Radio Flyer Classic Red 10" Tricycle for Toddlers ages 2-4 (34B)

We had the advantage of comparing it to an AMF tricycle from the 1970s. These appear to be very similar at first glance. When the child rides both trikes, however, it is clear that this Radio Flyer is far inferior to its 40-year-old counterpart. br>br>The workmanship on this Radio Flyer is clearly inferior to that of the AMF. The child is constantly stopping and "pushing" with his feet on the floor as he struggles to pedal against numerous sources of mechanical resistance. When compared to the AMF, he is actually going so fast that when he goes around corners, he is tilting onto two wheels. When you stand behind him on this Radio Flyer, you can see the back wheels doing a crazy zig-zag pattern. zag. As if no one at the Radio Flyer factory cares about, or knows how to, getting a rim on true, or as if it isn't part of their design parameters. br>br>We'll be returning this Radio Flyer tricycle and repairing a few minor issues with the vintage AMF tricycle. My advice to other parents is to look in your local thrift stores, yard sales, and flea markets to see if you can find a tricycle from the good old days.

The wheel was not aligned with the handles because the handle bar screw kept coming loose. The seat kept sliding down, turning, and needing to be re-positioned. modifying My toddler would fall off the bike as it toppled because the front wheel snagged on sidewalk cracks. I was hoping for a metal trike, but ended up with the plastic Fisher-Price 'tough trikes' because they sit low to the ground, work well, and have excellent customer service.

It's for my grandson, and I bought it for him. As new. The parts were scratched and bent (as seen in the photos), but they were wrapped in plastic neatly. Then we had to decide whether to spoil the birthday by dragging the box to the post office or to put it together as is because boys don't mind dents. So we kept it, and it works fine, but my other grandson had a similar experience with the same model. There appears to be a pattern here.

My granddaughter's birthday was ruined as a result of your actions. You should be ashamed of yourself. Taking money from people and ensuring that the product is full and complete with all parts.

Riding and learning on this bike is difficult. It takes a long time to put everything together. This trike is extremely inconvenient for us because we live in an NYC apartment. It's a pain to work with. Because it's heavy and difficult to move, it's difficult for her to learn on. I have to bend over almost 100% of the time to help her, especially when she gets tired of it, which happens quite quickly. It's not easy to lug your belongings to the park or our shared outdoor space. It takes a lot of time and effort to put everything together. It even necessitates the use of a hammer. We don't use it very often because it's just too difficult. If your child has already learned to ride a tricycle and you have a backyard that they can easily access, I believe it would be appropriate for you. Even so, it's still quite heavy and difficult for their young legs. I wish we had just bought a plastic one instead.

You must keep an eye on your child because the bike is front-heavy, and if they lean forward toward the bars, the bike will tip. Fortunately, my LO did not break her nose, but it was enough to leave her with a bloody bruised nose, and I had to put weight on the back step to keep her from tipping it. It takes very little effort to accomplish this.

It took a lot of effort to put this together. Some of the pieces didn't fit together well, and once it was put together, it wasn't strong enough to last more than one night. I strongly advise you to avoid it.

The seat and handlebars will not stay in place if they are not tightened. Even for a three-year-old, it's difficult. year- Even if it fits and steers properly, it's too old to ride a trike. It's far too costly to be poorly constructed.
