go in. It doesn’t even really fit into the empty space. And you can absolutely forget the securing tabs fitting into the holes since they are located in the wrong place (see photo) we also could only get one of the back roof supports to pop into place. This was even after we drilled the hole bigger. This caused the roof to sit crooked and not align correctly. Also, one of the front wheels was very snug when we put it together so it barely turns and also barely rotates. Sometime it just drags across the floor. The kids still seem to play with it but I imagine they will get frustrated since it doesn’t want to roll correctly. And I hesitate to push my baby around in it in case his feet get caught under the wheels. Do yourself a favor and find one for sale that’s already put together so you can inspect it for any issues ahead of time

Took ingenuity from hubby to figure out how to get the front axle on… my little guy would have been so disappointed Christmas Day… didn’t have time to return and get a different one.

This wasnt too hard to put together, the video was helpful., I would recommend at least having someone around to steady pieces at different points. The door didnt exactly align and wont lock. You do have to put all the stickers on but the quality of them is really good and makes it very easy to put them on correctly. My nephew loves it and keeps treasures in the truck bed!

My only issue with this toy is that the door keeps falling off. My son leaned on it as he was climbing in and the door came off. My son ended up on his back and started screaming. But now he knows the door is suspect so he enters more cautiously.

My husband and I gave this Little Tikes Cozy Truck to our Grandson for his 2nd birthday. He loves trucks and tractors and his mom, our daughter, said he sat is a Little Tikes Car at a friends house and loved it. We were delighted to find the truck and chose that for his birthday. We are very happy with it. It took a little patience to put it together but all the parts were labeled and the instructions pretty clear so it only took us a few hours. The whole truck is very sturdy and constructed well. Our grandson loved the tailgate, cup holders and gas cap. The horn was his favorite feature! It is a great horn and not too loud or annoying. All the stickers added a very realistic look to the truck. We thought the floorboard feature was very smart. Right now our grandson can not reach the floor with his feet so he rides with his feet up on the floorboard. There is a handle in the roof that can be used by an adult to push the truck until that time the child gets big enough to use his feet then the floorboard can be taken out. This is a great product! We got a great deal through Amazon Prime and it was delivered very timely. Thank you!

Just like others have said, the trunk part doesn’t line up correctly. My little one still enjoys it, but I wish it closed in place a lot better for what we paid for it. Also I didn’t think about the design of the eyes of the truck being hard for little ones to see over when riding around.

The eyes did not fit since there were no grooves on the supports as described in the directions. When I called for directions I was told to watch the video on Youtube. Which I did. They were helpful but they were not in the same sequence as the written directions almost backwards from the written ones sent with the truck. My 1 year old Grandson loved the truck as it was a big hit. I would suggest watching the video before attempting to assemble.
