| cacmom2001's Full Review: Little Tikes Sports Car Twin Bed |
Our son started climbing out of his crib before he was 2 and then would only sleep on the living room floor or with us. We thought that this bed would be so much fun for him that he might actually sleep in his room...and it worked!!
It was about $300 and the shipping was free at KB Toys, but I didn't see it on their website anymore. I think Wal-Mart.com had it for $250, but I think the shipping was about $100. This doesn't include the mattress and boxspring that will need.
The dimensions are 27.5 H x 94.0 L x 58.0 W. It fits a twin size mattress with twin sheets. Our sons room is a 10 x 11 and there is still room (after the bed) for a nightstand and dresser, but not a lot of toys.
It came in a HUGE box (because the 94" side is one piece) and couldn't be delivered by a UPS truck or anything. They (KB Toys) had it delivered by a semi! They said "semi" and I thought they meant a large truck...but I was wrong. I didn't really expect that so you have to make sure you have a way for the truck to get to your house.
The assembly was actually very easy. Each side is one long molded piece and you just attach the headboard and footboard to each side piece and then put the wheels and stickers on. I think it took my husband maybe 20-30 minutes. Sorry, it's been a year so I don't exactly remember, but we didn't have a hard time with it. One wheel did come off right after we put it on and pulled out some of the blue plastic. It wasn't anything major and we probably couldn't superglued the wheel on, but I e-mailed Little Tykes and told them. Within a week, they had another 94" side piece delivered to our house!
I am glad we bought it. The toddler bed that is just like this is about $150, but I wouldn't suggest it. They outgrow it very fast and you can't put a side rail on so they will probably fall out.
