My mother bought this tricycle for my daughter's 2nd birthday, and we were so excited putting it together because she's crazy about Dora. Two of the stickers ripped in half when I tried to peel them off the paper, even though I was careful, so I wasn't too happy about that. The buttons are also very loud, which is probably okay if you're outside, but I would like to have a switch to turn the volume down for indoor use.

Everything else aside, however, my biggest problem came when my daughter tried to ride her new bike. She is 35 inches tall (75th percentile), yet only one foot reached a pedal...it will be several more months before she can even begin to use this tricycle. The seat was on the closest setting, too. We'll be returning this product if possible and getting a bike designed for 18 months to 3 years.

I did not buy this item on amazon, but came to the site for a review. I was almost discouraged and almost did not purchase the item because of the first reviewer's comments on the assembly difficulty and the suggestion that power tools are needed. I am glad I did not listen. The assembly was fairly simple and only a phillips head screw driver and hammer are required. The bike is great and was worth the hour it took to put together. I think the first reviewer may not have lined up the holes properly on the handlebars and thought he/she needed to drill his/her own hole. Or maybe the product was defective. Who knows? All I can tell you is that my experience was different and the toy is great. My [...] niece LOVES it.

I bought this trike from Toys R Us this past weekend for my just turned 4 year old daughter.
Assembly was easy and the sounds it offers on the dashboard area were very cute and loud enough to hear as your little one pedals about.
Only draw back is that the adjustable seat is awfully close to the frame. My daughter kept hitting her knees on the handlebars. And when I adjust thye seat to a lower position, she has a hard time pedaling, and she is pretty tall. Another drawback is that the wheels are make of plastic, and when she begins to pedal, the wheel "slips" on the cemenet and doesnt get well traction and which can be a bit upseting for kids.
So I actually returned the trike and got one with ribber wheels. Now my faughter is very pleased with the new exchange!!

Purchased for Christmas on sale online for more than 50% off one week before Christmas for 2 yr old even though I knew my daughter would be too small to reach the pedals, but she loves Dora. It was very easy to assemble and my husband was able to put together in less than 30 min and he's not one who enjoys assembling things, but there were no complaints about this one. The stickers are not that durable, but they are stickers so I wasn't disappointed or surprised as I had read previous reviews. She enjoys the sounds and music from the buttons and likes to scoot around on it. She will also stretch to reach one pedal and move a little then stretch to reach the other pedal to move a little more :-). Her 5 yr old brother also pushes her around on it. Overall I would recommend product to anyone.

My 3 1/2 year old got this for Christmas. She can reach pedals on the seats closest setting and she is on the small size for her age. She enjoys all the sounds it makes! We try to make this an only outside toy, so the sounds are not too bad. She LOVES the basket, always taking something in it when we go for a ride. She is just learning, but we hope since the seat is adjustable it will grow with her.
Update - She is now 4 yrs old and still LOVES it. The seat is still on the closest setting. Took her awhile to get the coordination of pedaling and steering at the same time, but she loves riding while I walk!

We bought this for our 20 month old for Christmas, she loves Dora, and she is very active. Unfortunaltly the pedals are a few inches too far away from her feet even on the highest seat setting. She still loves to sit and "walk" herself around on it, but I think pedaling is 6 mos to a year off in the future. Great trike though! She loves the little basket and is quickly learning the "turning right" and "turning left" from the blinker buttons.

We bought this trike for my daughter's second birthday. Although the trike states that it is appropriate for 2-year-olds, she cannot reach the pedals. She is average sized.

Assembly was easy and took less than an hour, although trying to follow the pictures to add the stickers was a bit difficult. Within 48 hours, every sticker that had to go around a curve had peeled away from the surface. We are now minus most of the Dora stickers and all of the wheel stickers.

My daughter loves the lights and sounds and we do not find the sounds to be too irritating or loud for the indoors. She uses her feet to push herself around, and we look forward to the day she grows into the pedals - though it could be 6 months to a year!

my daughter got it for her second birthday and loves it.
The problem is assembling it. If you dont have power tools dont buy it. It says on the box that you just need a hammer and screwdriver but you need an electric screwdriver for assembly because in one of the parts you have to screw through the plastic and make a hole that should be there to begin with.
It is a nice toy though, she loves the music.

We purchased the Trike for our 3 year old daughter. The assembly was fairly easy. However, the plastic wheels have zero traction which makes it extremely difficult for her to ride. She's ended up pushing with her legs the majority of the time. Although she loved the sounds/lights/buttons, it's not practical for riding. We were very disappointed in the quality and would not buy again.

My daughter loves the bike. She loves the Turn signals that light up and all the other sounds the bike make. I also like that its a full sized trike not a small little bike. She will not outgrow this as quickly as the other ones. all together great bike
