My 2 year old LOVES her trike. Someone
complained that the seat was too high and his kid couldn't reach
the pedals. The seat is adjustable up and down about six inches.
At the lowest setting, your kid should be able to reach the
pedals.
People complain that the handlebars don't work, but I bet they
didn't tighten the bolt correctly - or maybe they have changed the
design. Mine works perfectly with no issues at all.
This arrives in a box with about ten well wrapped parts that need
to be assembled. If you have a socket set, it will help. I had
this together in about 15 minutes - and most of that was
unwrapping the individual parts.
This is strong and well made. It will last for many many
generations without question.
The real rubber tires (not inflatable - solid rubber) make this
smooth and quiet to ride.
A helmet should be mandatory - not because your kid is likely to
be injured on this, but because it starts good habits. My life has
been saved several times by bike helmets (I have ridden a road
bike for most of my life), and I hate to see kids without helmets.
My 2 year old calls it her "bike hat" and we were able to find a
cute pink one for under $20.

My soon to be 3yr old can pedal but not very
fast and we have lots of hills in our neighborhood. Taking a walk
without a pushing rod turns a 30min walk into a 2 hour ordeal. The
cheaper tricycle's have plastic pushing rods/frames and those do
not hold up for very long. It also has real rubber wheels which
seem to grip the pavement better then plastic ones. The only
complaint I have is that the handlebar needs to be tightened quite
a bit as it can come loose. Other parts need to be re-tightened
about once a month. Otherwise it is a very good tricycle and I
recommend it to anyone looking for something better then the cheap
plastic ones.

This was the trike that we had when my
oldest boy, now 7, was just starting to ride. For nearly 3 years
we walked it across a busy intersection to get to the park that
was on the other side and the handlebar is what made this such a
doable thing. It allowed my son to ride his bike and provided me
with a means of controlling the situation for his safety. It was
obviously a very sturdy toy as well. It survived 3 years of my
rough and tumble boy and was eventually passed on to a neighbor.
The one problem with the product was its weight. It did tip over
much more easily than I would have liked which led to several
falls and even a few tantrums.
I am currently looking for a new trike for my youngest boy and
although I am doing my research, in hope of a heavier product, I
will probably come back to this one if the evidence isn't
overwhelming in support of another because I know this is a great
product.

Radio Flyers are known for their quality -
sturdy and well made. The only problem I had was of my own doing.
By the time I got my 2 year old one of these, she was ready to
ride it and I didn't really need the handle. It comes off easily
so that's not a big issue... just something to think about if you
want this model. There is a stub that the handle clicks on to that
I removed (simple with 2 screws) so that she wouldn't accidentally
fall on it, or whatever. Great bike overall.

I'm glad I chose this bike. Much more
durable than most of the others I looked at. It was easy to
assemble and the handle removes easily for times when it's not
needed.
