• "Sturdy, easy to put together."

• "It was easy to assemble and would make a great gift."
• "Easy to assemble."
• "It was very easy to assemble, great relief on Christmas Eve when getting the presents ready under the tree."

Cons:

• "We found that it was somewhat difficult to put together."

• "The instructions aren't clear either. I would not purchase this again."

Durability

Pros:

• "It has been very durable and well liked."
• "Pretty strong too as my 6 year has hopped on it without it falling to pieces."
• "Great little bike, my 3year old loves it and he is NOT nice with his bikes. It has flown down many hills, toppled over and he has flipped it many times and it's still in great condition."
• "The bike is of great quality and very durable."
• "This is a great, sturdy bike. My grandson is rough with his toys, but this has withstood all kinds of abuse!"
• "It's very sturdy and a great product for the price."
• "Sturdy and well built, its well worth the price."

Cons:

• "The rear wheels do not stay on which could be a safety hazard."
• "The plastic pieces barely fit together and the seat doesn't close all the way and I'm concerned it will pinch my kids legs."
• "It is ALL LIGHTWEIGHT PLASTIC and will last a few months."
• "sure poor quality... pieces even broke when assembly was being done."
• "This tough trike is garbage."
• "The front axle is missing that holds the front wheel. This is impossible to ship back for return."
• "This this is a real piece of junk. The front wheel is so slick when the little one pedals it, the wheel just spins and goes nowhere."

Safety & Design

Pros:

• "Love the bright colors!"
• "I like how the seat sits up off the ground too."
• "And they love hiding stuff inside the seat."
• "It's kind of hard to steer. That is, I somehow assembled it so that the front wheel requires a fair amount of force to turn in either direction."
• "Being able to lift the seat to put toys and outdoor treasures was a huge bonus!"
• "It is colorful and low to the ground lessening injury from a fall."
• "He especially like the compartment underneath the seat in which he stores his favorite toys."

Cons:

• "This item is not safe to ride without head protection as it is very tipsy."
• "The steering on these trikes are to stiff, my twins that are about 3 can't hardly turn the stupid thing!"
• "The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is I'm a little weary of the rear axle cap...had to hammer it to get it on, hopefully it stays."
• "The seat hinge is the big flaw in this."
• "Not stable or safe for wooden floors. The tires r plastic which makes bike very unstable on slippery wooden floors."
• "The cheap hard plastic even on the wheels, so they just spin on the floor with very little traction."
• "Poorly designed in terms of sizing and layout."

Size & Fit

Pros:

• "Perfect toddler size and a good buy."
• "Perfect size for my 2 year old."
• "It's a safe product and toddler can easily get on and get off without any help."
• "It’s the perfect size."
• "Fits my 3 year old grandson well."
• "It’s a great size for a 3 year old, will be able to use this for awhile!"
• "Best gift! Vivid, purple color granddaughter, 21 months, jumped right on as soon as daddy put it together."

Cons:

• "After putting this together, it’s easy to see that it’s certainly not for a two or three year-old, like it says on the box."
• "Too big for even 3 year olds their legs dont reach the paddle."
• "My son is 37.5 inches tall and cannot reach the pedals well enough to pedal."
• "Seat is a little far back from the pedals which puts the feet too close to the back wheels."
• "2-yr old baby cannot play. She will need to wait for one more year maybe. But I am afraid when she can reach the pedals, her knees will touch the upper part."
• "My daughter received this trike for her 2nd birthday. She’s in the 97% for height and still can’t reach the pedals."
• "Way too big for a 2 year old. My little girl is 36” tall and she can’t even come close to the pedals."
