My 3 year old can't reach the petals (she is considered tall for her age). She is also terrified to ride this horrible tricycle because it tips over! Nostaglia is about all it is good for!

We bought this tricycle for my 16 month old son and we couldn't be happier. It is a little big for him right now so we put blocks on the pedals so he could put his feet flat, not tippy-toed. But immediately after we put it together (which only took about 30 minutes from opening the box to completion)he jumped on and started "walking" the trike with his feet on the ground. We were amazed since he has only SEEN bicycles, not ever ridden them. I love the retro look of this trike! It reminds me of the old days and my first trike that I have seen in pictures. I'm sure we'll get plenty of use out of this bike, we love it so far!

This was a birthday present for my two year old. She was a little short to push the peddles all the way at first, but quickly grew into it. She is now almost three and has gotten a lot of use of this. It is sturdy (a bit heavy if tipped over-which it's hard to do), but does rust easily in humid weather, even when kept in a carport.

We bought this Radio Flyer Tricycle for my now five year old when she was two. It tips over horribly. The front will "jack-knife" and then it tips over. She refused to ride it until she was older, even though she could reach the pedals with no problem. She just got tired of tipping over and crashing. When she was three, it seemed to work better for her and not tip quite as much. We kept it because it is so cute and reminiscent of the old days. Now, our 2nd daughter is two and we are going through the tip-overs all over again. It's very unsafe and frustrating for both child and parent. We are going to sell it in a yardsale and buy another brand that has better reviews and is not known to tip so easily. Radio-Flyer, you need to do a little work on this one to make it safer for this era.

i bought this trike for my son and he loves it. he is 20months old and can't really reach the pedals, but he has to work at playing with it. everything these days is too easy for kids. it is nice to see him use his physical and thinking skills to try to work this trike. i agree with other people on this page that falls will come with any riding toy especially trikes, but i remember that being part of the fun. if you want to bring back memories of your childhood (riding on the back while some else pedals), buy this trike.
