Review on πŸ‘‘ Little Tikes Princess Horse Carriage: A Magical Ride Fit for Royalty by Earl Ton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Definitely more games than your standard cozy coupe.

A great gift for our one year old birthday boy! We're not big princess lovers but all three of my girls love it. We like the bottom insert because it allows baby to be carried safely (see most door cons listed). We actually use a snack cup holder and her leakproof cup is free to move because she can easily pick it up. The older sisters take turns pulling her and playing various games from parades to taxi services, and loading the little one with stuffed animals in the carpool. The child likes the trunk function because he likes to hide things. And the big girls love that they can play music on my phone in the phone mount on top. But there are a few downsides. The construction was bumpy with 3 helpers. Almost everything has to be collected. Plan an hour. Maybe more if you have "helpers" or usually have problems with tedious assembly. Another disadvantage is the size of the trunk. It could go deeper. For a few Happy Meal-sized toys, it's fine. Not for stuffed animals, books or anything else. The door is also a game. I probably should have mentioned that first because it's a security issue. It is possible to "lock" it, but the door is not properly aligned to be very secure. This is due to the way the door is attached to the dashboard. I made this ghetto by pushing a small plug into the gap between the body and dash so that it lowers the dash and door which allows the latch to overlap more and close it more securely. But I still have to instruct the older girls to put the child's back against the far wall of the door when they pull it. Otherwise, if they're turning a corner and the child has their back to the door, they'll topple over on the door and swing open a few times as they topple over. :( Also the clip-clap soundbox could do with a bit of a redesign. It should rattle louder and more often. It's barely noticeable in action. Non-pink/purple/princess. How cool would that be, like a wild west horse-drawn carriage?

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very expensive
