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.

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! :-)

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.

I bought this for my son when he was 2.5 years old. He is now 10 and we got rid of it 6mths ago.

This bed really withstood the test of time. We've had sleepovers with 2kids sleeping in it. We've had it being used as a trampoline!!

Its a great buy. It is true that there is a slight gap because of the mattress size but it never caused my son any problems. One can fold a blanket there if its bothersome.

I highly recommend this bed.

I bought this bed for my two year old because he got too big for his crib. He moves around A LOT in his sleep so I wanted a safe first bed for him. He absolutely loves this bed and actually he is sleeping much better now than he was before. The only problem was that the mattress and box spring we bought were too high, so we just use the mattress for now. Eventually we'll put the box spring back in.
