This review is from: Kiddio Supertrike 4 (Toy)
I wrote my initial review, below, almost 3 years ago, and now I think "That's all I paid for this trike?" It was definitely worth it. How pleasant it is when you feel like you've actually gotten your money's worth from something! The trike has now been through both my daughter and my son, and it's still in such good shape that this Spring it is going to be passed on to a cousin. The trike garnered plenty of raves from other parents along the way with regard to the push pole and the easy rolling pnuematic tires. After 3 years of use by two kids, I'd still highly recommend this trike.April 21, 2002 - I purchased the Supertrike 4 after seeing the top-of-the-line Kiddio trikes at the mall. I was impressed by the features, but the cost was a little high. I am very happy with the combination of features and value offered by the Supertrike 4. The seat, inflatable rubber tires, "dump truck" bed, and hand brake are identical to the higher end Kiddio trikes. The design is not as "tank-like", but it looks to me that the Super Trike 4 is very strong, and actually will be a bit lighter than the higher end versions. The grey/blue/yellow color scheme is a little less vibrant. I was also happy that the push bar comes included with the price of the trike, not as a separate purchase. The bar works well. My daughter is a tall 2 1/2 year old, and in the shortest seat position (there are two), the trike is just a bit too long, so there is plenty of room to grow. The rubber tires are smooth and quiet on my driveway, and I even pushed her around the grass. The steering is limited so the front tire can't rotate too much and cause a tip hazard. The trike seems very stable. Unlike the more expensive versions, the front wheel cannot free wheel, so your child always has to pedal, or take their feet off the pedals. Tools are provided for assembly, which took me about 45 minutes. The directions are fairly clear. Hopefully this will save people some time: The seat has a 3-point safety harness, and the procedure is to screw the harness to the seat. The assembly instructions show holes in the harness straps and seat. They don't exist. Little indents in the plastic seats indicate where you should put the screws. It turns out you can just screw right through the nylon strap with no problem, so you don't need the holes in the strap. The plastic of the seat gives and then forms a tight fit with the screw. So you don't need the holes there either. It took me a few minutes to stop looking for the holes and just try it. Overall my daughter seems very happy with the Supertrike 4, it seems well-built, and I am happy with the features for the price.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kiddio Supertrike 4 (Toy)
Wow-weeee! I am so impressed with this trike. I bought this model after reading numerous reviews of all the Kettler trikes on Amazon. I had never heard of or seen this brand before. I...The front wheel is 10" the rear wheels are 8" and the width of the wheels are 3 1/2" and 2 1/2" respectively. The rear wheel base is 19 1/2" from the outer aspects of the tires. I was a bit nervous about putting the trike together, but I found it to be easy. The ONLY tool you need is something to open the box and plastic part bags! There are no words, no picture list for the parts, and only 7 photos to review. It took me at the most 40 minutes to put together ( I wasn't trying to hurry). I think the appearance is rugged and playful-perfect for boys or non-frilly girls. The basin at the back can tip to the ground for dumping or stay clipped up behind the seat. It is plenty big to gather all sorts of items for hauling (except heavy things). The parent bar is super! It has 3 height adjustments and can be simply removed at its base with one hand. The remaining attachment has a plastic plug cover/smooth egdes. The child controlled brake may provide some educational as well as safety value. I chose this trike for its stability and high seatback. My 33 mo. old son has mild cerebal palsy and I wanted the utmost in stability and safety features for him. I'm not sure how helpful the belt will be as he learned how to hook and unhook it, as well as remove the locking clip from the strap in a matter of minutes! Nonetheless, I couldn't be more impressed with this trike. The trike glides more smoothly than you could imagine and it is whisper quiet! It is worth every single penny, no question about it! I love how my son sits lower to the ground and that the front wheel has a limited turning radius(about 4') to prevent tip overs. Thank goodness there are excellent choices beyond the classic red trike I had as a kid. By the way, I wouldn't recommend that to any parent, forget nostalgia; plain and simple, it's unsafe and uncomfortable. Buy this trike and you'll be very pleased!

This review is from: Kiddio Supertrike 4 (Toy)
We bought this for our 2 and a half year old because it was out on the floor of our local [store] and she just climbed onto it and started to go. I thought it was kind of expensive so I came home and checked the ratings on Amazon before I bought it. It was very easy to put together and came with all the tools you need right in the box (can you believe that?!) It is very stable and strong, my 10 year old and 8 year old get a kick out of riding it too! The real rubber tires are very quiet and it has a brake which at first I thought was silly. Then my 16 year old showed her how to use it by playing a "hit the brake" game as he pushed her with the pushbar. I think this is going to make it easier for her to learn to use the handbrake on a two wheeler which my 8 year old has had a lot of trouble with. She loves the big basket in the back and the seatbelt. She also loves the red bell and front basket that we got from Kettler. We've had all kinds of trikes and bikes over the years, this is the best I've ever seen. Well worth the money!
