If you're a Bluey fan and are wondering if the Grannies Car Coupe is for real life, I can assure you, yes, it's for real life!
This cozy coupe from Little Tikes is a Bluey-themed ride-on toy that's rated for kids from 18 months up to five years old (with a maximum weight limit of 50 pounds).
It works with such a big age range because it's designed to grow alongside your kids. It's got a removable floorboard inside the car to prevent your little ones' legs from dangling down.
This helps keep their feet protected if they want to drive but are still at the stage where they're just getting comfortable with sitting up and grabbing at the steering wheel.
During this stage, parents can use the sturdy handle at the back of the coupe to push the car along for a fun ride that they can control comfortably.
The floorboard can easily be removed once your toddlers' legs are long enough and they're coordinated enough to put foot to pavement, à-la Fred Flintstone.
Our three-year-old twins have logged an incredible amount of miles with their Grannies Cars, which goes to show that Bingo was right when she said, "I noticed your legs don't get quite as tired when you're having fun."
Not only are they having a blast while they're behind the wheel and embracing their inner Grannies, they're also boosting their motor skills and cutting out screen time while they're at it, which is a huge win for our household.
Develop motor skills while motoring
These Bluey buggies are a two-for-one, encouraging fun, active play AND helping with the development of their motor skills.
Many elements of the car encourage their motor skills as they play and explore the vehicle, including:
- Opening and closing the driver door when they climb in and out.
- Twisting the key in the ignition and turning the steering wheel left or right.
- Honking the working horn when other Grannies get in their way.
- Opening and closing the gas tank cover when they stop to fill up with imaginary fuel.
- Locking the driver door when they finally park their car for the night.
Encourage immersive, imaginative play
Where Grannies Car Coupe differs from other Cozy Coupes is that it has extra features that further invite immersive, imaginative play.
The working horn features familiar soundbites from episodes of Bluey that bring this car to life, taking make-believe to the next level.
When your toddlers honk their horns as they drive along, they're greeted with silly show catchphrases, like:
- "Nice parking spot, Rita."
- "I slipped on my beans!"
- "Lovely day for a drive, wouldn't you say, Rita?"
- And more.
As a side note, the horn requires two AG13 button cell batteries, which are included with the coupe, so the horn is ready to rock as soon as the set of wheels has been assembled.
This specially designed car also comes with two Bluey-inspired accessories to enhance your littles ones' imaginative play: a purple pair of driving glasses fit for a Grannie, and a can of baked beans, for all the moments you find yourself wanting to embrace your inner Heeler and playfully exclaim, "I slipped on my beans!"
The coupe is equipped with two cup holders that can be used to store the included accessories or to hold your kids' favorite beverage or snacks, so they can stay energized while they're road trippin'.
Durable design
The Bluey Grannies Car Coupe is made to stand up to the continuous energetic play that comes with having an excited toddler behind the wheel.
The sturdy driver door will stand up to the repeated (and maybe not-so-gentle) in-and-out that accompanies your kids flitting in and out of the car.
The high seat back provides steady comfort for extended play, and the coupe's durable tires are ideally designed for indoor and outdoor use, whether your kids are cruising through the kitchen, off-roading in your backyard, or driving with a parent to the playground, which was the very first thing our toddlers wanted to do after they got behind the wheel.
Let me tell you, the parent push-handle came in very handy during this adventure to make sure everyone stayed safe while we were en route to the park.
The front wheels are also designed to spin 360 degrees, making for easy navigation your toddler can control with ease.
This is perfect for the moments your mini driver decides they've made a wrong turn, they can spin and change directions on a dime without running into any issues.
Nobody will be yelling, "Oh, biscuits" while playing with their Bluey buggies, that's for sure—unless they've forgotten where they've parked their Grannie mobile.

Bluey Grannies Car Coupe by Little Tikes
A Grand Grannie Mobile
This is the Bluey Grannies Car Coupe by Little Tikes. It's rated for kids aged one to five years old and has a maximum weight capacity of 50 pounds. It encourages the development of your child's motor skills and invites immersive, imaginative play. It has a sturdy handle for parent-controlled rides and a removable floorboard that protects teeny tootsies until they can use their own foot power to get where they're going. The front wheels spin 360 degrees for easy navigation, and durable tires keep this coupe ready to rock whether it's being used indoors or outdoors. A playful color palette and adorable decals featuring Bluey and Bingo make this model one-of-a-kind.
Playful palette
Not only is this Bluey coupe a very well-designed car, it's also a very good-looking car.
This puppy (pun very-much intended) would be fit to enter any car show, if that were a thing for kiddos.
The color palette used is playful and eye-catching, pulling purple (our toddlers' favorite color, which was a huge hit), teal, and yellow to create one heck of a custom paint job for this car.
Adorable decals featuring Bluey and Bingo for the front, rear, doors, and pillars make this model one-of-a-kind—unless, like me, you have twins, and in that case, you'll WANT to have two-of-a-kind, so they can each drive their individual coupes to their heart's content.
