Review: Great Quality Tricycle β€” Our Toddler Loves It! - Steering ability: The steering is super smooth and easy for little hands β€” my child figured it out right away. Stability: Feels very stable and safe; no wobbling at all, even on turns. Value for money: Totally worth the price for this quality and design. Functionality: Simple to put together, works perfectly both indoors and outdoors. Rideability: The ride is smooth and comfortable β€” our little one rides it every day with a big smile! Quality: Strong, durable materials that look like they’ll last for years. It’s such a cute, classic tricycle and a great first bike for any toddler! ❀️🚲 Review: Good trike for toddlers! - Update: This little trike is still in good shape 3 years in The splash guard on the front is always slipping sideways, I almost wonder if it would make more sense to not install it all. Our 2nd kid is now the same age (25 mo.) as our 1st was when I wrote the initial review Once again the Micro scooter is the favorite, but, this bike is a solid second choice and offers a different riding experience. While both on the tall side, she is a bit taller than her sister (90% vs 80%) and is able to pedal independently (forward and backward) 100% of the time. So, if you have a taller kid; 2 is about the right age for this one. Previous. review: This is a great product, however, if you are trying to decide on only ONE riding toy- I strongly recommend the Micro "mini" kickboard scooters. We bought a refurbished one of the company website and it has been our daughter's favorite toy for 9 months strong. In fact, I just bought an adult version because, at 2 yrs, she is so fast on it that I was struggling to keep up with her. (Another friend bought a Little Tykes version for her 2yr old and it is CLEARLY inferior- so spend the extra cash on the Micro for sure.) Now, about this trike: I bought this for our then 20 month old because it was very similar to the one my neighbor's kids would ride and our daughter would always try to steal it when she saw it. She loves it (just not as much as the Micro). Initially, she would walk it with her feet but, because the wheels are "fast," she was soon able to almost run with it. Now, at 25 months, she has learned to start pushing the pedals maybe 30% of the time. Older kids in the neighborhood (4yr +/-) seem to like borrowing this one for a spin around the block now and then, too. Only issue we have had with it is the splash guard on the front wheel occasionally slipping loose and sliding sideways or the "trunk" popping up off the back bar. Both are easy to snap back in place. For reference, she also has a Strider balance bike. The balance bike is good for her, but she is just now learning to bear her weight on it and "glide" every few steps. In order of preference it goes: Micro Mini, Radio Flyer Trike, the Strider bike. As I said, this trike is VERY similar to ones my neighbor's girls had from when her oldest (5 yr) was little and has since passed down to the younger girl (3yr). Both older girls say that this one is "faster" than the previous model. I attribute that to the wheels being different. So, if you are debating buying a used one or spending a little extra for the newer one- go new. ## Features - CLASSIC FIRST TRIKE: The Radio Flyer Red Rider Trike features sturdy steel construction, quietride wheels and comfortgrip handlebars to deliver a smooth, confident and comfortable ride for little ones. - GROWS WITH YOUR CHILD: The adjustable seat creates a comfy, secure fit from ages 2.5-5, so kids can practice, progress, and ride longer as balance and coordination improve through everyday neighborhood play. - BRING TREASURES ALONG: A covered rear storage bin lets kids pack favorite toys, snacks, or newfound treasures, inspiring imaginative play and turning simple rides into exciting little adventures and missions. - PARENTFRIENDLY TRANSPORT: An easytocarry seat back hand grip simplifies curb lifts, car trips and storage, so bringing this toddler tricycle to parks and playdates is quick, convenient, and hasslefree. - BELOVED ICON OF PLAY: For over a century, Radio Flyer has inspired joyful play with wagons, trikes, and more.

He can still push off with his toes though, or sometimes big sis helps. ;) She can ride no problem (and has for a while), and she is 39" tall. Hope that helps... **Q: My daughter is about to be 4 is this bike too s for her?** A: It all really depends on how tall your child is. I'm hoping it's not too small for my daughter, I'll find out here shortly. Her birthday is coming up, she'll be 2 years old. But she's as tall as an average 5 year old **Q: What kind of assembly is required? What tools are needed?** A: Best assembly would be using a 6mm wrench, a 13mm wrench, a #2 philips screw driver and a hammer. Can be done with fewer tools but these are the most efficient. **Q: The handlebar will not stay on the tricycle. That little piece does not tighten enough to hold it on. Any suggestions?** A: I tried to assemble this last night and can't get the handlebars to stay on either. The lift right out. I've tightened the bolt as tight as it will go, but the metal piece with the bolt doesn't seem to have anything to do with holding the handle bar in place. I don't know what else to do. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Quality Tricycle β€” Our Toddler Loves It! *by D***V on October 30, 2025* Steering ability: The steering is super smooth and easy for little hands β€” my child figured it out right away.
