This item shipped fast but when it arrived one of the doors was messed up so we had to call fisher price to recieve another. I was a little disappointed in the quality of the kitchen, it is a little cheaply made. There are not enought nobs and things to turn, mostly stickers.

My 2 y/o old son loves this kitchen. It came with a a few dishes to start him off and so far it’s enough. He even helped me put it together. Instructions are all done in pictures with makes it idiot proof. Not hard at all. You will need a drill though. I didn’t anticipate that figured all assembly could be accomplished with a screwdriver. Not a problem at all for me, but might be for some that don’t own a drill it would be. The bottom pegs were kind of difficult to put on, but I found that if you turn them on the side a little going into the thread it’s a lot easier. I was trying to screw them in straight and couldn’t get one of them to go in, but after I sort started the thread in crooked it worked.. I love that this kitchen can be for a boy or girl because so many are aimed towards little girls. I received it only four days after ordering it and overall I am very happy with this toy.

I got this for my 3 year old son for his birthday! He had been wanting a kitchen since he played with one at a friend's house. We didn't want to get something too girly and this one seemed nice for that.
Height his good, my 5 year old plays with it as well. Seems sturdy. A nice basic play kitchen!

I surprised my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter with this play kitchen. Since the first day she has served breakfast, lunch and dinner to her dolls and stuffed animal friends daily! It is the perfect size–it is not large, but it has all the make-believe conveniences of a real kitchen!!

My son just turned 18 months and we wanted to get him a good first riding car. Was first thinking about getting the Fisher Price Lil Quad which is battery operated but since we are in the cold season now it would only be used inside for the next 5 months. I think a battery operated car would have limitation based on the space we have inside. We’ve always planned on getting him the Little Tikes cozy coupe anyway so we figured this is the better option for now. We have a pretty big open kitchen that he can drive around. We purchased this yesterday at Toys R Us during an unadvertised special $39.99!!!, put it together with NO problems and he played with it until bedtime! Got him up this morning and the first thing he went to is the car. So I think this is definitely a winner.

I was a little hesitant on getting the rescue model since I read some people had negative reviews on installation and quality. Maybe it’s luck but we had no problems on installation other than the stickers not sticking so well. We just used regular tape to help keep them on. The only battery operation part is the CB radio. He pulls it out and pretends he’s talking into it. It only makes a siren noise and has lights. That’s fine with me because I’d rather have him use his imagination with this car instead of having too many electronics going off. Right now he is only proficient in going backwards but once his legs get stronger and he’s more coordinated he’ll figure out how to go forward. I’m sure when we take it outside next year he’ll have a ton of fun with it. Based on what we paid for this and the fun factor, this car is definitely a keeper!!!

I read the reviews and was reluctant to buy this for my one year old grand daughter. But this is an excellent toy. It was not difficult to assemble as I had heard. No sharp edges. No need to drill any holes. It is a great toy. It lets kids use their imagination. No lights and sounds, other than in the CB radio. It is sturdy and she hasn’t gotten out of it except to bring her other toys into it. She loves her daddy, who is a firefighter, to push her around. This is a toy that will grow with her. I have 8 children and 17 grand children, and I have bought cozy coupes before and they last. don’t hesitate to buy this!

My son got this from his grandparents for his first birthday. He loves to climb all over it, sit in it and drive or play with the walkie talkie (especially because his dad is a firefighter and listens to the pagers go off all the time!). He hasnt figured out how to drive it by himself but he is only 1.

My father-in-law said it took him about an hour to put together and you really need to read all the directions or you will have necessary pieces left over! But the pain of putting it together was worth watching him play happily with his new toy.

I dont have any sharp pieces but there is some extra plastic on the seam of the door that makes it difficult for a one year old to open when fully closed or close fully. I leave it ajar for now. The only really disappointing thing was the steering wheel, an 18 month old at the party was able to pull out the steering wheel. There is an issue with it clipping in correctly, but I am going to call Little Tikes and see if they can send a replacement part. My one year has not been able to pull it out yet but I dont want it to be an issue when he gets older.

Overall I am happy with the car so far and my son enjoys it (which is what its all about anyway).

We got this cozy coupe for my 23 month old son to use at my mom's house, she lives overseas and we couldn't get the newer version there(30th anniversary version). I would've loved to get the newer one since I think the improvements made to that version make it a lot better. I really wanted to get the new features: removable floor board, handle for the parent to push, door lock. This would make it safer, and usable at an earlier age.

Still my son absolutely loves his cozy coupe, he spends the entire day in it, getting him to get out of it for meals is nearly impossible. He would sleep in it if we let him. It's really easy for him to maneuver, and to get in and out of it. I'm sure he'll use is a lot over the next 2 or 3 years, at least.

What I don't like is:
- The assembly is a little complicated, specifically the wheels. It would be nice to have written instructions in addition to the diagrams. Thankfully we put it together a couple of nights before Xmas Eve. It took about an hour, and you definitely need 2 people to put the wheels in. Also there where no holes for the screws that fix the white roof to the back of the car, we had to drill them.
- The decals don't stay on very well. I keep smothing them over and the next day the have wrinkles again.
- The door opens very easily, my son leaned on it this morning and fell off. He also tends to slide off the seat, ending up lying on the floor between the front wheels, although now he's got the hang of it and doesn't slide anymore. I really think it should have either a seat belt or a door lock, especially for a younger child.

Okay, so I read all of the reviews before I bought this item. I saw the comments about the troubles putting it together but I figured that I could do it since I’ve put every other toy together. Wrong! When I got the part where I had to put the front legs of the roof portion into the base of the car it was so tough…I had to call my husband and he had to use a rubber mallet with all of his might just to get it into place. It was ridiculous. Come on Little Tykes…do this for us! I don’t mind putting together wheels and the little things, but having to use that much force myself is a hazard and we could have easily damaged the product because it was so hard to put in.

Also, the lights on top don’t light up which is a bummer. If you put lights on top they should do something than just sit there…my little guy will be a bit bummed about that I think. But, I know that he’ll like riding it.

We bought this coupe for our 16 month old daughter who loves all of the riding toys now. The sitter has one of these and all of the toddlers fight over using it, so we wanted to get her one of her own. It took a bit to assemble, but in the end, it’s all well worth it. The cell phone we received was green though, not purple like in the picture. Otherwise, this is a great toy!

Our sons had cozy coupes when they were toddlers, now it is twice the fun to purchase a Princess Cozy Coupe for our precious little grand-daughter. She LOVES it! I highly recommend this toy because it is fun, but not overloading toddlers with all the electronic gizmos. Plain and simple … FUN!

GOT THIS FOR OUR GRANDAUGHTERS 1ST BIRTHDAY AND THE MINUTE SHE SAW IT SHE LAUGHED AND WAS “CHECKING IT OUT” WHEN SHE WAS PUT IN IN–SO WERE 3 OTHER KIDS AT THE PARTY, SO WE HAD TO TAKE TURNS! IT WAS EASY TO PUT TOGETHER AND THE COLORS ARE SO PRETTY! MY DAUGHTER SAID SHE IMMEDIATELY GOT IN IT THE NEXT MORNING–GREAT GIFT, NO CORNERS TO WORRY ABOUT!

I returned the first car I purchased due to poor fit of the post that holds up the roof in the front. That post did not fit good and the door popped off easily due to the poor fit. The 2nd car I received was a little better, but still had a poor fit. The door did not pop off though, which was good. We did think the included cell phone and stickers were cute. Overall, the Step 1 car we have for our other daughter is built better.

the car is great, but the front wheels don’t turn and adjust correctly. when you push to turn, the wheels will turn but most of the time will lock up and it’ll just slide (side ways). you’ll have to manually fix the wheels or give it a kick to get it going again. annoying. if anyone have the same problem, please post any comments or fix to this issue.

overall…my son loves this thing.

This truely is a wonderful car, but could use some modifications. The front wheels wobble, even w/ replacement wheels after a weeks use. The handle, when fully extended, has to much handle “play”, so it doesn’t steer well. But over all my 16 month old daughter loves it, I get allot of exercise, but..I wish it didn’t have those problems… it’s a cute idea.

This has to be my sons favorite toy. We got it when he was about 22 months old & wish we would have bought it sooner. He is very tall & long leged, and he can still sit in it with the foot tray slid out (his knees are bend up though) so that we can push him all over. He is 25 months now and still loves the music & buttons. He loves to push this by himself & his friends in it. They play with the car almost daily. The parent handle is very resonsive & works great, although not very tall. I’m 5’6″ & it’s a little low for me. We love that it is adjustable so that he can push too. Overall wonderful product!

My son received this when he turned 2 years old- he LOVES it. Especialy when his older sister pushes him around the house with it. The handle is adjustable so kids can push one another, or adults (after the handle is pulled up). Easy to assemble, great little ride for 2-3 years old. My daughter is 4 and it is a bit snug for her, and she is average-sized. Expensive, though…wait for a sale…I bought this at a very discounted rate…under $40.

I just got this for my son and usually love Radio Flyer items. However, I found this to be quite cheaply made. Here are some issues: The wheels swivel, but they are so flexible that they even collapse underneath the car from time to time. I was exited about the fact the tray that keeps his feet in the car, but when it is extended, it rubs the wheels making it quite difficult to move at all! Also, the door comes off almost every time my 18 month old son opens or closes it. It is really cute and my son still likes to get in it, but as for functionality, it is awful!

We purchased this table for our three grandsons who were all coming for Thanksgiving. Our home is small and we thought this would give them a “place” of their own. Little did we know that they would spend all of their time at it – playing, eating, coloring, putting puzzles together, etc. It served as a fort by the “native Indians” and as a mountain. Our grandchildren are not too wild nor too rough, so this was a perfect choice. I don’t think it would hold up to too much “heavy” play. It was put together without much frustration and it does collapse for storing as advertised.

I bought this table for my day care to use indoors, because I wanted to get rid of the individual chairs and use a bench style. The only complaint I have is I don’t know how to fold it down, without taking the screws back out. Other then that, the table serves its purpose of providing a large enough bench style table, for my day care children. So far I’ve been able to seat 5 at the table without a problem.

I purchased this picnic table because we have 6 small grandchildren. It is great and they love it. There was one surprise though. One of the reasons I purchased this table was because you can fold it to store it while not in use. Maybe I didn’t read the product description well enough but I didn’t realize you have to remove four leg braces (partial disassembly) in order to fold it. (Maybe a storage bag of some sort should be included to hold the small parts [bolts, wing nuts and braces]). I thought I would bring it out on weekends when the kids are here and store it the rest of the time. It will be out a lot more often than I thought.

This table works great! The only negative is to store the table flat & hanging up, you have to take apart some of the table…but we leave it up all the time so it is not really a problem for us.

I have inhome daycare and this table is PERFECT! During the winter i’m leaving it inside for kids to use for coloring/crafts/etc and when summer comes it will be outside. The kids love sitting comfortably around it and there’s no chairs to scoot backwards over little crawling ones hands. They also hide under it. Little Tikes brand never wears out!

Just received this table, but very happy with it so far. Nice quality umbrella and table is a nice color and size for kids to eat or do art projects. Also like that the seats aren’t contoured so one child can sit comfortably in the middle of the bench. Our’s was missing the washers, nuts and wingnuts needed to put it together, but Amazon was very quick to correct the problem. Great customer service!

I have two girls of my own, 3 1/2 and 1 1/2. I also run an in home daycare with twin 1 year olds, another 1 year old, and an almost 3 year old. So 8 kids total age range from just turned 1 to almost 4 years old. Weight ranges from literally 15 lbs (twins) to 38 pounds (3 1/2 year old) ALL of them can sit at this table comfortably and it is just the perfect size. They all sit by themselves and none have had any trouble sitting by themselves. We eat snack outside on it every time it is nice outside. We also use the unbrella and it really blocks the sun. It looks really nice and it is really durable. Looking forward to many years of play. No shipping charges were applied and it arrived VERY QUICKLY!!

Concerned Grandma — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 09:10:26 +0000

I purchased this table with umbrella for my two grandsons ages 2 and 3.

We keep it in the backyard and the kids like to sit at it for lunch and some playtimes with clay. The seats are rather low to the ground so it is easy to get into for toddlers and very young children. It was a little difficult to put together but we are not great at assembling things like this. It is nice to have the 4 seats all around, and the gray/taupe color blends well in the yard. As the boys are fairly tall, I don’t think this table will be as useful by next year, but I do expect to get this summer and next out of it. For grandma and grandpa to sit next to it, we pull up our folding chairs. We like having the umbrella to protect our lunches from other flying objects.

In general, it was a very good purchase.

Bought for my grandkids ages 1 & 2 for use on Florida patio. Patriotic colors and decent construction. Kids and parents like it alot and they can have enough room for a couple of friends to join them comfortably. Easy assembly and storage.

Delivery took way longer than it should have but product was intact when it was finally delivered.

I recently purchased this table from Amazon after an exhaustive search for an upgrade (within my budget) from my kids’ junior size table . I was delighted to find this item at a price way below local retail—–including a sun umbrella at no extra cost!!!!!—–plus FREE shipping. How thrilling NOT to have to go to a big box store, then try to figure out how to get it home in the family car with 2 kids in tow. And as a bonus THE TABLE ARRIVED WITHIN 2 DAYS OF ORDERING.

The table itself is quality Little Tikes construction–sturdy, durable, adorable—and my kids love it. You can easily fit 2-3 kids per side and the umbrella makes it perfect for outdoor summer dining. Assembly took less than 10 minutes (done solo) and I’m thrilled it’s collapsible because wintertime storage will be so much easier. I look forward to several years of use out of this product both indoors and outdoors.

This table is perfect for my two year old son and his friends who range from 12 months to 4 years of age. My favorite thing about it is adults can sit at it as well; I love having breakfast with my son on the table. It’s very easy to clean off, even when colored on. It comfortably fits four children and could accommodate six, depending on their size.

I purchased this for one of my grandchildren and was very surprised at how sturdy and large it was. I’ve purchased several other Little Tikes products and never been disappointed. And, after checking several other sites, you can’t beat Amazon.com when it comes to price and/or fast delivery. You CAN fit several kids on this one. Remember… there are 2 sizes, this being the “large” one.

Very cute and VERY small kitchen, perfect space-saver. Our daughter is still a little young for this toy, but loves putting things in and out of all the cabinets and doors. It was a little tough to put together and some of the doors don't quite fit together, but I expect it will hold up fine to the abuse it will continue to get over the years. Overall a nice little kitchen set.

This is a great product for toddlers, and also infants who can sit unsupported (as long as they are supervised well for when they tip over face first into the balls). You can leave the slide part un-inflated if using with small kids. My 6 month old loves the colors of the balls and playing around in them.

This was really easy to put together. Just takes some time if you blow it up by your mouth. I tried to up a pump but mine wasn’t working properly. It is really durable. My son and his little dog were jumping on it and playing on it for months. I bought 200 balls to go into it and that was plenty. Balls were all over the room everytime he jumped into it, but that was the fun part.

I bought this toy for my one- and 2-year old daughters. They love it but the toy came with a small hole. The patching kit that came with it was worthless so we had to devise our own way of patching it. It still has two small leaks that we are unable to find so we have to blow it up every day. Other than that, it really is a lot of fun for the girls. It’s a great toy for indoor play on cold or rainy days.

This toy box is great! I have 2 older children who each had wooden toy boxes. Although they fit into the home better looking as a piece of furniture, the storage was never good…..Just not big enough. The Little Tikes Giant Toy Chest is perfect! It holds everything and I don’t have to look at the stray toys that wouldn’t fit in. Plus I love that the top comes off and I don’t have to worry about a falling lid crushing baby fingers. I read many reviews where this was a complaint……but I look at it totally opposite!

The size of this toy box is great! It holds plenty. I like that there are no small screws and bolts and it will not squeeze small fingers. To be honest it was a pain to assemble. Trying to put plastic pieces into slots and then to line them up took two of us.

I like this toy box.

Now, why it gets a 1 star is because the product picture is wholly misleading. You can not (underscore!) lift the lid as show in the picture. Meaning they've rigged the picture to give the impression that it's hinged. It's not hinged. The top falls off at a lesser angle unless against a wall. "Lid detaches for safety" is their way of saying the lid isn't hinged?

Anyway, boo for them. I still would have bought it, and still like it a lot. It's great construction and massive inside. I even like that the lid is vaulted. But you don't have to lie. Rating: 1 / 5

first of all I’ll start with this…this thing is HUGE!! my daughter has so much toys and stuff accumulated over her 3 years of life and this can fit every single thing….but there were a few problems I had with it. The toy box was VERY hard to assemble the mouldings and fittings are all plastic and it seemed like the manufacturer didn’t make sure the fitting all fit into place…it took 3 people about 2 hours to properly fit everything together it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to put together in my entire life! BUT…once it was finally together correctly it was everything I hoped for and more. It would’ve got a 5 star rating but the hard assembly knocked it down to 3

Comment on Little Tikes Fold Up N Go Train by Peanut's Mommy

Peanut's Mommy — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 06:45:25 +0000

Our train has made always made all its sounds, has been played with daily for several months by our toddler, and is a must-have first train. Our toddler is a GIRL by the way — and my friends’ boys also love this same train! It can go on the track or be placed on the floor for play. It has no problem going along our carpet, too. The three characters are fun for play without the train, and you can put other toys to go for rides on the train, too. This is a safe, practical, and easy-to-cleanup train set. It’s the kind of thing you buy for your kids and then also get for friends’ kids’ birthday parties — like I said, must-have! After seeing the rating and only 1 review for this toy, I had to write a good review because it has been such a favorite and I don’t understand why it has only 1 negative review.

We got it as a gift. I exchanged it 3 times in the store and finally returned it. The toy supposed to make sounds: train, elephant, and monkey. The first toy: elephant didn’t make sound. My son liked the toy and I decided to exchange it for the working toy. Second time: train, monkey, and elephant didn’t make sounds. Third time: everything sounded well but train didn’t move.

Great product that was built thick and able to withstand some rough play. All the sounds worked just fine and it is great that it folds up for quick and easy storage. however, I am not able to get the train to stay on the track. The wheels don’t stay on the plastic track and the train falls off. Train works well on carpet and the motor seems fairly strong for a child’s toy.

The train was lost somewhere somehow so I actually ordered a 2nd one because the boys seem to love this thing. It isn’t too loud, and you can use it on all surfaces, not just the track it comes with. Worth the $$$$

My 9 month old LOVES this toy. It's ugly, molded plastic, but it's the simplest xylophone-style piano I've seen. What it lacks in style, it makes up for in not being shaped like an alligator or not having googly eyes.

My daughter loves musical instruments, but she's way too young for an actual xylophone. The sound of this piano is surprisingly nice (not annoying like most battery-powered toys), and it seems pretty sturdy. We haven't had any problems with it being tippy or hitting my daughter in the face. It's light enough that she can pick it up, and potentially drop it on herself without it causing any injury. She also likes sticking her fingers in the screw holes on the bottom. :-/

I can't say that it really has any educational value except to reinforce an interest in musical sounds. There are only four notes; you can't even play "Mary Had a Little Lamb." We play rhythm games instead. Rating: 5 / 5

This toy has a nice sound, but the bottom does not sit solidly on the ground, so if the baby is laying on their belly to play with it, pressing on the keys too hard will make the whole toy flip forward and bonk them in the face.

Best to use while sitting up.

[...]. There really is nothing special about this, other than it it great for your child if he/she is stable enough to sit up. My 7 month old loves it and bangs on it a lot and laughs as he does it. As someone else posted, it’s a little too easy to turn over. Your child won’t get hurt if that happens, but he/she might get a little frustrated.

This toy should be no more than $8 or $10.
