"love it..."2009-09-02
By Shopper of good things (The Great State of MI)
Bought this for my sister's daughter. She loved it. even tho her legs didn't quite reach the pedals, she lovedlovedloved to ride on it. My sister loved that she could help steer and push, if necessary. I love the bright colors. It looks like childhood. The seat is adjustable, so you can move it back as the legs get longer. It does take a little time to put it together, but nothing too hard...
"Big hit at the party"2009-08-09
By B. VanLeuven (Reading, Pa)
We bought this trike for our 2 yr. old grandson. He really loves it! It makes him feel like a "big" boy. He's a little short yet to peddle, but it's a great introduction to doing it on his own. It's great on the one that is doing the training as there is no bending at your back. The little bell on it is a cute little added feature as well as the the little storage unit in the back. We bought one for our other grandson a year ago and he loves it as well. Big hit at the Birthday Party!
"Strange reviews - excellent product"2009-07-25
By Baivab Mitra (Jersey City, NJ)
I am seeing reviews which do not match the product description. Maybe RadioFlyer changed their model. This is the review against 2009 model I bought for my 19 month son.
The product arrived well packed and is heavy. There are hardly ANY plastic parts, all metal. Assembling took some time, though descriptive with drawings but advice you to keep your child elsewhere while assembling! On a serious note - when attaching the front steering wheel, ensure to first put in the wheel bar (U-shaped) and then try fitting the steering handle.
Anyways - the product is SOLID and well balanced. I do not really see a need for seat harness if you're purchasing this and your child is already +18 months. There's a bell included but it's very basic and really useless. The color is red and well painted which does not seem likely to start peeling. The seat's good, steering handles are good and sturdy.
It's quite easy to steer with 1 good thing - they have curtailed the amount your child can steer - right or left. This means less chances of toppling and when I picked it up - it's very obvious the engineers have kept a low center of gravity. Picking it up for taking it down/up stairs is very simple - provisioning it by a whole in the seat back portion.
The parent's attachment is considerably long enough and thus one can easily steer it and push it forward.
There are some good thoughts they did - a child can't really pedal but they do tend to put their foot on the pedal. This does NOT stop the parent from pushing the bike. The wheels are free cruising and thus you can pedal forward.
Next, the front wheel is 10". That's considerable for this size bike. The tires though plastic look quite solid - front and back.
There's a review on the steering concept utilized. I am not sure whether it's for an older model. But there ARE NO CABLES IN THIS MODEL I BOUGHT. it's a gear system, internally located within the pipes connecting back to steering wheels and handle. It's quite stable and responsive.
"Not bad"2009-07-16
By L.I. Mom (Seaford,NY)
I bought this bike for my son's 2nd birthday and was concerned that since he is small he would not reach the pedals,he did, the seat has 3 adjustable positions so it will grow with him. My son loves it! The fact that he can rest his feet on the pedals without them moving while I push is great. I read the manufactures review comment and made sure to get this model because the previous model had steering issues, steering still is not effortless, there is a lot of play. I am able to steer and the handle bars move so it is teaching my son to steer. Quality seems good and assembly was nothing major. I have already recommended it to a friend.
