2.0 out of 5 stars
Misleading advertising on age, disappointed, August 1, 2010
= Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Radio Flyer 2 in 1 Trike (Toy)
I am rating this down because of misleading advertising. I bought this for a granddaughter after her parents bought her a regular trike that she loves and rides everywhere. She 2.5 and is at the 90 %ile for height, so I thought the recommended age of 24 months should be good, especially when advertised that in "chopper" mode, it can go up to age 7 or so.
We gave it to her one afternoon as a surprise. She was delighted and jumped right on. We had it set up in upright mode. She could only just barely touch the pedals. There is no adjustment in upright mode, so, trying to salvage everyone's disappointment, we flipped it over. She thought that was cool and again, jumped right on. But even in the shortest position, she could not make enough contact to make it go. She quickly lost interest and went off to something else. It's now 5 months later and she still cannot make it go. I am very upset by this misleading advertising. Now I see that several others have reported the same thing. I wish I had read more of the reviews.
For me, the wheels are too hard. They are very noisy and do not get enough traction on hard surfaces. Most of the weight is in the rear.
The twist idea is great. She loved it and will still play with flipping it over, but will not ride it.
It looks great and appears to be well made. When she is older and able to ride it, I will post an update.

This review is from: Radio Flyer 2 in 1 Trike (Toy)
My 2 year old LOVES this bike. It is a great size for a 2 year old. The bike is kind of tall compared to other trikes for this age group, so he feels like he is riding a "big boy" bike.
My husband cursed a little more than usual while assembling it, but overall the assembly process looked easy enough to me.
Highly reccomend this bike!!!!

My son loves this trike, however after converting it to a trike and adjusting the seat back and forth between the 3 available positions, he began complaining that it was hurting his lower back, he asked me to take the seat off, the next morning I discovered while giving him his bath that he had 3 nasty looking bruises on his lower back from the seat rest. Just something everyone should be aware of.
