Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Great for toddlers, this tricycle has amazing child friendly features. A removable stroller-style push handle allows adults to push the trike from behind, and steer the front wheels. Kids love ringing the handle bell and putting toys or snacks in the convenient storage bin. Durable tires with molded grip tread make it easy to ride over any terrain. An adjustable seat allows the tricycle to grow with your child.

Product Description

Perfect for the young trike-rider, this innovative model from Radio Flyer offers some remarkable features that both children and adults are sure to love. The removable, 4-position push handle on the steering wheel enables you to turn the front wheel while your child rides. When she's old enough to steer on her own, you can remove it. The freewheeling pedals allow your child to coast while you push, and the sturdy, tubular steel frame has flip-down foot rests. Also features 10-inch front wheel, durable molded wheels with grip tread, soft removable cargo pack, adjustable seat and ringing bell. Measures approximately 30" x 21.5" x 23".

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great bike!!!!, July 15, 2002

By	Julie Russell - See all my reviews

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

We just got this bike earlier this week, but not only does my 20 month old son love this bike, but both of his parents do too!!! The qualities that I was looking for when I research a bike for my son were:
a push handle for mom and dad,
durable,
safe,
seatbelt, and
adjustable seat so he could grow with the bike.
This bike not only has a push handle, but one better, a steering handle. My son doesn't really know how to push the pedals yet, so he sits and holds on and mom and dad can actually push AND steer the bike - what a GREAT feature. This bike is mostly metal and I feel that it will be very durable (I can't actually tell for sure since we have only used it a week). The bike also seems safe, we haven't had any spills yet. Seat belt - this bike didn't come with a seat belt, but we really didn't need one after all, he is sitting just fine on the bike. Ajustable seat - it can be adjusted to three different positions in relation to the handle bars (note: no vertical adjustment only horizontal).

The advertisement also mentions a place for the child to put their feet. We really aren't finding the location of this feature to be useful. It is too far back on the bike for my son to feel comfortable to put his feet there. BUT when assembled correctly (I put the front pedal on backwards to begin with) the front pedals won't turn without being pushed so they are like foot rests until he gets the hang of pedaling.
Also, this bike has great colors, a little pouch to store those wonderful collectables (rocks, etc.) picked up along the way, and made by a reputable company (Radio Flyer).

Assembly was quite easy (just make sure you put the front tire on correctly - facing the right way). The hubcaps were a bit troublesome, but ok overall.

This bike had many of the same features of the more expensive [price] range bikes, but we only paid about [price] for this one.
I am highly recommending the Radio Flyer Steer and Stroll to all I know with kids this age range.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Quality, October 23, 2006

By	K. Seong (SF,CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Radio Flyer Deluxe Steer & Stroll® Trike (Toy)

I regret this purchase. The handle bar doesn't steer well. It keeps making a loud clicking noise when you force it. It is now not true. The white plastic wheel cover is held together poorly - only a plastic male-female snap connection is holding it together. The pedals have slipped off. The plastic that was securing them have cracked. There is also the clicking noise even when the wheels are turning.

In short, it's a very cheaply made product. Waste of money if you want any long-term use out of this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Radio Flyer Disapointment, November 4, 2003

By	Russell DuVall (Torrance, Ca. United States) - See all my reviews

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

I don't know where to really start, ok i must admit i fell for the brand name thinking it would be a quality product boy was i wrong. I should know better to fall for that type of thing due to working in retail but hey im a new parent. Anyway lets start with its construction, parental bar that steers the front wheel! This can't be good, if you want a parental bar i suggest one that doesnt affect the front wheel like the Kiddio trike or Kettrike.
Now for the seat, how it bolts to the frame is ridiculous go to Toys-r-us and you'ill see what i'm talking about. The handlebars, when tightening the clamp to secure them it broke! Fixed it with an extra bolt i had in my tool box. Oh yeah last but not least it has no brakes, meaning your child can't pedal backwards. Plus the bell on it is very cheap. So there you have it, i ended up taking this peice of junk back to Toys-r-us for a refund and ended up buying the Ex Kiddio Supertrike 1 for just $29.99 and a bell for $3.99 now i'm happy and so is my son. I hope this review helps someone from making the same mistake i did.
