How I turned this Little Tikes Cozy Coupe and Wagon into a photoshoot ready Pickup Truck!

Before

After

Last winter, I saw a ton of Little Tikes Cozy Coupes made over styled with a Christmas tree. The cutest photo op for littles ones, however with only one seat, you are limited to one child at a time. 

I loved the car but thought how do I accommodate more kids? or pets? I needed it on a bigger scale. Then I had a great idea to make one into a vintage truck! I immediately searched the internet for everything kids vintage trucks, little tikes makeovers etc. 

After a failed search for a product that didn't exist I knew I would have to make it myself. I hopped on facebook marketplace where I purchased a pink little tikes cozy coupe for $10 and a wagon for $20 

What you need

• Little Tike Cozy Coupe (any version)
• Little Tikes Wagon (I was lucky to find one thats height matched the car)
• Spray Paint - 2 cans of Tremclad in Gloss Regal Red and one a can of Tremclad in Gloss Chestnut 
• Bed frame caster (we had one in our garage, I just linked the cheapest one on google) 

Step by step

1. Take all pieces apart and clean them. Remove the handle from the wagon. Optional to remove wheels for paint prep
2. Once dry use 220+grit sand paper and lightly sand all surfaces and any imperfections and wipe dust away
3. We drilled holes into the back of the coupe & into the metal of the caster to be able to attach the caster as our hitch. I decided on having a removable hitch because I wanted to be able to transport in two pieces.
4. Cut an opening in the bottom of the coupe for easy access to our fastening screws
5. PAINT! I chose to paint the side rails of the wagon brown to emulate wood on a vintage truck (two coats of each)
6. Assemble & Style!
