Little Tikes Cozy Coupe
Verified54 reviews
After following the very simple steps on Youtube it only took me 45 mins to complete the task. Im someone who absolutely despises doing these types of flat packs, yet I was able to complete with easy on my own. After reading many of the reviews I thought it would’ve taken me 2-3 hours to complete but that is not true. Some people just need to… Read more
STOP complaining and get on with it.
For those that were complaining the answer is simple: Don't buy the product.
For those attempting, you’ll be right mate. Go on son.
This is one of the worst things I have ever put together in my life . Worse than any flatpacks ! It took about 2 hours but literally nothing was simple , takes a lot of force to assemble . Now it’s finally done I’m sure my grandchild will enjoy it . Show details
Assembly nightmare – This is the most ridiculous thing l have ever assembled. I have built furniture for years, so even after reading the negative reviews l honestly thought...its a kids toy, how hard can it be. Well l was dead wrong. The instructions are pointless. Watch YouTube video instead. It is time consuming, awkward and simply not enjoyable. And l usually love… Read more
a good assembly project!! I am just glad l chose to assemble BEFORE giving it to my 2 year old grandson for Christmas. What a nightmare and waste of time that would have been on Christmas day.

Easy assembly - what a lie – So disappointed with the two cozy coupes I bought my kids for Christmas. The assembly is so challenging and exhausting. Definitely not easy and requires two people. Even holes weren’t pre-drilled. I wish I could send them back. Why on earth isn’t more of the car put together? Show details
Tommy loves his fire truck - Thankyou – My Dad says 1hr and 2 beers to build - Our Tommy says Thankyou - I’m a bit little yet but growing into my fire truck - my Nanny bought me this Tommy xx

kids feel that they are driving a car like their parents – Little tikes Cozy coupe is the best ride on in my view. We are very happy that we bought it for our son.Its quality is excellent, its very sturdy and durable.My son loves it and always feel that he is driving his own car.A face in the front of cozy coupe with eyes ,nose,cheeks and a smiley face makes it look very cute and a child falls in love… Read more
with it at first sight.
It has a removable floor which makes it more value for money,we started using it when our son was small. At that time he use to sit in it and we use to push the car by using the built-in ( cut- in )handle.when his feet started touching the home floor then we removed the floor of cozy coupe and our son loves to go from one room to another on his own in his car.
Cozy coupe has high back seat which makes it more comfortable for child and there are two cup holders in the back ,my son loves to keep his water bottles there.It has clicking ignition switch and open and close petrol/fuel cap which gives them opportunity to go to a toy gas station to fill petrol in their car. Front wheels turn 360 degrees and driver’s side door has an inside lock.
steering wheel just adds up to the fun.
Overall we are very very happy with Cozy coupe and feel that every child should have it. Excellent quality,durable,value for money
More than just a toy! – We originally thought $130 was a bit on the expensive side so we looked on Gumtree and Ebay. Most were scratched, sun faded or poor quality so we purchased it brand new and so glad we did! It really is fantastic and if you get 5 years out of it and 100's of hours of fun for the kids $130 is well worth it. We have spent hundreds of dollars on… Read more
toys which get played with for about 5 mins then never looked at again, this isn't one of them. My son was extremely fussy towards toys but he loves this car and smiles the whole time he uses it. Honestly you couldn't fault it and it was good to see that the car is made in the USA and not China like other toys, so you know it's good quality.
Be warned though, there are alot of parts in the box and it does take alot of patience and time to assemble the car. It is fairly easy to do if you watch the instructional video on the website (the paper instructions are like rocket science) but you will need to have some of your own tools ie: Hammmer and Philips head screw driver. It was alot easier to assemble if you have two people doing it.
It might seem expensive but add up the other toys you own and you will realise it is well worth the price. Excellent quality parts, strong and durable, hours of fun If purchased in a box, the assembly time took about 1-2 hours, need a hammer and own screw driver too
Good – If I had to recommend a toy that you would get great value for money and lots of use out of, it would be the cozy coupe. It is very simple in design yet kids love it from 1 to 10 year olds and out of all the ride on toys i have bought, the coupe gets the most use. I was able to buy my coupe (in 2005) in one of the yearly toy sales for $79 but that… Read more
is the cheapest I have ever seen it as I believe it normally can be found around the $100 - $120 mark. I have the model as shown in the picture however I think they now have a new design with big eyes at the front of the car. We have had a couple of minor single vehicle rollovers in ours due to our kids using the door as a leaning post but the coupe is not hugely heavy so there has never been an injury as a result. My coupe has been heavily used by my 3 children and it still looks in great condition. Easy to manoeuvre with feet, durable wearing plastic, easy turn steering wheel, easy open side door, easy open fuel cap flap, storage tray at rear - great for teddies and the like, nice sounding horn (not too loud which is a bonus), easy to wipe clean. If the child leans on the door too heavily while it is in an open position it can cause the car to fall over to the side, like all plastic toys it fades if left out in sun.
Positive reviews
Forever a favourite! – We bought one of these because my boys were obessed with them at their local playgroup . I thought it was a little over priced but they get ao much use out of it! They are in it every single day. My only wish is that the plastic material used on the car was eaiser to clean. I find it stains really easily.
Good ride on! – We received this as a present for our 2 year old. The assembling was a nightmare but once done, it's no fuss whatsoever. My little one loves it! It has been used very roughly but still functions brilliantly. Very safe and good quality. Highly recommend it as it will last forever.
Fantastic car poor assembly instructions – Got a mini coupe for my 2 yrs old boy from toys rus the instructions were not the best and hammering the hub caps was an absolute nightmare the manufacturers couldve easily replace the parts with somthing a little less cheap but apart from that my boy loves his ride
Negative reviews
No regard for customer satisfaction or environment impact – Disappointingly Little Tikes/MGA provide no option to purchase replacement parts (readily available for sale in the US) in Australia, rendering their products unusable and a senseless waste when only a small fraction of the 2-year old car has broken (causing it to be unsafe for use). Frustrating when the part IS available with proof of warranty… Read more
(i.e. they CAN provide the part but won’t!). I’ve previously purchased parts from several renowned toy companies to extend the longevity of children’s toys, which just seems common sense and environmentally responsible in today’s world. It’s immensely disappointing that Little Tikes, a company that exclusively deals in large-scale plastic products, doesn’t care for their customers, nor the environmental pollution produced as a result.
Little tikes = time thieving people selling shoddy products (keeping it clean) – It took me nearly three hours to put together. I’ve got a degree and have built a two storey extension on my house, so should be just about capable of putting this together. The instructions don’t have a parts list, but references part letters to different parts. It wouldn’t be a problem if there were half decent pictures to instruct you, however… Read more
they’re tiny, black and white, and definitely not comprehensive. I’m never buying anything from this company again and encourage you to do the same. (That was quite an effort to keep this review clean).

Nightmare – Bought for grandaughter, assembly took for ever and parts were missing which i was told we had to pay for as i had not kept my receipt. Well why would i lie about them not being in the box to get a free set? They were hub caps for the fairy princess car for goodness sake. Years ago we bought the cozy coupe for our children which was supplied… Read more
almost completely assembled, so why send it in bits now? Will not be buying any more vehicles from them, shame things change but not for the better.

Great toy but missing parts – We purchased one of these new from Mr Toys on sale as we were almost finished assembley which was so difficult we realised there were a few small parts missing as It was almost all together returning to the shop was impossible so I emailed the customer service address on the instruction booklet. We never heard back from them. My husband added a few screes from home etc. My son loves it but poor service.
Purchased two and both broke within an hour – We bought the Police Patrol Car for my daughter's 2nd Birthday. Within two hours one of the wheels had burst right along the joining seam. We returned it and collected another one three days later. This was built and again within the hour the same problem occurred. It's as if the joining of the wheels has not been fully completed. We now… Read more
have one very upset 2 year old who doesn't understand why her birthday present has been taken from her twice.
I don't rate the quality for this product.
The wheels damage all our bamboo floor – My 16 months girl loved the car when we got for her but she had one ride around our dining table and the wheels scratched all our renting house floor. We had complain to the costumer service and they told to return it to the shopping that we bought. They didn't care at all. We are very disappointed! Bad wheels, bad costumer service!
Fantastic product! – My son received this as a gift at 9 months of age. The 30th anniversary edition has the removable floor in it so that he can still use it while being pushed around. He has the matching trailer as well. Needs assembly when purchased but wasn't as hard as some. Even at this age, he loves it and holds onto the steering wheel while being pushed… Read more
around. Many years of fun to be had in this one. Is super sturdy and seems like it will last years. Sturdy and cheap while on sale.
My Daugher can't live without it – I bought this car for my 22 month daughter for Christmas, we also got the trailer to match. She plays with the car all the time, puts her dolls and toys in the trailer. We still have it in the house at this stage. Made well, not as hard as I thought to put together. Look for sales that you can get the free trailer at Target and Myer I have seen this bonus. Will be a toy my daughter can use for a few years Show reply
Our first drive in the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe – We recently went to a birthday party at a children’s play centre and master 1 had his first drive in the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe and he loved it! It was safe, bright and fun. The steering and wheels were easy for a parent to assist or a little one to manoeuvre on their own. Because of its rounded finish there is no need for a parent to worry… Read more
about damage to property when there is an accidental bump. The kids had to have one and I found that most major stores sold them, Toys R Us and BigW at under $100. What a great first ride for any little budding rev head! This is a toy that my littles ones are sure to play with for years. Unlikely to damage property if there is an accidental bump. The kids loved it! Comes in a range of colours, prink or red.
Love it – Bought this for my nieces 1st birthday. She loves beeping the horn and also watching her little cousin play in it also. Its very sturdy, has an option to lock the door. Love the feature that you can take the floor out of it once they grow up and bit and can power it themselves. Very much look forward to seeing her grow up with this.… Read more
Everyone was very impressed with this gift.
I was also surprised at how easy it was to put together. I saw a review that said it was difficult, but I didn't have any problems and I'm a 26 year old female :P
Highly recommended product. Style, ease of use, longevity
Best buy i have done! – The only toy i have bought that my 3 kids use daily and never get sick of it! The use it for many different types of plays, it transforms from car to boat ( by turning it on side). The 1 year old loves opening doors, steering it and climbing in and out! Great quality, kids love it, from the baby to 6 year old Wheels a bit noisy depending on surface

Love this! – I bought this for my daughter almost 3 years ago for christmas (she has the pink one) and it is awesome! I usually leave it out in the yard, unless there is a storm... It has lasted... It hasnt faded and I now have a little boy and at only a year old loves it as much as his sister dose! I have bought the Cozy truck for my son for christmas this… Read more
year to stop the fights..... It is awesome all over! Love that it has a horn and a fuel cap! It is really weather resistant! Definatly the best purchase I have ever made!!!
Great quality – I bought in for my eldest 4 years ago for Xmas it has been a favourite ever since we had our twins 2 years ago and had to purchase another one as the cosy coupe was being fought over. It's quite weather proof as they have barely faded in direct sunlight, it's a great toy for outside play. The kids enjoy them and there easy to move with little legs… Read more
The way the roof had to be attatched you had to screw threw plastic and the roof has already detached, they need to make a easier more reliable way for te roof to Be attatched
Fantastic toy! – This little car is amazing. Kids just love it, easy to keep clean, seems to move pretty easily and of course it is nice and bright as well. I would love to have another for our son, as they are bound to fight over it as they get older. Great toy! Fantastic, Great Fun for Kids Bit expensive
It's weather proof – So happy my 3 year old is super satisfied with the cozy coupe. Keeps him entertained for a while. It's weather proof we've had the coupe for coming onto two years now and it's amazing how it has withstood all melbournes weather conditions. Love this coupe! We are satisfied and thrilled with its purpose. Kids can learn Alot with the cozy coupe because it teaches them focus, direction & motor skills. This item is very kid friendly and safe.
Fabulous, must have for kids – My son was bought a cozy coupe for his 1st Birthday last week and everything about them is great. they are built well and superb quality, they have all the little extras like a horn and door lock and key which twists in the ignition. I highly recommend this product to anyone. I havent been able to keep my son out of it. sturdy, reasonably priced and a favorite of my childs
A great investment – Our two kids love this car. Especially our son who is 2. He "drives" around the house, puts petrol in his car, and goes "to the supermarket" in it! He plays in it at least once or twice a day (and we got it for Christmas 2011) so it's been probably the best thing we have bought for him so far! Safe. Kids love it! Quite hard to put together!
What a great invention! – All my three kids loved this car. They would play in it for hours and refuse to get out. It ignites the imagnition, where they would pretend to ride to the shops, park, beach, the list is endless. We kept it inside, so that it would last longer and not succumb to the suns rays. We bought this at a sale price of $90 which I thought was reasonable… Read more
for the use that it got. It is still functioning, in as new condition, and will make a great toy to baby number 4 when he/she arrives soon. Great structure, durable, built to last, especially if housed inside as does not fade, ignites the imagination,
This is a fabulous toy for ages 18months+ – Once our daughter started walking we got her a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe. We were able to put her in it with the removable floor in and push her round the block on our evening walks. When she was big enough she was able to use her legs and strengthen her muscles in our back yard. It comes with a little petrol station (that you can buy… Read more
separately) that allows imaginative play to buy and sell things. Like being a grownup. Reliable, entertaining, inexpensive, major motor skills Horn quite hard to push
A wonderful toy!!! – The Cozy Coupe is a fantastic toy. My son first started playing with one at playgroup & then we decided to buy one as he loved it so much. It is his favourite outside ride on toy by far. great value for money, especially if it is purchased on sale as advertised frequently in some of the major retailers. Well built, sturdy & my sons love riding around in it.
Loved for years – This toy is timeless and stands the test of time. My little boy is rough and this toy is still perfect. It is played on everyday without fail and he never tires of it. Sturdy, good price for as often as it has been used
All kids should own one!! – sturdy quality plastic! weather cant even kill this! My son has owned it since his 1st B'day and its kept outdoors and still looks like new. Hours of fun has been spent playing in this. All kids should own one. My son is almost 4 and still fits in it and plays with it just as often as he did 3 years ago! great quality! worth the money!!
Fantastic toy! – My son loves his cosy coupe. He calls it the 'big red car' and uses it every day. We bought the trailer attachment which has doubled the fun. We bought the car when my son was nearly 2 years old and he still loves it, and it looks brand new! Durable high quality children's toy. Well made from high quality materials Nothing that we have found. Might only be that he will out grow it soon.
Poor instructions – Instructions are crap. 1/10 ease of putting together and iv been assembling toys for 11 years now. Show details
