A special birthday is being celebrated by Little Tikes, it’s the 30th anniversary of the ever popular Cozy Coupe.
Rather than settle for a sponge cake covered in decorative and (more importantly) tasty icing, Little Tikes have launched the Cozy Coupe 30th Anniversary Edition.
As with updated versions of classic cars, such as the Beetle and the Mini, the new Cozy Coupe has a noticeably different look. Not so much as a designers face lift but more accurately – a face; formed with giant eyes and a broad, all teeth showing, cheek-to-cheek smile. Read more

Horsey Hoppers

It’s often dubbed as the sport of kings but to be possibly the second most popular spectator sport in Britain, horse racing shows that its appeal is much broader; especially amongst the wager inclined.
However, to be more involved than a punter, one certainly needs at least a princely sum to spare upon one’s past-times.
If riding lessons, stables fees, getting to racecourses, etc is not for you, then you can sample the excitement of jockeying for position and making headway in the final furlong with Horsey Hoppers. Read more
Review: Atomic Sports Rocker
October 11, 2007 by The Toy Detectives
Filed under 6 to 8 years, 8 years & older, A, Atomic Sports, Outdoor, Physical Development
The Rocker may have three wheels and pedals but to call it a tricycle would be far wide of the mark. More accurately describe as a recumbent cycle, the Rocker lets the rider take a comfortable leaned back seating position, close to the ground.
The pedals drive the front wheel via a chain, similar to bicycles. The front wheel has a pneumatic tyre so bumps won’t make your feet slip off the pedals; plus the pedals are designed to grip well onto footwear. There are mudguards over the rear wheels; which are essential because the rider is close to the ground and the grip handles are in front of the rear wheels as well. Read more
