Gearing Up For Summer #10: Little Tikes Spray & Rescue Fire Truck Review and Giveaway

It's important to me that my kids have quality toys that we can depend on lasting us through the wear and tear of daily use. One of the companies we always know we can turn to and trust is Little Tikes. They are very well known and offer an amazing selection of children's products. Little Tikes has been bringing families innovative children's products since 1970, which means 2010 marks their 40th anniversary! Offering everything from sandboxes and ride on toys to dollhouses and children's furniture, they have created a line of products that parents have come to trust and turn to time after time.
With summer around the corner I've been drooling over the large selection of outdoor toys Little Tikes offers. As Kaelyn gets older and is able to enjoy doing more and more things outside, I was thrilled to find ride on toys, climbers, swing sets and more. I couldn't have been happier when I learned we were going to have the opportunity to review their new Little Tikes Spray & Rescue Fire Truck.
Features:

• Foot-to-floor ride on has a friendly smiling face that children adore
• Pressurized water tank and hose really squirts water
• Water tank is easily removed for easy filling and holds up to 2 gallons of water
• Cool retro styling
• Easy assembly
• Ages 1 1/2 to 5 years

It arrived at the perfect time, as the weather was finally beginning to warm up here. I was excited to get it put together and let Kaelyn test it out. My hubby put it together in no time and said it was very easy to assemble. The instructions were clear and there weren't too many pieces to put together.




Kaelyn was so excited to test out her new Spray & Rescue Fire Truck! I mean, what kid doesn't want to play firefighter?! She absolutely loves this adorable fire truck and so do I. Once it was all put together it offered more features and was cuter than I even expected it to be. Once again, Little Tikes did not disappoint. Aside from the fact that it's great quality, it also offers unique and fun features that kids of all ages would love!


The biggest hit has been the pressurized water tank and hose that really squirts water. All we had to do was fill the tank with water (it holds up to 2 gallons, so it lasts a long time), pump it, and start spraying!

Her favorite thing to do is help water the plants with her fire hose...it has made her feel like such a big helper and is adorable to watch!

When the hose is not in use, it simply slides into a hold in the back of the fire truck so it is out of the way when she is riding in it.

There is nothing I have found that I don't like about the Little Tikes Spray & Rescue Fire Truck. It is made very well and helps spark creativity and encourages pretend play. Once again, Little Tikes has created an adorable and fun product that kids of all ages can use and enjoy. I would highly recommend the Spray & Rescue Fire Truck to any family with younger children. It offers hours of fun when playing outdoors.
