4.0 out of 5 stars
Sturdy, Fun Trike with Unecessary Features, January 17, 2006
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Radio Flyer Ultimate Canopy Steer & Stroll Trike (Toy)
My son received this trike as a Christmas present from his grandparents. He is only 14 months old, but big for his age, in any case he cannot pedal yet. The best features of the trike are that it is easy for Mom or Dad to steer, it has a seat strap, and its just plain cooler than going for a walk in a stroller. My son loves it and anytime he gets a peek of it he points to it and squeals, if we don't let him ride it he gets upset. He feels like a big boy, especially since he always sees the older kids in our neighborhood on their bikes. The features you can live without include the sun shade, which I haven't noticed actually blocking any sun, and the cup holder which doesn't really work out that well, the slightest turn and the drink tips and spills. This only detracts slightly from the overall impression of the trike, but you could save some money by buying the model without the useless sunshade. The seat doesn't seem adequate for a five year old, which is the age the trike is supposed to be used until. I don't think we'll use it much past three years, but all in all it is a sturdy little trike and my son loves it.

Disappointed for the Money, October 10, 2006
This review is from: Radio Flyer Ultimate Canopy Steer & Stroll Trike (Toy)
This item is ok . . . maybe it's just me, but we have had some issues with it. It was ok at first (age 1), because my son couldn't reach the pedals, and his feet just kind of dangled. But as he got a little older, he always seemed at a loss with what to do with his feet. (There's nowhere to rest them.) He would try to rest them on the pedals, and inevitably jam them with his foot. Now he can reach the pedals (age 2), but hasn't mastered them yet. But his feet are dragging the ground. I guess I can raise the seat up, but this still won't solve his dangling problem. Secondly, the canopy and cup holder are useless, and our bike doesn't steer particularly straight, even though we have tried to correct this. My sister's son is same age as mine, and she has the same problems. It is very cute, and we always get compliments on it, but is not nearly as functional. Wish I had gotten something else.

Great Product, February 15, 2008
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Radio Flyer Ultimate Canopy Steer & Stroll Trike (Toy)
Overall it is a great product. Thank you guys for the reviews.
Pro:
1) trike and parts are very sturdy.
2) seat is adjustable, useful as your kids grow bigger.
3) color is wonderful.
4) bi-pilot system feels great.
Con:
1) attentions are needed to assembly, e.g. you need to be VERY careful on installing tyres to their correct sides, because there is no remedy if you put wrong.
2) you need to have strong fingers to remove the pull handle.
3) the canopy is of no use.
4) need to mark your trike to separate from others who have the same trike. :D
Suggestions:
The best way to assembly is first to layout the parts on the ground to their relative location, and then assembly them. Enjoy!
