My son absolutely loves this bed. He is the envy of all his friends. When a new playmate comes over, the first thing he tells his parents is "come see HIS bed". I have already been asked by several people if I would sell it to them when my son is finished with it, but I am saving it for the Grandkids. This bed is just too neat. The toy box on the end(in the hood) is wonderful for small to medium toys. It is somewhat limited on space , but great to keep action figures or cars or even some bigger things in. The bookcase on the headboard is also nice. The only drawbacks to this bed are: it is somewhat larger than a regular twin bed. (Not in mattress size, but in overall size) and mine is florescent orange which is hard to match. On the upside you can also purchase a "tire" toy box from Little Tikes which coordinates with the bed. Together the pair make a great bedroom set.

When the time came to transision our 18 month old into his first big bed, we bought a race car bed. Our son was thrilled. But, aside from it being a fun bed, it has a practical purpose as well. Normally, the box springs and mattress are supported by three wooden slats. We decided to place the box springs directly on the floor (with the mattress on top). This left the sides of the bed 3-4 inches above the top of the mattress. It was the perfect lip so he wouldn't roll/fall out of bed at night. Both of these factors made transitioning our son to the big bed easier.

The bed is very sturdy and quite able to stand up to the rigors of a young boy. It will undoubtedly last well beyond my son's use.

We put this bed together in my son's room thinking how great it would be to have a race car bed for him that he wouldn't outgrow for a long time. What we didn't take into account was that his room was very small and this bed is enormous! If your child has a big room, this is the best! If you have limited space, this is not the bed for you.

We ordered this bed from Amazon.com. It took several weeks to be delivered, but, when it came, the delivery men carried it to my son's room and assembled it! It was great! My son loves his new bed. I took the adivce of another reviewer and set the box spring directly onto the floor. Now I know my son won't fall out of bed! My son is only 27 months old, and, although big for his age, he has a hard time climbing into the bed on the side. He is able to climb in over the "hood" of the car, though. I also noticed that there was at least 2 inches of space all the way around the mattress. When I made the bed, I really appreciated that space because I was able to tuck his comforter all the way down around the mattress.

We got this bed for my son when he was 22 months old. We were moving and bought this for his new room. The excitement of his new bed made the move a happy time for him too. He is now turning 8 and refuses to turn the bed over to his little brother so I guess we need to look into another one! We started out with the mattress and bunkie board on the lowest level so he couldn't roll out, then moved it up to the next level when he was older. The toy box in the front holds alot and the headboard gave him a place to go with stuffed animals and other stuff. I would recomend this bed to anyone, it has been alot of fun for my son and he is still very proud to show it to his friends when they come over!

We bought this bed for my 27 month old son. The first time he saw it his eyes were like saucers. First he tried to turn the wheels, then it took him 4 tries to hop over the side, but once he got into the bed we couldn't get him out. He was like the king of the mountain! He loves sliding down the hood in the morning to get out of it and now climbs into it the same way. His smile was worth every penny spent.

Then buy them a Little Tikes Race Car Bed! It appeared to my husband and I that our toddler would never outgrow trying to get into bed with us at night. Until we purchased the race car bed. Now he sleeps soundly every night and loves it!! It so comfy and cozy! Every time before he gets into it he comments on what a nice bed it is. During the day he pretends he is a race car driver, a policeman and takes his stuffed animals for rides! This truly was the answer to some lost sleep for everyone! Thank You Little Tikes!!

My husband (and son) love this bed. It made transition from crib to big boy bed very easy. The only negative is the toy box is not hooked on in any way and the lid falls off constantly. Other than that, he would eat, sleep and live in it (my husband:)

Really it rocks!
