Product Description
Editorial Review
If you cross a red car with a plastic boat and combine the result with one of those big Victorian baby carriages, you get this entirely novel mode of tot transportation. This little car--32 inches long by 18 inches wide, and riding on 7-inch plastic wheels--has an integral plastic seat 9 inches off the ground and can be powered by two little feet through the hole in the floor. Alternatively, raise the bandshell-style yellow nylon hood and push your preschooler around using the 38-inch-high metal handle that sticks up from behind. The "cockpit" is fully equipped with steering wheel, beeping "horn," an ignition key that turns, a gear shift, and various battery-powered sound effects. Adult assembly is required. --Richard Farr
Product Description
America's favorite foot-powered car brand comes into the electronic age with a "high tech" dashboard that makes five electronic sounds. A retractable canopy helps keep the "driver" cool as he tools around town. Plus, a removable floorboard and adjustable four-position handle allow this sporty convertible to grow along with the child from toddler to preschool.
Stage One: With the floorboard in place, an adult pushes the car with the handle. Stage Two: When the toddler can use foot power, the floorboard is removed and an adult guides with the handle. Stage Three: The handle is removed when the older toddler can steer. Inside features include a gearshift, clicking key, cup holder and storage behind the seat. (Stuffed toys not included.) Body comes in a special gloss finish. Requires 2 "AAA" alkaline batteries (not included). Measures approximately 33" x 21" x 20".

My son has loved this toy since we got it for his first birthday (he's now 16 months). We live in NYC so we are constantly walking around and this is a fun alternative to a stroller. People are always smiling at my son as he steers and plays with the buttons - I've been stopped many times by people asking where we got it and was it expensive - which I think it was not.
But as I said - it definitely has limitations - the lack of a seat belt being the biggest. The first time my son rode in it he tried to stand up as I was pushing it, and I thought I was going to have to return it. But after a little engineering I rigged an old (and very long) buckle strap around the pole used to push it and under the convertible top and it works pretty well. My only other complaint is that the hard plastic wheels are SO LOUD on the city sidewalks - people definitely hear us coming. It would definitely be an even better toy if they changed the wheels to rubber. But regarding the seat belt, I think it would really be in Little Tikes best interest to change the model and add one.

I bought this for my daughter's first birthday! She loves this car and it is the cutest thing I've ever seen. The handle is great so I can push her up and down the street. Later she can scoot herself because the floor board can be removed. So it grows with her. The sounds are so funny and she can push the buttons to make the noises. She turns the steering wheel (which doesn't steer the car), she can move the gear shift back and forth. The canopy is great and actually useful. I was worried about the durability of the tires because they are plastic not rubber, but so far all is well. And we are putting a lot of miles on this thing. We go up and down the street at least twice a day. The only bad thing was it was a pain to put together. Don't do it while your child is napping. It requires a hammer! I am pretty good at putting things together and this was hard. But once it is done, it is a blast!!

My son receved this for his first B'day. He loves it, and we think it is cute too -- I don't think it is street safe though since it lacks a seat belt. It would only be a 1.5 ft fall, so I feel comfortable using it around the yard and in the house. Plus the plastic wheels are incredibly noisy even on tile. Its fine on smooth hardwood, but noisy on the kitchen tile and on the brick backyard. Its fine on the lawn too. The shade is a lovely idea for yard use, my son sits in the car and watches me gardening. I can angle the car to avoid the sun. he loves the wheel and key and buttons.
The assembly should take about 15- 20 minutes, the wheels etc were easy to install -- the push handle is the problem, the part attached to the car was impossible to put on due to a molding problem, and I had to file out an obstructive bump before I could insert it. That was an extra 15 minutes. Second, after a couple of hours, the screw attaching the two handle pieces has fallen out. Its difficult to steer until I find another screw.
All in all though, its a great idea, a reasonable price and has great play value! So I give it 5 stars for fun, and poor on the other categories.
