1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed by this Flimsy, Hard-to-Assemble Toy, June 24, 2009

This review is from: Girl's Original 16" Big Wheel® (Misc.)

Several problems with assembly: I had to use a cordless drill to bore out plastic left over from the molding process that was preventing me from attaching the rear axle; As others have mentioned, the pedals have been impossible to assemble correctly as the crude washer blocks the axle as it tries to fit into the pedal (you'll see what I mean if you're unfortunate enough to buy one); and the small fittings that attach to the fork and hug the big wheel had no pilot holes for the screws, once again necessitating the cordless drill.
It's flimsy, as well. Even though my daughter can't use the pedals because they're still screwed up because of the washer, as she pushes it along with her feet the front wheel--aka Big Wheel--is loosening from the pedals because of the shoddy way they have you put it together. I'm getting different washers for the pedals and will try them, but at this point I can't recommend this incarnation of the Big Wheel. I guess the secret craft of the Ancients regarding Big Wheel construction was lost in the late 70s, and now we're left with this crappy, cobbled together imitation.

2.0 out of 5 stars Child must be at least 40 inches to ride, May 3, 2009

My child is 40 inches, and can barely reach the peddles. Make sure your kid is 40-41 inches at least to be able to ride. I wish I had known this instead of just 3-8 years old on the box.

[...]. Even though this product is held out as"the original big wheel", it is no where near as sturdy or as fun. I have a three year old and a six year old. The peddles are too far for the 3 yr old, but I dont think that really matters since my six year old could barely get it to move. The front wheel constantly slips, and makes it impossimle to peddle over a hairline crack in the pavement. After 2two hours, the toy was a mishaped piece of plastic, with the fork bent, the handle bars drooping, and the back falling off of the seat. I wish that I could claim this experience as an aberration, but I have assembled two of these (too much infor for this review). [...].
