Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Ideal for multi-kid families or children who love to ride with friends, the Kettler tandem insert turns your single Kettler tricycle into a tricycle built for two (or three or four). The insert's modular build fits any S-frame Kettler trike, and is custom designed for expansion. In other words, you can buy two or three inserts and turn your child's trike into a stretch tricycle. The insert's innovative Quick-Adjust knob makes installation quick, easy, and secure, while the spacious high-impact resin bucket seat is comfortable and form fitting. As a final detail, each insert includes an extra pair of handlebars and footrests. The tandem insert is also backed by a three-year warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars What it is, May 4, 2004

Somebody wrote a review wanting to know what this is. It is an additional seat that you can attach to the adjustable kettrikes(type of tricycle), so you can have two children, one behind the other, on the same tricycle. The child that sits in this insert will use the original kettrikes pedals and handle bars and the second child will sit in the original kettrike seat and use the foot rests and the handle bars on this insert. I hope this is helpful and a little less confusing then the description given on the webpage.

The previous reviews do not do this product justice.

First of all you MUST HAVE a Kettler trike BEFORE you judge the tandem insert, if you don't then why would you need it? Why comment on something you don't own / or even need?

No, this insert does not fit the Air Happy, or any of the "Air" trikes, most websites will tell you that (except this one) Toy R Us fault, not tandem insert's

Where's the seat belt?
They are sold seperately. But most kids who are old enough to ride a trike don't need a seat belt. My little one is 18mths and she can hold on very well (back seat rider)

Not safe?
Maybe not for those people who don't let their kids touch dirt b/c of the micro-organisms it contains.

The Kettler trike has weight limit of <<<< 400 lbs >>>
it has a steel frame, heck I have ridden it a time or two, it has a height adjustable frame, it is easy to assemble and disassemble--fits in the trunk of my Honda, and it doesn't tip over like other trikes ((good when kids are just learning to get on/off))

Besides what other trike do you know can accommodate two chunky tots? Or one chunky tot and a mom who has fun with her kids?

I love it!! correction WE love it!!

Obviously over half of the reviewers dont even own a kettrike! One review even explains how bicycle seats arent safe, this is not for an adult bike, please read the description or own the product before you review it and give it a bad rating which it doesnt deserve. Yes it doesnt fit on the air kettrikes (we have 2 sets of twins, 2 kettrikes, the air jumbo and the happy navigator). It is great to accomidate one of my 3 year old drivers, and one of their little brothers. I could even buy up to FOUR seats so five kids could ride! (I probably wouldnt but its nice knowing that you can!) It is GREAT. I have yet to see any other trike accomidate TWO kids at the same time! And I mean safely, not like the radio flyers that one kid stands and one kids drives, this is WAY cooler! Okay this is how it works, You place this insert between the two pieces of the kettrike that come apartt. The "drivers" pedals and steers the bike by using the kettrikes original handle bars and pedals, and using the inserts seat. The second kid is basically along for the ride. They use the original kettrikes seat, and this inserts handle bars and "pedals", (they dont really move but my kids still call them pedals). It is VERY easy to take on and off. I love it and so do my kids. I am very dissapointed in many of the angrey reviews who obviously dont own this product OR a kettrike! I recomend ALL the kettrike accesories and DEFINATLY this one. (I may even purchase another kettrike without air tires to get another one!)
