5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy & easy to install (can be used on Jumbos w/ adapter ), April 26, 2005

I thought that potential consumers out there would like to know that this push bar CAN be used on the Jumbo Kettrike. Like the previous reviewer, I bought the Jumbo Kettrike and yes, the push bar does not fit. However, I called Kettler USA (you can find them online) and I was told that I needed an adapter (looks like a connector of some kind made of plastic) which they sent free of charge. The instructions are a little obscure but it makes it easier when both the seat and the bucket are taken off the trike before installing the adapter. It took me less than 15 mins (I spent more time trying to understand the pictures-only instructions!). Overall, it's one of the better push bars out there. Height is adjustable and everything fits into place and there are no wobbles (assuming you put everything together properly!)

Like the kettrike this bar is made well. It does NOT fit all kettrikes - I have the Jumbo Model and it will not work.

My MIL bought my daughter a Kettler tricycle, I believe at Toys R Us, for around $39. I was surprised and happy they make a Kettler trike in a lower price range, and it even came with a yellow bucket/trailer behind the seat for storing stuff. My daughter was 2-1/2 (she's small, too) and was not "getting" the concept of keeping her feet on the pedals, so I spent some back-breaking time leaned over, pushing her down the block on the thing so I could push and steer at the same time.

When I found out the push bar was only $16, I went for it, not even knowing if it would attach to the low-end model. IT DID!!! Right where the seat is mounted, there is a rounded-yet-triangular tubular opening, that's where the bar slides in. I was soooo impressed that all the models have interchangeable parts like that, what great design.

The best news is that within ONE DAY of me pushing my daughter with the bar (telling her to keep her feet on the pedals as I push), she was able to understand how to keep her feet on the pedals by herself and actually pedalled it herself!

The directions say not to use the bar as a lever to lift the trike at all, but I lift it all the time in order to correct my daughter's amateur attempts at steering! So far, so good.

This bar has enabled us to actually use our wonderful Kettler tricycle... it helped my daughter learn to pedal within one day, and has saved my back!
