Little Tikes Cozy Coupe - America's Best Seller

I'll give you 5 guesses as to the best-selling car in 2008. Honda Accord? Nope. Toyota Camry? Nope. Ford Taurus? No again. You won't believe it when you hear the answer.

Little Tikes Cozy Coupe!

That's right - the most popular car in America is your kids favorite toy. The signature red and yellow Cozy Coupe is a staple in every garage in every neighborhood in the country. Kids love the durable, entertaining toy car that only goes as fast as their feet will go.

In 2008 there were 457,000 Cozy Couples sold, outpacing the Accord and the Camry. For the whole of the 1990's Cozy Coupe outsold Honda and Ford. And for the past 30 years they have sold over 10 million cars, placing it in the top 20 all time!

The Little Tikes Cozy Coupe is definitely a favorite around my house. The kids in our neighborhood all have them and love to race, crash and push them to the limit. My son seeks out the steepest driveway and enjoys launching himself down as breakneck speeds. My daughter prefers to toodle along the sidewalk at a snail's pace stopping to talk to neighbors or "fill up" with gas.

You can't underestimate the value of the Cozy Coupe as a derby car either. We routinely have knock-down, drag out bumber car contests on our street. The sound of two Cozy Coupes barreling at each other and making contact is as normal as birds chirping in our world!

The newest designs include some awesome upgrades like a removeable floor so your child's feet can be protected. They have also added cupholders in the back for refreshments on those "long" drives. A convenient handle has been added so parents can push the Cozy Coupe along. Finally there are functioning key ignition switches and a twist off gas cap that allowws for truly interactive play.

The durable and reliable Cozy Coupe will be a safe toy for your kids to play with for years.

Little Tikes Cozy Coupe Race Night

If you are a parent of a child under 10, you can probably relate to this. Every Friday night on our street an exciting event takes place among boys and girls alike. It is action-packed, fast-paced and extreme. Parents from every house hold their breath in anticipation of the result. Kids line the street to cheer and encourage their peers as they compete for the ultimate prize. The excitement and buildup last for hours and it is over in a flash. Champions are born and egos are shattered and winner takes all is the only theme. The losers limp home to review their strategy and plan for the next race. So what is this event you ask?

Little Tikes Cozy Coupe Race Night!

Yes I am referring to the best-selling car in America - the Cozy Coupe. We've all seen them scurrying up and down our streets, kids feet moving a mile a minute as they self-power their Coupe to their next destination. It reminds you of a scene from the Flinstones! The wheels rattle, the steering wheel strains and the sound is deafening. Have you ever heard one of those things coming your way? It quite literally sounds like a train off the tracks. Who knew something so small and simple could make that much noise?

The Little Tikes Cozy Coupe is actually the best-selling "car" in America over the past 30 years with 10 million units sold! In 2008 over 457,000 were sold, besting both Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. It is not only the best-selling car, but also one of the top-selling toys of all time. I personally can't remember ever seeing a garage without a Cozy Coupe. They are everywhere in my neighborhood and I would guess that is representative of most of America.

The great thing about this toy is that it is sturdy enough to withstand the day to day bruising from a child. Also, because it will only go as fast as their feet will allow, parents feel safe that their kids are not going to have a bone-shattering crash. That safety only applies to flat ground however, because if your son is like mine he will find the steepest driveway and proceed to launch himself down at terrifying speeds. I can't promise that that particular scenario will always end well.

The other thing you can't prevent is the Cozy Coupe derby - or bumper cars. Boys especially will immediately seek out another Cozy Coupe and torpedo himself at his adversary. Much like a real car crash, heads and legs can get banged up pretty good during a collision. Fortunately the speed limits on these toys make the crashes manageable.

Overall this is an awesome toy that every kid should have. It is almost a rite of passage in our neighborhood. Cozy Coupes are passed down from siblings and each kid takes great pride in ownership. So go ahead and get your kid his or her first car! No keys or license are required!
