“For so many kids growing up in the ’90s and early 2000s, the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe was a suburban rite of passage—whether you owned one, rode your best friend’s, or fought over it at preschool. I was lucky enough to have one parked in my backyard, and some of my fondest childhood memories are of ‘running a car wash’ with my sister, soaking the car with the garden hose and scrubbing it down with dish soap while pretending our scooters were motorcycles. This iconic red-and-yellow coupe was synonymous with childhood freedom, and it definitely defined mine.”
