You said it. I know what I sound like but we made things like that with old cardboard boxes? They were poor? Don't think so! And we had imagination! Piece of crap.
I lived on a cul-de-sac that went downhill, so we would get in the car and the other kids would push us and we'd go flying down the hill and crash into the curb at the bottom.
In our neighborhood we kept doing this even after we couldn't fit inside the things - riding on the top is almost even more exciting (and dangerous, since it's very top heavy).
We did something similar to that back as kids my friends and I, we would all try to ride the car at the same time going down hills. So three of us would be inside, a person hanging on each side of the car, and someone on top of the roof. So one afternoon, we decided to go down this steep hill not realizing there was a drop at the end. So we all got on it and picked up speed from all the weight, and started to lean forward from the rough hill. So when we realized there was a drop, it was too late, we flew off with all of us getting hurt.
Some friends and I did a much more dangerous version of this - with a traffic barrel. It showed up in a neighbor's backyard, and when he called the DOT, they had no interest in retrieving it. It was, however, perfectly sized for a small-to-average size middle schooler to fit inside of. You'd just brace yourself and let your friends chuck you down a grassy hill. Good times, though, looking back, it's a miracle none of us broke our spines. xD
I had one in the 80s it definitely didn't have eyes. I think the eyes showed up in the 2000s, if you look at toddler toys now everything has eyes. Imagine a room full of staring toys. Just always staring.
I was nearly 5 feet tall and a hundred pounds when I was 5 years old. I might have had fun with mine before I was old enough to develop memories, but man, I just remember being pissed that every time I would try and yabba dabba the thing with my feet, my knees would hit the wheel and dash. Then, I took it up a hill because I saw my short friends do it and it looked fun. I tried it, couldn't get my legs up high enough, my feet dug in and I rolled the thing over forward and would have been thrown clear if not for my massive girth. I guess what I'm saying is, I would have mailed you mine. Sorry I didn't know. Cheddar, Plz add trigger warning for big children.
???????? Reminds me more of the creepy Chevron claymation cars. Their eyes were the headlights. Disney and Pixar cars had them in the windshield (which obvious Little Tykes can’t do). But yes, I hated the redesign. Kids already personified cars even before the movie. I used to collect micro machines, and they all had names and all talked to each other. They were people. We did not need the, to hav eyes.
Yeah, I never had a Cozy Coupe as a kid, but my grandparents bought us one of those Power Wheels Jeeps. My cousin and I had so much fun with that till the battery died.
Me and my siblings had an off brand cozy coop, and when we got too old to ride in it, we just hopped on top and let our younger sibling ride inside. You can guess how that went...
Yep did the same thing with my younger cousins. 1 inside, 1 on the roof, & 1 to push behind. The key was to not fall off or kick the one inside in the head.
Yes! I would always scratch my legs trying to get in the car and I could never go fast, or even slow, without hitting my legs. I loved the idea, but didn’t like the result.
I was a little too old to enjoy this when it came out, but I remember seeing it in catalogs and being charmed by the design. My plastic vehicle of choice was the Marx Big Wheel.
I still remember getting one of them for Christmas when I was little. My dad spent the whole morning pushing around in it. It’s one of my fondest (though faded) memories. ....and it’s called a “Cozy Coupe”...huh🤔
@@cheddar How about the controversial dark history of the cap guns/water guns and why they have to have orange tips by law. Also super soaker is a fun story from a nasa lab to backyard fun.
Exactly. There are often poorly researched by millennials. I assume they don't want viewers or subscribers in other countries. Plus they are comparing two different markets. Peddle cars were often used by 6-10 year olds. These are used by preschoolers - babies and under 4. No older child wants to be seen in these baby toys.
@@uhsund Cheif the electric ones have been around longer than tesla as a company has been around plus they usually cost like 150 dollars while the tesla one is wildly overpriced.
I’ve ALWAYS wanted a Cozy Coupe. Now, I need a giant adult version so that I can enjoy getting exercise. (I’ve seen the novelty Cozy Coupe painted Mini-Coopers).
In early 2000s in Poland, they were for rent in almost every mall. Parents would rent them for their kids while shopping. Around 2010 they unfortunately started disappearing and now I don't really see them anywhere. It's very sad, because it used to be an important part of my childhood shopping experience and now kids don't really have anything like that.
I didnt have the classic yellow and red Cozy Coupe, but a grey and green van styled one, but was by Little Tikes still. Loved that thing so much as a kid. Though our Cozy Coupe had stickers with the real looking headlights unlike the weird eyes and faces that the new ones have today...
as a kid these were great i had one, then as teenagers we tried sending my mate down a rather treacherous hill and he barely fit in the thing... it ended badly, he stopped coming out to play after that incident
Tumbling down the stairs in one of these as a 2 year old is possibly my earliest vivid memory. Unbeaten until I plugged in a headphone jack into the power socket when I was 3.
I'm a Generation X-er so I didn't have one , I had a Big Wheel which was the "Cozy Coupe" of the 1970's. My niece & nephew & all my friends w/kids had/have them though.. 👍
As a kid I thought those Big Wheels with the "Spin Out" hand brake were cool af. I always wanted one. My next door neighbor Chris had one and he let all his friends ride on it which was nice of him. We fishtailed that puppy so much that we wore a huge hole in the back right tire. Back then kids actually enjoyed going outside to play instead of sitting on Instagram in our bedrooms all day.
One of my oldest memories was in preschool and we had a mini “car wash” inside. There were these plastic tubes with blue streamers flowing down. They had like 5 of these cars that the kids could “drive” through the car wash. Fun times
Went down a hill in one, honestly don't know how I made it, my brother went down that hill years later on a bike and crashed right into the woods at the bottom of it when his brakes went out. (He is alright, but I never went full speed down that hill again)
The only memory I have is from a daycare I went to. They had about 4 for a 10 kid class so there were daily fights over it, so they had to make a schedule of who could use it each day. One day when it was my turn, I was just vrooming around, and ran into a big rock (I dont know why it was there?) but I fell down, got to go home early and got popsicles which was sweet Other memories include a bunch of 3-year-olds playing house and following around a car like they were in the backseat xd
I have a lot of memories of this toy!! This,the Little Tikes plastic cube shaped jungle gym,and the swing set was the staple of the block!!🤗 I remember having 4 people on the car at once! The driver seat of course,the roof,the back,and the front. A lot of fun!
Had one of the originals in the 80's. We were at a wedding this past weekend and they had a coupe cozy coupes, out at the playground, my nieces LOVED them. Just bought them one.
The Cozy Coupe was one of my first memories. Nothing special not even sure what age, just that I got in one on the play yard at church and I was really surprised and happy that my feet could finally touch the ground all the way.
DoomFinger511 I have a funny story about that! So my father was one of the designers of the second generation cozy coupe (so I had 2 of them, I was even in a discovery channel documentary about it!) but when he left, Little Tikes gifted me an electric lighting McQueen! That was like the best thing ever. It's a big part of why I'm so into cars today!
I remember using it in daycare when I was little. There was this outdoor track we could use them on. The only part I didn't like was the fact that I kept bumping my legs on the plastic
These came out JUST after I had outgrown that kind of toy. But, I work in child care, and there are a few of these on the playground. They are a favorite!
There was a dump down the road from my place as a kid. Two bins on the side of the road. Someone threw off two of these and me being the smart crafty hands on kid I was took them home, took two and made one (took wheels off the bad one and put on the good one).Then my brother and I "drove" the thing till it literally fell apart. When we took it back to the dump it had no roof (we took it off cause we got too tall for it LOL), no door, no wheels and the "steering wheel" was locked up and well worn. We didn't want to but we had no parts and no choice. Plus we had outgrown it. Great memories of our little junker. I am just glad we got to give it a second chance to please a kid.
I feel that in my bones. My personal favorite is when you saved up birthday and Christmas money from other people to get something you really wanted only to have your parent 'borrow' all your money, and you never see a dime back, because "hay I feed you and keep a roof over your head so I don't owe you shit".
This is probably the best marketing ever.. Ive never heard or seen one of this before ever in my life, but now Im totally thinking of buying this for my future kids
I remember my Nana had a pickup truck version of this and I think the original too. The cool thing about the pickup version was that it was big enough for a 7 year old to drive and it had a trunk that worked like an extra seat and what me and my cousins would do is we would have one of us operate the pick up,while one of us sat in trunk and held onto the plastic car while the person in the plastic car enjoyed the ride. Also what we did since it was during the summer time the adults left out 2 coolers full of juice and soda and me and my cousins turned it into a drive through
I didn't have one but when we went to the supermarket there would always be these cars there and you could borrow one like a shopping cart for you kid to have fun in while you walked around collecting produce. I remember my parents never borrowed them except this one time when, I don't remember why, our parents got 1 for me and my brother and we were overjoyed even though we had to share.
My older sister's had one of these before I was born, you can see it in a picture we have. I have the memory of it being stuffed in the basement in our old house, can't remember what happened to it.
But it sells really well in the UK as well. They litterally said that in the video

@@williamsmith6921 What I meant to say is that Americans keep forgetting the world does not spin around them and that videos posted on RUclips are viewed globally.
I never owned one, but they had a car combined with a cart at stores and I always used to ride in them and when my mom pushed the cart the car was attached to the front and would also go forward
I had a 4X4 of this, it was used for me and my other two siblings. Eventually tho it stoped getting used, and was just vibin in the garden for a bit, getting bleached by the sun. After a few years it got donated to a nursery, so a bunch of nursery kids use it now.
I’ve purchased 3 of these in different colors they’re 10/8/5 years old these things laser along time loved this toy so simple and kids burn their energy.
I had one, but my cousin had one of those electric two seaters. Needlesstosay I was quite jealous peddling around manually with my feet like the Flintsones.
I've actually been to the Crawford Auto Aviation Museum. I don't remember seeing the Cozy Coupe, but if you ever find yourself in Cleveland, it's a more interesting visit than it might seem.

it's like they just... spawn in our neighborhoods.
I have never bought one but I remember riding them in EVERY Walmart I've ever been in back in the day

We’re all living the same life omg
Every memory I have of seeing those things is it sitting in someone's yard sun-bleached from months and years of disuse lol
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who saw them in that state.
My mother got one for my little girl and she loved it for a couple months, it's sat in the garage in the same spot since 😅
You said it. I know what I sound like but we made things like that with old cardboard boxes? They were poor? Don't think so! And we had imagination! Piece of crap.
They were just not fun if you didn't have the space to play with them. Kids soon got bored of going round and round the patio pretty quickly.

I honestly hate the modern design change
lol mine either

There is one actual car that resembles the Cozy Coupe somewhat closely - that is if you stretch the definition of car to the limit: the Peel P50.

But, I work in child care, and there are a few of these on the playground. They are a favorite!
even to this day, I have tried to get in the car drunk.
I couldn't find one for my son this Christmas, they were all online and the dimensions seemed too small. Were these things bigger back in the day?
I actually had a purple version of that when I was younger.
Ewwww.
Cindy Helms I my dad worked at little tikes when I was growing up so my family got them for free, I remember him giving my cousins a purple one
There was a dump down the road from my place as a kid. Two bins on the side of the road. Someone threw off two of these and me being the smart crafty hands on kid I was took them home, took two and made one (took wheels off the bad one and put on the good one).Then my brother and I "drove" the thing till it literally fell apart. When we took it back to the dump it had no roof (we took it off cause we got too tall for it LOL), no door, no wheels and the "steering wheel" was locked up and well worn. We didn't want to but we had no parts and no choice. Plus we had outgrown it. Great memories of our little junker. I am just glad we got to give it a second chance to please a kid.
Ive never had a toy that was worth More than 5 Dollars
I feel that in my bones. My personal favorite is when you saved up birthday and Christmas money from other people to get something you really wanted only to have your parent 'borrow' all your money, and you never see a dime back, because "hay I feed you and keep a roof over your head so I don't owe you shit".
It’s been years now and it’s still sitting behind the shed covered in dirt and overgrown weeds
"VW Beetle"
This is probably the best marketing ever.. Ive never heard or seen one of this before ever in my life, but now Im totally thinking of buying this for my future kids
I only had sticks and stones.
I remember my Nana had a pickup truck version of this and I think the original too. The cool thing about the pickup version was that it was big enough for a 7 year old to drive and it had a trunk that worked like an extra seat and what me and my cousins would do is we would have one of us operate the pick up,while one of us sat in trunk and held onto the plastic car while the person in the plastic car enjoyed the ride.
Also what we did since it was during the summer time the adults left out 2 coolers full of juice and soda and me and my cousins turned it into a drive through
Why does he sound like a young Gilbert Gottfried.
I didn't have one but when we went to the supermarket there would always be these cars there and you could borrow one like a shopping cart for you kid to have fun in while you walked around collecting produce. I remember my parents never borrowed them except this one time when, I don't remember why, our parents got 1 for me and my brother and we were overjoyed even though we had to share.
You mean in United States? I've never seen this toy in my country.
Exactly, that was my immediate objection when the video started.
My older sister's had one of these before I was born, you can see it in a picture we have. I have the memory of it being stuffed in the basement in our old house, can't remember what happened to it.
Where?
"If you were a kid in the last 40 years, you probably have a Cozy Coupe memory."
You forgot to add "in the USA", though...
But it sells really well in the UK as well. They litterally said that in the video
@@williamsmith6921 What I meant to say is that Americans keep forgetting the world does not spin around them and that videos posted on RUclips are viewed globally.
I never owned one, but they had a car combined with a cart at stores and I always used to ride in them and when my mom pushed the cart the car was attached to the front and would also go forward
Is that the American Bobby Car?
My thoughts exactly
This is bringing back memories I didn't think I had.
"all across the globe" .... you mean america
The same thing to americans
No, it was extremely popular in the UK too
I had money, I would commission an adult size version to relive my childhood.
Please...tone it down with that voice
We have one in the back garden now and the kids love it.
I had a 4X4 of this, it was used for me and my other two siblings. Eventually tho it stoped getting used, and was just vibin in the garden for a bit, getting bleached by the sun. After a few years it got donated to a nursery, so a bunch of nursery kids use it now.
We had one of these growing up and I remember that my grandparents had a mini one for the dolls that little tikes released in the 80's
Never had it, but I used to love playing with it back when I was in preschool
We just got one the other day for my niece surprisingly. Well done Cheddar.
In my country even some shopping malls had those. While parents had to push their shopping carts the kids got to ride those cozy coupes ☺️
I wish they would make an adult version
I’ve purchased 3 of these in different colors they’re 10/8/5 years old these things laser along time loved this toy so simple and kids burn their energy.
I had one, and now my children have one. They love it!
I had one, but my cousin had one of those electric two seaters. Needlesstosay I was quite jealous peddling around manually with my feet like the Flintsones.
6:17 those shopping carts right there were my version of the cozy coupe growing up.
I had a yellow pickup toy truck similar to the Cozy Coupe, these cars were awesome
I've actually been to the Crawford Auto Aviation Museum. I don't remember seeing the Cozy Coupe, but if you ever find yourself in Cleveland, it's a more interesting visit than it might seem.
