Toddler Toy
Luxury Sport Coupe
This year Step2 took the classic kid-powered coupe and gave it some fun styling
on the outside and a luxury feel on the inside. The grill, hubcaps and door
handles are metallic silver. The bucket seats and steering wheel are made to
look like leather. Push the square button on the steering wheel and hear the
sound of the engine revving (that’s why the car requires batteries). The
dashboard has a lot of detail for a toddler car, including clicking dials. The
door opens and closes. It’s easy to see why the Luxury Sport Coupe by Step2 got
the highest overall score — it’s big, red, and moves around! It’s also perfect
for playing pretend. As one teacher told me, “The kids like going to grandma’s
house or to get something to eat. Sometimes, they’re just going!” Like other
Step2 toys, this one is sturdy and built to last. Teachers told me the Luxury
Sport Coupe is built low to the ground, so you don’t have to worry about it
tipping over. “That means kids feel very secure in it,” one teacher said.
(Requires 2 AAA batteries.)
