1.0 out of 5 stars Good Concept, But Has a Disastrous Flaw August 8, 2011

By Matthew Schenker VINE™ VOICE

Durability: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   

After taking a look at reviews here on Amazon, and comparing several starter tricycles for my daughter, we decided to go with this model. It has some good points, but also several problems.

First the good points:
- Fairly easy to put together (instructions are even decent)
- Paint is applied nicely, with no chipping
- Being able to control the bike while walking it is great, and the parent steering wheel can be removed later
- Good for teaching your child to get confident on a tricycle
- Can replace a stroller for downtown walks

Some small problems:
- The wheels are made of hard plastic. They are fairly thin. After just a bit of use, I see significant wear. Inflatable tires would be much better.
- The tricycle will suddenly emit an ear-piercing screech. It's very difficult to pinpoint where the sound is coming from. I've been able to stop this by applying WD-40 or other lubricant to all the moving parts. The sound goes away for a while, then comes back again.

*** IMPORTANT ***
One very big problem:
The handlebar stem connects to the front wheel with an inadequate and potentially dangerous system. The two parts are joined with a clip that you tighten with a screwdriver. This clip is then covered with a piece of decorative plastic so you don't see it. The problem is, the clip loosens over time. At some unpredictable point, the handlebar and front wheel separate and the tricycle collapses. This happened to us on a trip. Fortunately, our daughter was not riding when this happened, as it would surely have caused injury. Still, I had to carry the tricycle in four parts for the rest of the trip. I re-installed the clip. Then I removed the decorative cap so I can see the clip.... Now I check the clip before each trip to make sure it's fully tightened. This is a major defect in the construction and should be immediately replaced with a stronger bolt or screw assembly.

Conclusion:
This offers some great learning and confidence-building potential. But the dangerous clip assembly needs attention and brings the overall rating of this product down to the lowest level. If they fixed this problem, it would be rated much higher.

I'll be contacting the manufacturer for an explanation of the problem. I'll request a replacement or upgrade of this tricycle and will report back on my progress. Read more ›

We purchased this trike for my daughter's 2nd birthday. It was a big hit! It was simple to assemble, and seems very durable. The steer bar is VERY HANDY, and works well for pushing an steering the trike. I'm very happy with this trike and would highly recommend it.

This is thee best beginner bike for toddlers. They think they are riding the bike themselves and when they can ride the bike themselves they are entertained all day long!

We were looking for a beginner bikes for our 2-year-old and also our 6-year-old child with Down Syndrome. It works great for both- and the seat is adjustable so both of them fit the same size bike, on different settings (we bought one for each). Great learning tool for both, and they are having fun learning to ride a bike together. Would highly recommend this bike.

Great trike for young children who are pushed but when they are riding on their own they can't stop easy. The bike keeps rolling since there is no way to back pedal. It is made to be pushed.

I got this tricycle for my daughter on Christmas and it made a great gift.

The quality of the materials is very good, sturdy plastic and solid metal tubing makes it not like a toy but rather like a real bicycle, the instructions are very easy to read and had it assembled in a breeze (my daughter helped out). The best thing I like is that I can control the steering and the fact that the pedals don't turn is a plus.

However, the best thing I like about this tricycle is that it is so well balanced, it does not tip over, my daughter has used other tricycles that tip over and fall when not moving and turning the handlebar all the way to the left or the right, this tricycle does not tip over and fall. I think it has to do with the base of the back wheels, if the back-base is too narrow or too wide it is destined to unbalance and fall.

My daughter and I absolutely love it!

My daughter got this pink Trike for her 2nd birthday and loves it! She can't quite peddle hard enough to propel herself without a little help from an adult, but the bike is easy to turn using the adult bar, easy for her to get on and off by herself and really sturdy. I can see her enjoying this bike for a few years.
