We bought pedal blocks hoping they would fit the Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike for my daughter, and they are a great fit. They are extremely easy to assemble and take off when they're ready. Only drawback is that shipping was more than the product.

With the purchase of this product we were able to buy a bike just slightly larger than what is ideal for my daughter. She would have outgrown the smaller sized bike within the next year or less. This way we were able to by a bike that she can use for several years...and for only $5! (plus shipping, ugh)

Easy to get on, made of durable materials. shipping cost nearly the amount the pedals did....

I purchased a Schwinn Easy Steer trike for my nephew about 5 months ago. He will be three in a couple weeks, is on the short side, and hasn't been able to reach the pedals -- until I put the Avenir Pedal blocks on the pedals! They did the job!

Other reviewers mentioned the difficulty in putting them on the pedals. If you remove the rubber treads from the blocks, place the blocks on either side of the pedal and then stretch the rubber tread back over the pedals it really wasn't that difficult. I worked the tread back and forth on each end until I got it completely over the blocks.

It sounded like one reviewer tried to stretch the blocks apart with the rubber tread still on the blocks. Unless you have Herculean strength, that isn't possible. Another reviewer pointed out that it came with no directions. This is true, but again, it isn't difficult if you follow the directions I mentioned above.

Cheap cheap cheap. They don't stay on they break easily and just plain cheap. Did I say cheap? These a cheap. They also smell really toxic. Don't waste your money. You'd do better just duct taping wooden blocks yourself. Same concept.

These blocks are packaged with the rubber "bands" that hold the blocks on stretched tight and they are so stretched out they do not hold the blocks on the pedals. I actually threw them away--they were worthless.

I was hopeful that this would help my son reach the pedals on his big wheel trike. Unfortunately, the rubber parts are cheaply manufactured and broke when I took them out of the bag. I will be returning them for a refund since I can't see how they would last for more than a couple of days of use by a young child. I'll make a set out of wood instead.

Worked perfectly! Served exactly it's purpose. My son was a bit too short for his bike and these were exactly the right size to make him fit on there just right. They also gave his feet a great grip so he can ride with confidence. Can't beat the price.

These pedals are very hard to use. You must stretch them to fit your pedals. They are useless - do not purchase. A waste of money.

great idea in theory, but one pedal block broke after 3 weeks. not sure if we just got a bum pair or what.
