Little Tikes Cozy Coupe, Spray & Rescue Fire Truck {Spring Event Review & Giveaway #41}

Posted May 18, 2010 by Emilie with and 5,211 views | -

Little Tikes is celebrating its 40th anniversary and with it comes some amazing new toys this spring, perfect to enjoy all those gorgeous spring days outside. You may remember from my Little Tikes review and giveaway last month that our boys love their Little Tikes Cozy Coupe 30th Anniversary Car and fight over who gets to drive it regularly. We purchased it for Warren’s first birthday and had a blast driving it around the house until spring last year. As anyone with kids can understand, having the option of getting another similar item was exciting for me. The Little Tikes Spray and Rescue Fire Truck was the perfect addition!

Our day started out with some tender loving care for my Mother’s Day present my boys picked out for me with Daddy. Watering has never been more fun for them and less stressful for me as they aren’t drowning my poor plant but they can squirt to their hearts content. Warren decided it would be fun to spray Lucian and it then turned into a fun game of cat and mouse.

The Little Tike Spray & Rescue Fire Truck is perfect for their outdoor adventures. I love that the fire hose will stay neatly stored in the back rather than flop around. The details are fantastic and the horn is certainly a favorite as well!

The boys then moved on to washing the car (a.k.a. the cozy coupe) with the spray hose. At first I thought they might want to pretend they were filling the Cozy Coupe with gas but they corrected me immediately to explain that the car was dirty and needed a wash. The pump used to start the water is fairly easy to pump, even for my two year old. I like that it is teaching him cause and effect as plays and holds up to two gallons of water so I’m not constantly refilling it!

Doesn’t it look like fun? I snapped so many picture of the boys having a blast with both vehicles. While similar, we did notice features that are unique to each vehicle:

Cozy Coupe

Removable floor for two options for play. A bit safer for a younger child as you don’t have to worry about catching their feet if you push them.
Handy dandy cup holders. Two of them!
Top which provides some shade
Great handle for parents to push without having to bend very far
Locking door

Spray & Rescue Fire Truck

More room inside so it works a great for older children
No door to mess with so quick and easy to climb in and out
Water hose feature that adds a whole new dimension to play. It allows the perfect cooling off and water play children crave outside but without all the mess!
Can still push child using sides of truck but you will need to bend down further

Buy it: The Little Tikes Cozy Coupe 30th Anniversary Edition retails for $49.99 and the Spray & Rescue Fire Truck retails for $69.99. Both can be purchased from Little Tikes directly or from Amazon.
