Little Tikes Sports Car Twin Bed (Blue)

My 2 1/2 year old son is crazy about his new race car bed. Definitely made the transition from crib to bed much, much easier. Seems to be well made, although we just got it a few days ago. I like that it has a rail all the way up and down the sides to keep him from rolling out. Just an FYI- the pic looks like the bed is almost navy blue. It is actually a very bright, royal blue.

After 17 years, we finally got the Little Tykes Race Car bed. We were going to get it for our now 17 year-old many years ago, but alas, never did. We decided to just go ahead and get it for our 3 year old. He loves it. We love it. Wish we gotten it years ago. It is durable, stylish, and so cool. I think it will last for years. Plus, the sides of the race car prevent our son from rolling out so we didn't need to get side rails. You do have to lift the mattress to make it easily and it is bigger than a regular bed but it's a small price to pay for coolness! Of course, the biggest problem if we had gotten this for our first son, we would probably have 4 now since all of them would want one. The 3 older boys have all said they would take it if the youngest didn't want it. In fact, if they made a king size, I think we would have one of those. There are other versions (Lightning McQueen, Step Two) but this is the original and the best. Also, shipping costs and delivery were great.

My son LOVES his new race car bed! These are not easily found in stores, so yes, shipping is expensive, but Amazon had the best rate. The box is HUGE and is freight shipped, so someone MUST be home to get it, AND you have to schedule a delivery time. My husband & son put the bed together as a team (yes, my 2 year old "helped") and that was great bonding. He wasn't sleeping well in his old bed. Now I can't get him out of this one! :-)

WE got this for our 21 month old and he loves it and stays in it all night. It says to use a box spring with it but there is no way unless you want the mattress to be level or above the top of the car. So we literally cut up the box it came in and used it where the box spring would sit to make it more secure and then just put the mattress down. When we put it together we had to make several new holes because it wasn't made correctly and the wheels didn't fit on properly. thank god my husband is a brain surgeon and very McGyver like so he was able to fix it enough so we didn't have to send it back. All in all, totally cute and fun and little boys will LOVE it!

Dear Parents, Please take this comment into high regard before purchasing this bed, or even continuing allowing your child(ren) to sleep in this bed. We recently purchased this bed and also bought a high-end very thick twin mattress for this bed for my son. (He is almost 2). I also bought some body pillows and some king-size pillows as others had suggested and stuffed them down the sides. If your child is anything like mine and is active (even in sleep), stuffing pillows is not enough. During the night, my son managed to pull out some very stuffed pillows and was trapped UNDERNEATH the mattress and wooden planks for quite some time before we discovered him. He suffered from some bruises on his head and a swollen eye. He also had some swelling on his forehead because of the way that the wood was pressed into his head from the weight of the mattress. He was also VERY sweaty and in a daze when we pulled him out. We are a very "safe" family, always paranoid, and we even have a camera in his room. We never thought that this could happen. I believe that no matter what type of mattress that you buy there will still be sufficient amount of space for any small or skinny child to get caught. We really had a scary episode and I wish to convey our story so that it hopefully will never happen to anyone else. I truly believe that Little Tikes should recall this bed. Please be more careful!

So, I have used Amazon for most of my web purchases for the past several years and I have never written a review. However, my dissappointment in this product prompts me to write one now. In terms of the materials, it feels like the bed is about $10 worth of thin plastic. It is held together with eight screws, but with 4 of them you are just screwing directly into the plastic and after it is constructed it does not feel at all sturdy. The wheels are held on with one screw drilled into just plastic as well, so I give them about 2 months to live. In addition, as is stated in other reviews there is quite a large gap on all sides between the mattress and bed. This will undoubtedly be where all small toys go to die. To further my disappointment, the color (in my opinion) is misrepresented in the photos as a vibrant blue. It is in fact, Navy Blue; when I was a 5 year old boy and someone asked me what my favorite color was, not once did I say Navy Blue. The color looks dark and dreary. In a nutshell, I paid about $350 for a cheaply constructed, unattractive bed. The only reason, I am giving it two stars is because my 5 yr old will undoubtedly love it (he has not seen it yet).

I GOT THIS BED FOR A FRIEND, THEY SAID THEYRE SON LOVED IT, AND IT LOOKS GREAT, AND MATCHES UP TO THE TOOL CHEST DRESSER

this bed is really great. The only problem I have had is that the screws won't go in. Little Tikes and I have been going at it for over a month now. My 2 yearold loves this bed. You have to put pillows in the sides to account for the 6 inch gap between the bed and the car.
