Kids love making things their own. Whether it's a Cozy Coupe, a battery-powered Jeep, or a pedal trike, a few small upgrades can turn a regular ride-on into their favourite thing in the world.
Custom Number Plates
This is where we come in. Our Cozy Coupe (90×50 mm) plate is sized to fit the moulded number plate slot on a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe. Stick it on the front, back, or both with adhesive tape and it slots right in. Read more about the Cozy Coupe size.
Popular plate ideas for kids:
- Their first name: "EVIE", "JACK", "MIA"
- A fun title: "THE.BOSS", "SPEED.1", "VIP"
- Their age: "IM.3", "IM.4"
We also make L & P plates in the Cozy Coupe size - a little yellow L plate or green P plate on a ride-on is ridiculously cute.
Stickers and Decals
Racing stripes, flame decals, or character stickers can transform a plain ride-on into something that matches your kid's personality. Look for weatherproof vinyl stickers that won't peel in the sun.
Pair a set of decals with a custom plate for a complete makeover - see our colour combinations guide for ideas.
Wing Mirrors and Aerials
Some ride-ons come without mirrors. Aftermarket clip-on mirrors (often sold for prams) can be repurposed to give that "real car" look. A bendy aerial from a craft store adds another authentic touch.
A Horn or Sound System
Battery-powered horns and bluetooth speakers designed for bikes can be cable-tied to a ride-on. Kids love pressing buttons, and a working horn takes playtime to the next level.
Why Kids Love It
There's something about personalisation that makes kids feel ownership. When their ride-on has their name on a plate, it's not just a toy - it's their car. We hear from parents all the time who say their child now "checks on" their car every morning.
Looking after the plate is easy too - just follow our simple care tips to keep it looking fresh.
