Hi, my son has a little tykes red car bed and we lost two of the wheels during a move. I just called little tykes to order replacements and guess what...they don't have them! This bed was not cheap and I really hate that the wheels are missing. Any thoughts on how I could get new ones (or old)? He really loves this bed so I would love to fix it for him! Thanks for all of your help!

What can I do next?

I would try Ebay and www.craiglslist.com you can post an ad there (it's free) saying you are looking for those parts and you can also look through their selling ads to see if someone is selling them

We have that car and my son loves it so I hear ya!

Have you looked on Ebay or something for someone selling a bed cheap? You could offer to buy the bed and then jsut ask them to send the wheels to it. Not sure how that would work, but that's my best guess!! Good luck!

Hi J.,
I can't believe LT doesn't have the replacement parts. Have you searched the internet, which to me doesn't sound to promising either. The only thing I can think of is look on Craigslist. I see a lot of people selling their LT car beds on there. It might be a pricey option, but you'll get the parts that you are looking for. Good luck, I hope your son gets his bed back soon.

I don't know if you have heard of freecycle, but it is the site you can go to get free stuff and also give away free stuff. They have a local group in Woodbridge. You can sometimes find or get some of the most odd ball things and someone may have just what you are looking for. What you will do if you are interested is go to www.freecycle.org then you will do a search for your area and you have to join the local yahoo group. There are rules for it that keep you from getting scammed and somewhat safe. I hope this helps you.

You could join freecycle & post a wanted. Also check Craig's list & consignment shops. Can you put it by the wall & stand the other side up?

I looked online and it appears that the product may not be available now because they are sold out on Amazon....but it could only be for now and they will get more in....Did you ask if they can expect to have more available in the future?

If it was me i would look on ebay. I would also check on the site you looked and see if any bed similar has the same wheels. They won't suggest them because they don't want to sell you parts to another bed and either your not happy, they cause you to not buy a new bed if yours is out of production. They want to sell you the parts for YOUR bed since you have it (this would cause a happy customer of a owned product) and if they have parts for another bed and not selling them is going to cause you to by another product of theirs they want that. But if they don't have the wheels i would check on ebay or craigs list. More than likely though they will be for sale on ebay. Ebay is your best bet those people expect to ship so you can search further away. Sometimes they will ship on craigs list but it's harder to search. You can also list on there what you are looking for. Some people list things and it doesnt' sell and they would be willing to sell the wheels. thanks and Good luck.

The best thing I can think of is to keep an eye out at consignment shops and maybe put an ad on craigslist or something.
