Radio Flyer Deluxe Steer & Stroll Trike

great buy
great value for the price. my daughter loves to ride it. the handle is removable as the child becomes older. also the body is expendable.

Fell apart after a few uses!
The only reason this is not getting 1 star is because it was fun for the year that it held together for. I purchased this for my 2yr old a year ago and he loved it. We had it for a year and maybe used it a few times a month and not at all in the winter. This spring we brought it back out and after a few uses the steering bar for parents started to break, for some reason I could barely steer the bike any longer then the wheels started making loud screeching sounds that WD-40 could not help. Then, while it was sitting untouched in the garage it fell apart (I read a few other reviews that had the same thing happen)! I was shocked! The whole bike is in pieces! The front wheel & handle bars fell off. Thank goodness my son wasn't on it at the time! We were not rough with this bike at all, we take very good care of all of our son's toys and I have never had anything like this happen before. I would not recommend buying this product, the quality is just so bad. For the money it should have lasted a lot longer.

Doesn't teach child to ride
The trike is poor quality and the front wheel functions to allow the trike to coast. Which prevents the petals from turning when the trike is in motion. This feature has confused my child and even though we have owned this trike since she was 18 months old she still doesn't know how to petal and she is 3 now. It prevents your child from learning how to alternate legs because they don't have to. I would NOT reccomend this to another parent because of this feature. Also the coasting front wheel means THE CHILD HAS NO WAY TO BRAKE AND SLOW DOWN when on their own. This is a problem if your child encounters a small hill (or in our case steep driveway).

Nice trike for a 2 yr old
We bought 2 for our Boy and Girl 2 yr old twins, having the handle that allows you to help them navigate has been very helpful. The bike seems to be very sturdy, and they are enjoying them very much.

Excellent value for the money
The Radio Flyer Deluxe Steer & Stroll Trike is an excellent value for the money.
Our 2 1/2 year old daughter loves it. During a recent vacation it replaced the stroller and it was a lot more fun for her and us than having her sit still in the stroller.
The trike is easy to steer with the push bar, which is high enough even for tall people and easily detached for transportation.
Assembly was easy enough, but I am somewhat experienced. The instructions were clear and easy to follow.
The wheels started squeaking after a few days but a little WD40 took care of it.

The only thing missing is a break. As long as we push her around there is no break necessary, but as soon as she is old enough to ride the trike without our help we will have to see if it is save enough without a break or if we have to switch to a different ride.
