First we are the parents of twin boys and decided to buy this car Fall 2014 after the grandparents bought an older model Cozy Coupe.  My husband is pretty handy and didn't have any trouble putting the car together even with both the boys fighting over the box and the pieces in the box.  Assembly was more difficult than some toys but anyone with some patients can figure it out. The boy prefer the new model over the old because of the ignition switch feature.
