Toys and Games Reviews of Radio Flyer Classic Red Tricycle with Push Handle
Customer Review: Great, but front handlebars slide around
Summary: 4 Stars
My 20 mo old son loved riding this bike in [a local toy store], which is why I chose it. I think he liked it because the seat was high and he could push himself with his feet. He's not yet able to use the pedals. I have a smaller plastic trike, which he never uses because it's too low to the ground and too hard to push himself. My only complaint is that the handlebars have a locking slide button and they're hard to install. Maybe I did something wrong but our handlebars move around and I think that I may have stripped the screw trying to keep them tight. I think that the bike would have been better without the locking mechanism anyway(which is used to lock the front wheel when you use the push bar to push your child.) What kid actually lets you push them anyway? Mine won't let me touch that pushbar. He'd rather keep pushing around with his feet.Customer Review: Handlebar concern
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased this trike for our 2 year old. Putting it together was no problem until I got the the handlebars. Instead of the "old fashioned" bolt that held the handlebars in place, there is a ring that you slip around the tongue where it positions onto the bike. You tighten the ring to secure the handlebar in the forward position. Both my husband and I tightened the bolt as far as we could but the handlebars are still not as stable as I would like. When she gets off the trike, the handlebars turn independently of the front wheel. I would return this trike if I could find my receipt. The seat isn't real stable either. It twists from side to side.
With research I'm sure that there are much better tricycles out there although I liked the retro look but my daughter's safety is more important.
Customer Review: Do not buy this trike
Summary: 4 Stars
My daughter received this tricycle for her 3rd birthday. She enjoys riding it, when it is not broken. Metal forks split the front wheel, but the petals are attached to the metal forks by reinforced plactic joints which slide into the forks and hold the wheel onto the forks. The plastic joint has broken twice in six months, from normal use. While Radio Flyer has been helpful in sending replacement parts, and has now offered to reimburse for the cost of the tricycle, neither helps my daughter, who has a tricycle she cannot use. Shame on Radio Flyer for such a poor design!!Other reviews are also accurate in that the tricycle does tip over easily while turning and pedaling.
Customer Review: Fun Trike for Outings
Summary: 5 Stars
My soon to be 3yr old can pedal but not very fast and we have lots of hills in our neighborhood. Taking a walk without a pushing rod turns a 30min walk into a 2 hour ordeal. The cheaper tricycle's have plastic pushing rods/frames and those do not hold up for very long. It also has real rubber wheels which seem to grip the pavement better then plastic ones. The only complaint I have is that the handlebar needs to be tightened quite a bit as it can come loose. Other parts need to be re-tightened about once a month. Otherwise it is a very good tricycle and I recommend it to anyone looking for something better then the cheap plastic ones.Customer Review: Great purchase!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I purchased these tricycles for our 2 year old twins. They live on these tricycles during summer and love them so much. The push bar was great for when they were learning to navigate them, now they are pros! They especially love to ring the bell. We bought them baskets to put on them to gather things when we go on walks and they couldn't be happier. We have never had any problems with them tipping over or with any of the parts. When putting them together we were careful in following the directions and have no problems with them at all. I highly recommend them, they are a great price for all the fun they will have!
