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!

This bar might be great, but be careful before buying. I bought 2 Kettler Go Green fold n'go tricycles (1 for me, 1 for the ex) fro Toys R Us, and was amazed when I opened the carton there was no pushbar. I was told it used to come with one, but no longer does (not sure if the price was reduced for no p/b though). So I searched all over the internet including Kettler's own website, to find this pushbar and read reviews saying it worked for the fold n/go's. Guess what - works for the fold n'go's, but according to Kettler customer service, not the Go Green fold n'go's. Apparently customers complained the bar that came with was not "green" like the bike, so the mfg stopped supplying it with the trike! The Go Green has a smaller opening for the bar, so this bar is too big. Only place to get a bar is Kettler direct for [...]. Have tor eturn this one. Hope I don't pay shipping!

We bought a second hand kettler trike and then this push bar from amazon, only to discover the trike we have is an older model and requires a different attachment which was only available from the Kettler parts department, so check it fit the model you have first! I gave it 5 stars cause when you get the right one for your trike it works like a dream!

Works great with the go green trike. I love the handle because it totally saves my back as I push my daughter around on her trike. The 4 positions of the push bar is great too because I can use it (I am 5'4) and my husband can too (he is 6'5)

I have no issue with the actual pushbar itself...I think it's great, and all the Kettler products are very sturdy & well worth the money. HOWEVER, what Amazon does not tell you is that this pushbar is only compatible with Kettler trikes manufactured after 2003! I learned the hard way, by purchasing it & having to call Kettler USA's customer service dept when I couldn't figure out how to attach the pushbar. Very disappointed that Amazon fails to advertise this. I want to make sure others don't make the same mistake!

Pushbar is a good feature to add on!

It's best to get the Kettler pushbar directly from Kettler 800 number as they do have different push bar for different model/year of Kettler trike. The cost may end up to be similar as you order online and the pushbar takes apx 3-6 business day to arrive.

F.Y.I. After waiting 2 months for this PUSH BAR to arrive, I discovered that it doesn't work on the EX KIDDIO SUPERTRIKE 1 model #8142-899C M.D.0605V1. 'Called Kettler to find that there isn't an adapter for the EX KIDDIO available...somewhat disappointing since the PUSH BAR would probably be nice to have-(less back strain during the "learning phase")! 'Have to return the "already assembled" trike for a much more expensive one-or return the long-awaited PUSH BAR!

This handlebar works well with the Ketter Go Green tricycle, and is great for pushing along our young toddler who can't pedal yet.
