Product Description
The Little Tikes Sports Car Twin Bed will be the favorite part of your little racer's room. This unique bed shaped like a sports car is the perfect place for your child to speed off to dreamland. The realistic wheel and hubcap design complete the feel of the sportser.
Editorial Review
Racing sports cars is a demanding job, and racecar drivers need to get a good night's sleep before a long day of burning rubber at the track. You'll have no trouble getting the "drivers" in your family to go to bed when they know they will be sleeping in this Sports Car Twin Bed. They'll love climbing into the "cockpit," downshifting into "low" gear, and gently cruising into a night of restful sleep. They'll also love its sleek styling and authentic wheel and hubcap detailing. Made of sturdy, double-wall plastic, the bed frame is sized for a standard twin mattress and box springs (not included) that can be set at two different heights. Adult assembly requires pliers and slotted and Phillips head screwdrivers. Wooden mattress supports and assembly instructions included. Measures 94 inches by 58 inches by 27.5 inches. --Chris Burns

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!

If you have a little by transitioning from a crib to a bed, this is the way to go. You don't have to worry about them falling out because the sides are high, and they think it is the best!!! Buy it directly from Amazon, the other retailers take to long and have horrible customer service.
great bed. March 28, 2008

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.
GREAT Race Car Bed for little racers January 27, 2008

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! :-)
 He LOVES it, but it does not appear very durable to us January 21, 2008

Pro:
-He loves it!
-Fairly easy to assemble relative to his crib (I did so in about 25 minutes vs. about 2 hours to do the crib)
-Screw driver is the only required tool (we used a cordless, but be careful not to strip the holes as you are screwing into soft plastic)
-Very little trash to remove that could not be recycled
Con:
-Wheels are a little flimsy, I expect to need liquid nails at some point to reinforce/reattach them as they are secured with one screw only
-Instructions are not optimal comment #1: I swapped the sequence of steps 6 and 7 to better assemble the bed and to ensure it is square
-Instructions are not optimal #2: When inserting the four "K" screws, I tipped the bed on it's side so that I could ensure that all four sides (pieces "A", "B", "C" and "D") were fully meshed/inserted and square
-Plastic is very soft, be wary of stripping holes when driving screws
-You supply the screwdriver (not included)
Bottom Line: Fun (recommended), but probably not an heirloom to pass down from child to child or resell.
