Little Tikes Tumble Train

The Crazy Train has arrived!  Working with Little Tikes is one of the highlights of my website.  The kids love Little Tikes toys and I love the smile that is on their faces when playing. I have had the pleasure of seeing that smile on Cooper's face while playing with the new Little Tikes Tumble Train.


I was a little hesitant when it came to this train as Cooper is 4.  I thought, "Would this toy seem too young for him?"  "Would Cooper lose interest quickly in the Tumble Train?"  Those questions were answered quickly when we saw the commercial on TV and he said "Mom, I want that train!"  So, I was lucky enough to work with Little Tikes on testing it out.  As you can guess, Cooper has been the best assistant in trying it out!

As the mom putting the track together, my fingers hurt just remembering it!  It was not the most fun thing I have ever done for my son.   However, his smile while watching the Tumble Train made up for it.   After the track came apart (for whatever reason -- It stays together rather well) putting it back together wasn't so bad.  Maybe Mom needed a little training on how to put the track together first.


Once the track is together, the train snaps tightly to keep it going.  There are no hard switches for your little guy to slip to start the train.  Simply touch the button on top and let it go!   I even noticed if it gets flipped over and hits the floor just right, the train will turn itself off.  That'll keep your children busy. 


I can't seem to get Cooper to sit down long enough to take a picture with the train but I was able to get his giggles in the background of a video.  He loves the Tumble Train and I have no doubt this would make a great gift for any little guy or girl this Christmas!


You can find the Little Tikes Tumble Train at stores near you or order it online.  Either way, let this train find a way under your tree this year.

Little Tikes RC Wheelz: Tire Twister

Disclosure:  I received one or more products in this post in exchange of an honest review.  All opinions are my own.

Cooper just turned four.  If you ask him, he'll tell you.. "I'm four now.  I have to be a big boy."  I'm not sure where he came up with the last part but he is quite a big boy!  For this big boy's birthday, Little Tikes had the perfect gift!


My children have had a blast with this RC car!  While the car is Cooper's, Allyson and I have played with it just as much.  In the tire, out of the tire, driving it at each other, and the dogs may have been victims as well.  Poor pups!


Two things Allyson has noticed.   When the car is inside the wheel, it reacts opposite from when it is outside of the wheel.  When I say opposite, I mean the way you direct it with the remote control is backward.  It is a fun way for these kids to learn how reaction of things matters.  Second thing, time flies when you're having fun!!


Something I love about this car...  It isn't super fast and can be controlled easily for my Littles.  Usually I'll find a RC car that goes so fast that it runs into the wall and most of the time playing with it is spent fixing the car or setting it back up so they can play again.  This is much better!


The Little Tikes RC Wheelz: Tire Twister is perfect for any age but really great for my four year old.  The rating shows a 3+, and I agree 100%!  Great Birthday, Christmas, or Happy Tuesday present!

5 Reasons why Little Tikes Wagons are Great!

Disclosure:  I received one or more products in this post in exchange of an honest review.  All opinions are my own.

As my little man has gotten older, the need for a wagon has become greater and greater.  He is bigger than most kids his age, so the stroller isn't a great option anymore.  While I have to remember he is still only 3 years old and can't walk 4 miles with me, I was searching for ways to bring my Cooper along on the long treks and even the short treks!


What you see here is the Little Tikes Ride and Relax Wagon.  Cooper and I love this wagon!  It is the perfect size for him and is so easy to convert into many different things.  It also has cup holders!!  See them up there?  A great time can be had by all with this wagon.

1.  Walking in Parades -- There are so many parades that I've attended that I see a child being pulled along in a wagon.   If a child isn't in the wagon, it is filled with bottles of water or even candy.   Personally I am excited to have this wagon joining out family as I am a Girl Scout Leader with a 3 yr old son that cannot walk the long parade route.  I can load him up and not worry about where he is or what he is doing!

2.  Walk around the neighborhood --I am a big fan of walking the neighborhood to get to know the neighbors.  With this wagon I can bring along the kids and when they get tired I am not required to carry them, but to simply pull them back home.

3.  Watch a movie -- Seems a little silly but Cooper loves to switch our Relax and Ride Wagon into a bench to watch a movie!  With a weight limit of 250 pounds, it is a great place to cuddle with him too!  Cuddle and movie time is the best with my little man and our wagon!

4.  Haul toys from room to room -- There have been so many times where I found toys stowed away in the bottom compartment.  Race cars, fire trucks, baby dolls, art supplies, I could continue listing but you get the point!  Also when I am cleaning up rooms after a long day of dragging out all of the toys in our house to one room, this wagon makes it easy to distribute them back to their homes!  Who said mom wasn't allowed to use the wagon too?

5.  Exercise! -- I mentioned before that we like to go on walks.  When I am out for a morning walk, I like to get in a few miles.  It is impossible for Cooper to walk/run for 4 miles. His little legs can only go so far, right?  With the Ride and Relax Little Tikes Wagon, he is able to do just that.  Relax and Ride!  He brings along water and maybe a toy.  Works great for him and works great for me!


Worried about safety while your Little is riding along inside this wagon?  No need!  You'll notice the inside of the wagon converts to little seats.  Inside these seats you will find seat belts!


I've raved about Little Tikes before and this time is no different.  The quality of the wagon is no less than what I would expect.  The wagon is made of very hard plastic and is easy assemble.  The wheels are easy to move as they swivel.  I noticed on our neighborhood walks, Cooper wasn't feeling the bumps and cracks in the concrete!  I was so sure at one point I was going to lose him but he barely moved.  All around, this wagon is great!
