My grandson enjoyed this item, but the front wheel started coming off after about a years use. He did not use it everyday so I would have expected it to last longer. Very disappointed.

My brother bought this toy for my son's 1st birthday and it has made my son happy so many times over.But when the wheels started falling off and couldnt be put back on he wasnt so happy. Not to mention the steering wheel broke off completely.My son wants a new truck and we cant find them anywhere. And you guys should use better quality parts or something. Very disappointed

Beautiful car without wheels

By Alex from Zalaegerszeg, Hungary/Europe on 1/15/2009

Parent Of Multiples (Twins etc)

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Little Tikes Handle Haulers™ Haul&Ride:

We bought this car to my twins for their 1 birthday. My daughters love it, they did their first steps with the help of this car. Unfortunately after half a year the front wheels fell off and can't be re-attached. Nowadays after one year use the middle wheels also start to fall off.. My father has tried to repair and advised to ask spacers for the car. He said that these spacers need to be change... How can we order and get these parts?
Thanks in advance.

Fun sounds, very durable, and sturdy

By Brendon's Mommy

from Budd Lake NJ on 1/14/2009

Pros:

Durable, Fun

Describe Yourself:

First Time Parent

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Little Tikes Handle Haulers™ Haul&Ride:

This was great to see my 9 month old use for his first "walking" experience. Its very durable. The only con I have is that its not easy for him to turn it around on his own(as the walker). He'll walk to the end of the room then make a fuss for me to turn it around for him. He maybe a little too young for it. The ride on part is great and he has more control to turn the handle. After using this he seemed to have more confidence to walk on his own.

I bought this for my grandson who is 14 months old nad he loves it. He can get on and off by himself, he pushes, pulls and rides it. The sounds are very enticing to him. It turns better than his other ride on toys.

Front left wheel fell off

By Mom in Leveland

from Abbeville, SC on 12/15/2008

Pros:

Easy To Assemble, Fun

Not durable, Unsafe Features

Best Uses:

Indoors, Small Children

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Little Tikes Handle Haulers™ Haul&Ride:

This has been a favorite of my almost two year old even though the front left wheel fell off several months ago. We have tried to reattach but it doesn't seem to snap on. After a few minutes of play he brings it back for me to fix again. Because he still loves it, this happens MANY times a day. Also, the telescoping handle is a possible pinch point. I have stopped my son from pulling it up for that reason. I am disappointed about the wheel as I expected more quality from Little Tikes. Any suggestion on getting it replaced?

Comments about Little Tikes Handle Haulers™ Haul&Ride:

My son loved this toy; both pushing it around and riding on it. However, after 4 months of use the front wheel fell off and can't be re-attached. He keeps bringing me the wheel and I put it on but it falls right back off. He loves this toy but I am disappointed in that I didn't get value for the money on this one.

Comments about Little Tikes Handle Haulers™ Haul&Ride:

our little guy loved this for his first christmas, 10months old. He pushed it around while learning to walk then road it and loves it. We have kept it indoors and @ 20 months he still loves it but the front wheels over a period of one week, one fell off and would not click back onto the axle and then the opposite wheel did the same thing. So very dissappointed with the product as we hoped to get more toddler use from it and later as an outdoor toy.

Comments about Little Tikes Handle Haulers™ Haul&Ride:

This toy was great fun until the telescoping handle snapped off. We have purchased loads of LT toys in the past, but this one was not quite as durable as we had hoped. Our ride on toys are used indoors, and the toy was not abused. Not sure that the telescoping handle provided much value in light of the inherent flimsyness.

Great toy.

Comments about Little Tikes Handle Haulers™ Haul&Ride:

This truck was the perfect 1st birthday gift for my son who LOVES trucks! He's gotten 6+ months of use out of it so far and isn't showing any signs of being bored with it yet. He rides it around inside and pushes it around outside. It was easy to assemble (although I was surprised to have to put the stickers on myself) and has been very durable. I would recommend this truck to parents of toddlers who love their trucks!

Comments about Little Tikes Handle Haulers™ Haul&Ride:

I just picked up this truck at a consignment sale, and my 10-month-old already loves it! He is learning to walk and can stand behind the truck. He also enjoys just sitting on it and kind of bouncing to make it move a little. The noises are great and I enjoy gently pulling him around on it, while he smiles. It will be fun to see him learn how to push, pull, and ride on it all by himself. It seems like a toy that he will be able to use for quite a while...and it's still in great shape, even though it is a "pre-owned" vehicle.:)

Loads of fun!!

Comments about Little Tikes Handle Haulers™ Haul&Ride:

My little boy loves this toy. It was easy to assemble and is very sturdy. The sounds are very realistic, and it is heavy enough that he does not slip on hardwood floor, which was a problem with other toys. A great pick!

Comments about Little Tikes Handle Haulers™ Haul&Ride:

I bought this for my 1 yr old grandson. He loves it. He has short legs (wears a 6-9 mo size pants)and could touch the floor. He figured out how to ride it in a day. Everything is very stable. The design is wonderful you don't have to worry about pinching little fingers. Everything is real secure in all positions. I don't know about the wagon part because all he does now is push or ride. I'm sure he will love that part too when he gets a little bigger. It was very easy to put together too!!
