LOTS OF FUN!!!!!!!!!
I was unsure if my 12-month-old niece would like this puppy rocker due to no electronic buttons or devices for phrases and/or songs, but she actually used her imagination and made up her own songs and phrases as she rocked on it with a great big smile and continues to do so at least once a day.

My 2 girls (2-1/2 and 4) loved this so much, I actually purchased one for them too even though the recommended age is up to 3 years. They too make up their own phrases and songs while they rock on it with great big smiles. It makes me happy to see my kids happy with this toy, it's durability and design, and that it allows kids to use their imaginations.

Cute, but has a lot of competition
My 13 month old ended up with two rocking horses and this puppy at Christmas due to lack of family communication. If she would have only recieved this one, I think it would be used more. One of her ponies sings while she rides it so of course that's her favorite. The only bad thing about this one is she learned almost right away that she can stand on the seat and rock it. It's really low to the ground. I can't leave it in her room unless I'm in there because I don't want her to climb on it and knock a tooth out! But, she does like it. When I bring it out, she keeps saying "puppy, puppy!" and climbs on by herself.

Not very much fun.
I bought this puppy for my daughter's 1st birthday. She is now 18 mos old and still only rides this toy every now and then. It seems like she is not interested because the puppy doesn't rock very much on our carpeted floors. Perhaps this toy is better suited for a non-carpeted surface.

My Grandson's Favorite TOY
I purchased this Big Blue Rocking Dog for my Grandson who is only 8 month old. What a smile on his face when the toy was opened!! He rides his dog everyday and enjoys it. This item can be used until he's 3 years old and is a wonderful present for any child who can crawl and begin to stand. I guarantee it will be a gift enjoyed for a long time!! ... Read more

Perfect 'First' Car
We bought this for our daughter's first birthday and she loves it! She loves to ride around on it with us pushing her (she hasn't figured out how to push with her feet yet, although she is tall enough) and she also loves to push it around when she isn't on it. The 'car' as we call it is very sturdy and seems like it will hold up well. My only complaint was that the 'some assembly required' was a bit more extensive than I thought it would be. I'm only complaining because I was anxious to get her on it right away and didn't realize it would need quite so much assembly. It wasn't difficult, it just took a few minutes. All in all I would say a very sturdy first ride for your little one and affordable too.

Awesome & indestructible little ride-on!
My two little girls LOVE this ride-on and fight over it all the time, even though my older girl is 4 and technically too big for it. My younger girl started whizzing around the house on it when she was about 9-10 months old -- sometimes with her older sister pushing her, sometimes propelling herself. It has no steering mechanism but that doesn't seem to bother them at all. My older girl likes to load up the back with dolls and toys and take them for rides. The younger one likes to take it outside and try to jump rocks with it (she will no doubt be a mountain biker). They really beat on it but it looks like new (aside from all the stickers they stuck on it). It is VERY stable -- my younger girl likes to stand up on it. Even as a baby she could climb off and on with no problem. I don't think they've ever managed to tip it over, though not for lack of trying. It has crashed into walls and furniture with no ill effects. And it is long enough for TWO children to ride on together! Which is just way too cute. My girls have played with it every day for well over a year now. Definitely worth $20!

The most stable baby/toddler car there is. We love it!
I bought this car for half price at a secondhand store and it is THE BEST car for a young child! We have several other types/brands of cars that were given to us and none of them are as stable as this one is. This is the only car that has NEVER tipped over for my child (several other brands have). Also, the seat height is great for my toddler, who has long legs, but it still works well for all of her friends too. It is definitely durable and it rides well on the driveway/gravel as well as on indoor carpet.

I would defnitely pay full price for this product even though I was lucky enough to find it for less.

I highly recommend this brand over any other!

Can't do without this toy!
Keanna loves this bike. We were trying to wait until her 1st birthday, but she is trying to walk, so we gave it to her early (11 months). She pushes it, sits on the seat (forward or backward) and rides it, and puts toys on it for a ride. It is so cute. She does try to stand on it so you have to keep a close watch, but it is a great toy that I am sure will get her walking soon.

My daughter loves this toy!
My one year old daughter recieved all kinds of toys for christmas. This one is her favorite by far. We can no longer leave the house without her "ike". She pushes it, rides it, and loves it when you push too. She is not yet walking so she use her bike to get around. It is great! ... Read more

Coffee Time
My little girl is 3. She got one at christmas time as a gift from her Aunt and she loves it. Its very durable and educational. She always loved helping her Pop make coffee in the mornings for her Nana so now she gets in the kitchen with him and makes it with her coffee maker using water and she has a ball with it. She likes the fact it turns on (the light) you can put water in it and the water drips down in the pot like a real one. Its an awesome toy. Im gonna buy more toys like this one. It keeps her occupied for hours, and also she can carry it anywhere and play with it. Its great. Your kids will love it!!

Best toy I have bought my son yet!!!
My 2 year old is very interested in his fathers coffee maker. When I saw this I just knew it would be a big hit. HE LOVES IT. The fact that it actually puts water through into the coffee pot is the best part. He plays with this for hours. He also feels like a big boy learning to pour. Great for learning fine motor skills such as pouring a liquid. ... Read more

the truck we have been looking for
WOW! I knew that Little Tikes was good- but not this good. This truck is it for two year olds. It is very durable, moves well, and it does something- while being the right size for little hands. We have A LOT of other trucks- either too much detail or not well made- this on the other hand is going the distance. The only problem so far is that the back two doors can come off if enough pressure is applied. However, the snap right back into place. The right truck for a truck oriented two year old and no worries about duribility and parts for the parents. ... Read more

Great role playing toy
My daughter plays with this non stop. She loves to bring us coffee and toast. I would highly recommend this toy!

Lots of Classroom Fun!
I was really happy with this after is arrived. I bought it from Amazon for the classroom where I work (full of 12 busy and bustling toddlers) to add to our play kitchen space. The sounds and the actions make it seem like the real thing and give kids plenty of room to use their imaginations. Would definately recommend - maybe not for the busy classroom like mine since it is only a $20 set, not too durable, but for the ordinary family it would be perfect.

5 stars for the toaster
My primary reason for buying this Little Tikes Breakfast Set was to match the Cookin' Sounds Kitchen Santa brought our 3 year old. This set comes with a coffee pot, toaster, 2 slices of "toast", plates, 2 cups and saucers, sugar, creamer, 3 spoons (one for the sugar and 2 for the cups), one plate, a butter knife and cutting board. The coffee pot takes batteries and when your little one presses the button on the lid, it makes a percolating sound. Also, the toaster has a spring mechanism so that it actually pops out the toast.
If it were up to me, I would have included a few more cups and saucers, but I guess kids aren't concerned about complete table settings. Besides, Little Tikes also sells a Cookin' Fun dish set (which I also bought!!).
On its own or to coordinate with the kitchen set, this breakfast set has gotten quite a bit of play since Christmas morning...my husband and I are served coffee all day long!

Perfect for all little cooks in your household!!!!
I bought this item as a birthday gift for my 2 year old sister. She loved it. After opening this gift she didn't even care about anything else that she received including her barbie trike!!! she is a little chef and immediately started making toast and coffee for everyone!!! My 18 month old son even loved this toy. it was hard to get him to let me wrap it for her because he wanted it open so badly. I would recommend this item for any little chef you might know!!!! ...

Don't Bother
We were looking for a push tricycle or bigwheel for our 18 month old.Don't bother with this one.It took me over an hour to put together (and I am the fix-it person in our home)and I ended up making a mistake.When my husband got home, it took him over an hour to get the piece off with brute strength (not kidding) and reassembled.It didn't help that the part was clear and therefore I didn't even see it.Once we started trying to use it, it was too clunky.As the parent, the only control you have is pushing, so if your child, like ours cannot steer yet... you can't really use it for walks.In addition, the height of the canopy/handle is not adjustable - so when using it to push - it was too short for us.If you are under 5'6 maybe it will work for you.My husband after playing with our child for 10 minutes complained of a sore back.We are returning it today.

Great Ride!
This was an absolutely great gift we got! My son got it for his second birthday. It took me about an hour to put together. Nothing too serious, but a second pair of hands was needed to put the wheels on. (It recommends this in the directions anyway.) Very easy for a child to maneuver, (steering wheel makes smooth turns), and the handle is perfect for a helping push if they can't pedal yet. Fun design, and cool sound effects. My only problem is I have two boys and only one car! I highly recommend this to any liitle boy or girl who loves to "drive" around.

cheap!
my daughter got this for her 1st birthday after seriously thinking of returning this item I ended up putting it together.Nightmare!Just a pain to get together.Too many pieces..directions not exactly clear..there is barely a bounce...and doesn't even ride good...I knew I should have just returned it and got something else because after 1 week I put it out in the trash..Im just glad it wasn't my money that I spend. ...

Holds up to 4 boys
I have 4 tractor/truck loving boys ages 2,4,5 and 6 and this truck is still going strong (outside even) after 6 months of abuse, I mean use. We bought several expensive Bruder trucks a couple years ago and they were all in pieces quickly. As far as my boys are concerned trucks are for working in the dirt not inside play. My now 6 yo tried to mix real cement in the now 5 yo's Bruder cement truck which of course did it in. When I saw this Little Tykes truck on the shelf at Walmart last December I knew it was the replacement I'd been searching for at a GREAT price. He loves it and while it is much dirtier now it is all in one piece still. The METAL Tonka's and the Rugged Riggz are the only trucks I allow anymore after all the tears over other trucks.

Little Tikes makes the best trucks...
I can't recommend this truck enough. My son is almost 3 and adores it - his very own working cement mixer! He plays with it every single day. He also loves the 4x4 hauler in the Rugged Rigz. Actually, he loves every toy he owns from Little Tikes. They have great big parts, they come apart but go back together easily for a 3 year old, they have no sharp edges, they have easy working moving parts, and they are lots of fun. As the mother of an active almost-3-year old who ADORES trucks and trains and fire engines, I can tell you that these trucks are big, the wheels are soft (not loud on my hardwood floors!), there are no sharp edges to scrape or scratch my baby, they clean very easily, they are DURABLE (!!!!) and your child will not be able to destroy or mutilate them no matter what torture they put them through! They can go outside or inside. I love Little Tikes toys - they are a Mom's - and a little boys - dream come true. ... Read more

Editorial Review

A fun learning toy for little culinarians, this kitchen unit is designed with electronic sensors that recognize the make-believe foods that accompany the set and respond affirmably with more than 100 different phrases. ("Bacon and eggs!") A two-burner stovetop is flanked by a sink and a countertop, where a cordless phone sits, handy for chatting with a friend. Above rests a shelf with a kitchen clock, while below is stationed an orange-colored oven with a working door, along with a water dispenser and ample storage. The toy is multilingual, able to speak in English, Spanish, or French. Included in the 22-piece set are a grilled cheese sandwich, a chocolate chip cookie, a sauté pan, cups, plates, silverware, and ketchup. There's also a Rubbermaid tub for storage. --Andy Boynton ...

The perfect outdoor climber
I researched many climbers, and finally decided that this was the one for us. My 2-year-old loves it! Assembly was easy enough that we can disassemle it and put it away for winter. The platform was a little tricky to get into place. I don't think I could have done it myself, but my husband did it without too much trouble. There are many different aspects of play with this climber - a long wavy slide, a fairly large platform complete with a steering wheel, a secret hideout area underneath, holes to climb up and down and in and out - all for a very reasonable price. I'm so glad we didn't have to spend several hundred dollars to get something that our son loves. What impresses me the most is how durable it is. My husband had to jump on the platform to get it into place. It didn't bow at all! It appears to be indestructable. (I certainly wouldn't leave it out all winter.) I brought it home from the store in my Subaru Forester, which is not a big vehicle. (out of the box) This was a big plus in my book. Anything bigger probably would not have fit. I expect that many summers of fun will be had with this purchase.

My Twin Sons Love It !
My husband and I bought the Wave Climber when our twin boys were 19 months old. It was very easy to assemble, there are only 5 peices that you lock together. It took us 10 minutes to put together. My sons really abuse toys (climbing, jumping, hanging on, ect.)and this climber is durable. I even climbed on the platform and went down the slide after we put it together. My boys will spend hours crawling underneath pretending it's a fort or climbing up the side and going down the slide over and over and over again! My sons are now 20 months old, I think they will have many years of fun to come with this toy. We have it in our finished off garage which we turned into a playroom. So they enjoy it rain or shine.

BEST PURCHASE YET!!
Bought this when my daughter was 18 months old. She loves it as much now at 3 years as the first time she saw it. VERY durable and stable. With the platform being open on top, the kids will be able to use it for a very long time. My 10 month old loves to hang out in the area under the platform. We actually keep this in the basement, so it gets played with year round. This is a definite for the kids. I highly recommend this slide!

Little Tikes Wave Climber
Keep it coming Little Tikes! I learned about Little Tikes 21 years ago when I had my first son and continued purchasing with the products with my 2nd son who is now 17 years old. I now have a 3rd son who is 19 months. Over the years I have seen the Little Tikes products change for the better and the quality product is still there. This Wave Climber is great for our 19 month old son. He loves to climb and this works and is safe. Way to go!

Good investment!
I bought this for my 17th month son and he absolutely LOVES it! It is stationed in the middle of my living room because we wanted to have something for him to entertain himself with other than being glued to the TV watching Barney all day. It gives him a chance to be active in the house when you're unable to get outdoors. (Would also be a good outdoor item due to the quality of the material it is made of.) It is a nice enough size to fit indoors for rainy day fun, yet big enough to play and have fun. He loves going down the slide over and over and over and never seems to get bored of it. He enjoys climbing up the side ladder (however, since he is still small we had to put a rubbermaid 2-step ladder at the base of the ladder until he gets big enough to reach the top to pull himself up. This worked very well.) The play area below the top platform is a little bit small because it is too short for even a small child to stand up in, however it serves as a great storage area for toys and stuffed animals. The unit is very sturdy and there is no chance of it toppling over, also the walls of the upper platform are high enough where a toddler won't fall over the side. Over all, good buy, great price, hours of fun! ... Read more

Kids who dream of being a hero on the court will love this adjustable basketball hoop fromLittle Tikes. Even the littlest of toddlers can slam-dunk their way to greatness with the extra-wide rim,close-set backboard, and a soft, small-size ball. The Easy Score Basketball can be set at six differentheights--ranging from 2.5 to 4 feet--so it grows with your child (and their skills). Made from brightlycolored and superdurable plastic, this is one toy that will stand the test of time. Sand or water isrecommended to weight the base (not included). --Melissa Wilson ... Read more

Again?
Here we go again..the electronic "sound" device is mute. Everytime I try and get a basketball hoop with a device that actually works, all I get is a soundless piece of junk. The toy is all right, but when you expect to get something that works and it is returned several times and one gets the same problem over and over..one is wondering if it's the manufacuturer or the toy store??

SON'S FAVORITE TODDLER TOY
My son, now 4 1/2 recieved this toy on his 1st birthday and it immediately became his favorite toy. This STURDY DURABLE toy got a DAILY workout from my son for about two and a half years. At which time we retired it for no other reason than he had graduated to a taller hoop (this one goes to 4 foot). I should also mention that our son preferred a full size ball (yes, it fits!)to the one that is included. I mention that only to support the DUABILITY rating. DURABLE it is!!!!! After four children Little Tikes has never failed us, when we have had a problem they have ALWAYS helped us rectify it. GUYS, if you can't put something together CORRECTLY, ask for help!!!!

It's a hit!
We have two kids, ages 3 and 1. They both love this toy! The only "problem" we have had is them fighting over who gets the ball ... so pick up an extra ball if you have more than one kid playing with this. As for the toy itself, it is very durable construction, has withstood being toppled over more than once, and the hoop does not fall out because we have pushed it firmly into place (you will hear a snap when it locks). The children hang on the hoop and it is just fine. I love the adjustable height of the stand, and the net has held up despite many things besides just a ball being forced through it. Now I just need to fill the base with sand and we will be in great shape! This is one of the best toys we have purchased for the kids, it keeps them active while having fun.

Worst Hoop
this is the worst hoop ever. No not spend your money on this piece of junk. the rim keeps on falling down even when it is in place. Plus the pieces are very easy to break.

About the Rim
I have three young children. They loved playing with this toy and did so nearly every day. We too had trouble getting the rim to snap into place when we first assembled the set. Although the rim was securely in place, I always felt it was not perfectly level as the front seemed to dip down about an inch--just enough to bother the eye. Well, one day my 3 year old, in his excitement to get the ball, went behind the hoop and knocked it over. As a result the rim cracked and broke. Needless to say my sons were very sad that Daddy couldn't fix it--even with super glue. I've held on to the base figuring I may be able to buy a replacement part or find the part I need at a yard sale or something. No luck yet though. ... Read more

Security concerns
I went to buy this for my 22 yr old son. However, the twin matress does not fit securely in the car. They are 6-12 inch gaps between the mattress and the side of the car on all sides, plenty or room for my son's arm, leg or face to get stuck in! Sure I could probably rig something up, but for this amt of money I shouldn't have to, nor am I going to!

Custom Sports Car
I love that the tires mount to the bed and the fact that they say "Made In The USA" on them. These beds are just too cool, and a quality product. My Grandkids love them and I know that they will out last anything else we might have bought them. We bought 1/2 inch particle board sheets and had the hardware store cut them to the same size as a twin bed mattress, they didn't charge anything to cut it to size. We laid the particle board over the slats in the bed so we didn't have to buy a box spring. I think we saved about $100 doing it that way. It allowed the mattress to recess down into the bed just a little to protect them some if, (and when), they jump on the bed. These are keepsake beds and I doubt that they will ever sell them, or give them away. They just love them too much.

King of the house!
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.

Want to get your toddler out of your bed?
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!!

Little Tikes Twin Race Car Bed
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! ... Read more

Great first truck
My son has this and one other handle hauler. He loves them both! He carries one in each hand and then gets down on his knees and pushes them side by side. As most Little Tikes toys, this truck is inexpesive, durable and very much age appropriate. Great gift for a first birthday! ... Read more

LOVE IT!
Just bought this today for my son who is turning 3. It holds tons of paper and other things which is great and I love the way the top opens up to be used as an easel. The light doesn't really provide a whole lot of light but it's a nice feature.

It's not too hard to put together but there are no written directions, only pictures. You can expand the desk so that it grows with your child and after I got the whole thing together I wished I just went ahead and made it bigger right away. You basically have to almost disassemble the thing to make it taller and I don't see us going through all that trouble down the road (I'll probably lose the directions that tell me how to do it by then anyway).
Box suggests desk is for ages 2-6 and I think that is about right. Too small for older children, especially the chair.

My son really enjoyed his desk all day today and I look forward to lots of great progects. It is even reinforcing to him that everything has a place and to put the lid back on the markers etc.
It's really great!

The best kid's desk on the market.
I have 2 boys, aged 2 and 4 1/2. They love, love, love this desk! It is made so well, that even if they stand on it (which occasionally they do, even to my dismay) it won't break. It has tons of storage space and is very colorful. The desk top can become an easel, with even a clip to hold the paper. Even my kid's friends love this desk too. I've had several of the mommys say that they had to buy this desk because they loved it so much. The only downside, which isn't even that bad, is that the light is very weak and doesn't offer much light. But that's really no big deal, I just keep the lamp on next to it. Definitely a great buy and I highly recommend it! ... Read more
