Toys and Games Reviews of Little Tikes Lightning McQueen Race Car Twin Bed
Customer Review: Great Bed but....
Summary: 4 Stars
My 3 yr old son loves this bed. It took us less than 30 minutes to put it all together (with the help of a cordless screwdriver). My son immediately claimed it to be, "my bed"! We have the mattress sitting on the wooden slats included in the box. Looks really great and the scale creates an amazing presence in the room. We read all the reviews but could not find the inner measurement where the mattress would sit...so buyers beware! A standard twin mattress is actually a little smaller than the inner measurement of the bed which is 40 1/2 inches X 75inches (a standard twin mattress is only 38x74). We had to fill up the gap with a body pillow and some old blankets so my son's arms and legs won't get caught in the gap. In the end my son loves it, my husband loves it...so I'm happy!Customer Review: PUT STICKERS ON FIRST!!!

This bed is great and my kid LOVES it! It also VERY easy to assemble, bu I have two warnings about that: buy some washers (the size of a nickle works best) otherwise it's very easy to over-tighten the main screws that attach the sides to the front and back and have them go right through the plastic. ALSO, put the stickers on FIRST, before assembling the bed (with the exception of the wheel stickers for the center of the tires). I assembled first then ended up taking it apart again because it's SO hard to put the stickers on to a vertical surface. It's hard enough when the surface is horizontal, but that does make it easier. The only part you can't do that for is the tires because there's a screw that goes right through the center of the tire into the bed.Customer Review: Great bed but make sure you check the packaging before you sign for it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This bed arrived on time, was easy to assemble and put the stickers on. The only (and a BIG problem!!) is that we did not receive the correct stickers. We received duplicate sheets of some items and none of the others. Therefore, my son's bed has only one side (the side against the wall unfortunately) which is complete.
I contacted dreamtime (the suppliers) who were prompt in their repsonse that it was not their problem and I should contact the manufacturers!!
I don't think this is acceptable and am waiting for them to get back to me with a better suggestion!
If you do buy this bed, I wouldn't recommend buying it from Dreamtime and I would suggest you check all the packaging before signing for it!
Customer Review: my son loves it!!!

The packaging size wasn't as big as I initially thought, it was just long and you definitely need a pickup track to get it home. I took other's advice for putting on the stickers on the side that is facing the wall first so that I could do a much better job for the other side. It took me around 1.5 hours to put everything together. I didn't use the spring box, I bought the plywood at Home Depot and had them cut it into 39 x 75 inches instead. Others are right, there are gaps around the bed for twin size mattress and it can be a problem for little kids. I bought a twin size comforter and use it to cover the mattress and fill up the gaps instead. Everything was perfect and most importantly seeing my son being so happy when he saw his bed was priceless!!!Customer Review: Lightning McQueen Bed Rocks!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Lightning McQueen twin bed is awesome!! My grandson loves it and couldn't wait for us to get it put together (he was playing in the middle of it as we were assembling it.) Other than the tedious work of putting the stickers on, the assembly was lightning fast. This is a sure hit for any sports car fan or Disney "Cars" fan. Now I can't wait to decorate the rest of the room. It shipped quicker than I initially expected and when the delivery company called to bring it to the house, they came within the "window" of time that they said they would. I looked all over to try to find free shipping to store sites, etc. but was unsuccessful. Amazon had the best deal I could find overall. I am a very happy customer!!
