> 3 dayI need to take a break from building this thing... it’s a major pain. I finally got to the steering wheel and IT WONT GO IN I’m ready to throw it out the window. Or contemplating just not putting it on........ even though that’s the one part that makes sound. It’s literally the last step and it’s taken me the longest to do! On trial number 263926402 to get it in. The quality of the assembly sucks. I’d pay a little extra to have it shipped assembled even....... and I’m an engineer! I build things all the time. But this one sucks. It’s a shame because the truck itself is cute and I know these last a long time once assembled usually but I’m not confident in this one. Oh and step 1..... I put the door lock on. It definitely doesn’t work. Luckily my kid is old enough to not throw himself out the side door. Other cozy coupes and vehicles I’ve had the lock work just fine but for this one the door seems off a bit. The lock doesn’t catch the other side to latch. Overall I’m frustrated with this toy. I know if I ever get the stinking steering wheel in my kid will love it..... right now it’s just a big piece of plastic with wheels and cute stickers. Without that steering wheel I know my kid will be bummed.

> 3 dayMy husband and I gave this Little Tikes Cozy Truck to our Grandson for his 2nd birthday. He loves trucks and tractors and his mom, our daughter, said he sat is a Little Tikes Car at a friends house and loved it. We were delighted to find the truck and chose that for his birthday. We are very happy with it. It took a little patience to put it together but all the parts were labeled and the instructions pretty clear so it only took us a few hours. The whole truck is very sturdy and constructed well. Our grandson loved the tailgate, cup holders and gas cap. The horn was his favorite feature! It is a great horn and not too loud or annoying. All the stickers added a very realistic look to the truck. We thought the floorboard feature was very smart. Right now our grandson can not reach the floor with his feet so he rides with his feet up on the floorboard. There is a handle in the roof that can be used by an adult to push the truck until that time the child gets big enough to use his feet then the floorboard can be taken out. This is a great product! We got a great deal through Amazon Prime and it was delivered very timely. Thank you!

> 3 dayI bought this for my nephews 1st Birthday and he absolutely loved it. He refuses to get out. I must warn you on a few things before buying this product. You WILL need a drill with a Philips head. The instruction say its optional but it makes it a whole lot easier to build. Youll also need a hammer. Secondly, check all the parts before assembling it. I got a repeated part and was missing one in its place. It was a superficial piece that was more for aesthetics than function so Im not that mad. Lastly, the box was delivered in the sorriest shape you can imagine. It looked really beaten up, dirty and the best part is that it was opened. Not from being reburbished but from poor handling. So the toy came dirty and scratched up. The door for the car doesnt fit properly so it wont line up just right and will easily fall out if your kid hangs from it or is too rough when you handles things. The bottom piece that prevents the childs feet from hanging is so awesome. Really easier to put on and take off. Over all it took us 30minutes to put together with a drill. Instructions are easy to read and have lots of pictures. The product says that the wheels make it easier to move on rough terrain. I dont recommend it. Its a bit difficult to push on grass and runs nice on hard dirt or street pavement. The wheels tremble for for some reason when Im pushing him on mine. Only when its not on smooth surface and only one wheel. The top has a handle to hold onto to push them and a slot that fits a large phone nicely. Cup holders, tailgate... Cute features. perfext gift. I had one as a kid and loved it and now my nephew has one and lives in it.

> 3 dayEasy to maneuver and the horn sound is cool. My 1 1/2 year old loves it. He loves sitting in it, being pushed around in it, sitting in the back and chasing me around in it. Haha worth the money.

> 3 dayAssembly was long but instruction were good. I would definitely suggest putting on face stickers BEFORE assembling as you cant get your fingers in there good and now eyes are crooked!! This was on sale so we were very happy about that! Grandsons love it and thats all that matters!!

> 3 dayEveryone probably grew up with the traditional red car with yellow roof and stick plastic wheels . Well this mister truck version of that Car is 100% cooler !!!! My son is 12 months old and he loves to cruise the neighborhood in this truck, though we push him for now .

> 3 dayLove the truck, as do my kids. Unfortunately, the gas cap was damaged straight from the box. So far,despite emails to the manufacturer, i havent been able to get a replacement part.

> 3 dayWe bought this for my son’s first birthday. It’s been a huge hit. He is too short to maneuver it with his feet so we currently have the floor in. He can climb in and out and open the door with ease. He loves being able to open the trunk and place random toys in. He’s not a huge fan of the horn but it’s a nice feature to have. Putting the decals on was somewhat of a pain but the rest was pretty easy. Took my boyfriend about 10 minutes to put together himself. The wheels turn rather easy and haven’t encountered problems with it on carpet.

> 3 dayI bought this truck for my friends two year old for his birthday. He is a truck loving boy and I figured this was the perfect gift for him as he doesnt already have a riding truck! The truck was an absolute hit at the party and he couldnt have been happier! As some of the other reviews have said, this truck isnt the easiest to put together. Im a semi handy female, but I enlisted the help of a male friend to get everything attached as some of the components needed a little elbow grease to get in. In reading some of the other reviews, people recommend putting as many of the stickers on as possible prior to assembling the truck. I HIGHLY recommend that...just make sure youre not attaching a sticker that needs something drilled underneath it (I made that mistake and now have a headlight with a screw through it). The stickers are extremely sticky and not easy to remove, so make sure theyre lined up to just about where you want them, if not, you might have a hard time getting them unstuck. The hardest part of the assembly was basically just lining up the pieces. The roof was a little difficult because in lining up all 4 corners, everything has to be precise. I recommend putting the roof top down on the ground and attaching it that way. The wheels were also a bit of a pain because the metal portion that attached to the axles and goes into the car didnt slide through easily (there were shards of plastic in the way of getting it in completely), so you have to push through those areas. Once this thing it put together, its an awesome toy. Im only giving a 4 out of 5 stars because I think the quality of the pieces given for assembly could maybe be a bit improved, making the overall process easier. At the party, the kids loved being pushed around on it as well as driving it yabba dabba doo style (as I call it) by using their legs. There is a nice tray that can be put beneath the seat so that the kids legs arent dragging while its being pushed. Overall, a great toy for kids once its put together. I hope it lasts my friends son a long time!
