Cozy Coupe® 30th Anniversary Edition

Comments about Little Tikes Cozy Coupe® 30th Anniversary Edition:

I put this together for my grandson today and afterwards, found out that screws were suppose to go into the back support and top. It looks like half of my instructions were missing. I went on line and reviewed video 2 that showed the correct assembly for the top and back supports, how to install the hood ornament, floor and steering wheels. I'm glad that I have a computer but what about those that don't? Maybe this product will last a long time and maybe my grandson will enjoy it but Little Tikes need to have a talk with their manufacturer to make sure all instructions are provided.

For this price you should not have to invest 2 hours of assembly frustration.. Really a nightmare!

My daughter had one of these when she was little, and now this is for her son. It is a GREAT toy, but it is nearly impossible to put together. I have put many things together in my life, but this wa rediculous. The printed instructions are useless, and I had to watch the video to get it done. That wasn't that great either, but it saved me. Surely there has to be a better way or have it asseembled further in the box.

I can push my grandson when the floorboard is in, but he can power it with his feet when the floorboard is out. The front of the coupe fits exactly into the frame of my son's snowplow, so my grandson enjoys "plowing the driveway."

Reading the reviews put fear into my heart but I was relieved to find this was no more difficult to assemble than any other large mobile toy. My wife (bless her heart) told me about the videos and that cut the time and frustration levels to near "0". There is a need for some strength in grip and the ability to use an open-handed "wack" to seat things in place so those older grandparents or those with arthritic conditions may need a second pair of hands (or a light rubber mallet). An electric screwdriver is also recommended.

My 18 mo old son loves to play with the cars at daycare so for Christmas I got him one I was kinda disappointed when I was assembling it this week as we have had bad weather so I didn't want to have it just sitting there where he could see yet not use it and there was no steering wheel in the box. I tried to get one and was told no because its been months and i never registered with the warranty guess I have learned my lesson I now have to pay for another part. So I guess I just recommend you assemble before hand so you can still get parts or at least open the box.

This was the most perfect gift for our 18 month old grandson. Having already purchased this 10 years ago for another grandchild & knowing how he & his brother adored it, I knew the same experience would be replicated & I was not wrong. Our granson wakes up each morning calling for his "car." He can't wait to get outside & living in CA affords him the weather to do so! I recommend this gift highly.

You should have seen my teen son, husband and I trying to install the front,right pillar. We finally had to use a blow dryer to soften the plastic and slather it with dish soap to get it in.

Whew! I'm glad my 3 yr old loves it so much.

I don't usually write reviews but we bought our daughter the cozy couple for christmas despite the reviews on horrific assembly. I had to comment and say it is not that bad...takes a little while (took us about 40 min with the wagon) and moves quickly with 2 people. Make sure you have the tools they list and you're good to go

My son Josh got the Cozy Coupe as a first birthday gift from his grandparents. I assembled the car, with one hiccup at the stage where the front pillars are inserted - found them to be quite firm to locate in position, but remedied this by using a smear of olive oil on one sheet of paper towel to lubricate the hook-in parts at the base of each pillar. Assembled in under 30 minutes, I am very impressed with the solid construction of this car! He obviously has not used it for long, as I assembled it today, but the look on his face as we (my wife, other sons and I) push him around says it all - he loves it. I can find no fault with this toy as yet, maybe the instructions could suggest a mild lubricant on the front pillars? Some reviews I have read condemn the Cozy Coupe and say they would tell people to steer clear of it because they had difficulty with assembly. I personally found that if you follow the instructions and take some initiative (ie, lubricate difficult joints) you will have no trouble.
