Radio Flyer Red Rider Trike, Outdoor Toddler Tricycle, For Ages 2.5-5 (Amazon Exclusive)

Fairly easy to put together. My child has shorter legs and is not able to reach big wheel pedals yet. Purchased this, so they can start learning how to use pedals and then can grow into the big wheel. The seat has two positions. With position, my child can reach the pedals, hooray!

My preschooler loves this trike. I have four children and bought a different one that my first three children used. They loved it and rode it everywhere until the end of it’s life. I bought this one to replace it. Price has risen quite a bit but the quality is there. I gave it to my son when he was two. He is on the short side and could only sit on it. At almost four, he is still short. He refuses to use the pedals. He sits on it and pedals himself by placing his feet on the ground and moving himself that way. I don’t know why he won’t use the pedals. I had a friend come and bring her daughter who was 2.5 and she pedaled it no problem. This is absolutely fun for our children and I like the traditional red color.

組み立てられて届くイメージでしたが届いたら実際は自分で組み立てる式の三輪車でした。
想像より1.2倍ほど大きめでしたが、デザインはやっぱり可愛いですね^ ^ 娘も気に入って乗って遊んでいますが、少しだけハンドル部分の可動域が広めなので操縦は難しめなのかも、、

Update: This little trike is still in good shape 3 years in The splash guard on the front is always slipping sideways, I almost wonder if it would make more sense to not install it all. Our 2nd kid is now the same age (25 mo.) as our 1st was when I wrote the initial review Once again the Micro scooter is the favorite, but, this bike is a solid second choice and offers a different riding experience. While both on the tall side, she is a bit taller than her sister (90% vs 80%) and is able to pedal independently (forward and backward) 100% of the time. So, if you have a taller kid; 2 is about the right age for this one.

Previous. review: This is a great product, however, if you are trying to decide on only ONE riding toy- I strongly recommend the Micro “mini” kickboard scooters. We bought a refurbished one of the company website and it has been our daughter’s favorite toy for 9 months strong. In fact, I just bought an adult version because, at 2 yrs, she is so fast on it that I was struggling to keep up with her. (Another friend bought a Little Tykes version for her 2yr old and it is CLEARLY inferior- so spend the extra cash on the Micro for sure.)

Now, about this trike: I bought this for our then 20 month old because it was very similar to the one my neighbor’s kids would ride and our daughter would always try to steal it when she saw it. She loves it (just not as much as the Micro). Initially, she would walk it with her feet but, because the wheels are “fast,” she was soon able to almost run with it. Now, at 25 months, she has learned to start pushing the pedals maybe 30% of the time. Older kids in the neighborhood (4yr +/-) seem to like borrowing this one for a spin around the block now and then, too. Only issue we have had with it is the splash guard on the front wheel occasionally slipping loose and sliding sideways or the “trunk” popping up off the back bar. Both are easy to snap back in place.

For reference, she also has a Strider balance bike. The balance bike is good for her, but she is just now learning to bear her weight on it and “glide” every few steps. In order of preference it goes: Micro Mini, Radio Flyer Trike, the Strider bike.

As I said, this trike is VERY similar to ones my neighbor’s girls had from when her oldest (5 yr) was little and has since passed down to the younger girl (3yr). Both older girls say that this one is “faster” than the previous model. I attribute that to the wheels being different. So, if you are debating buying a used one or spending a little extra for the newer one- go new.

Well packed , assembly done by the guardian following the guide included in the box
Good balancing and quality is very good , radio flyer is the best at kids bikes

It is good tricycled, but through the years, plastic has replaced many parts.

So you will need a screw driver, wrench and a hammer. Was surprised to find two of them and had to use a shoe as the hammer. For 2024 I was surprised how many little pieces nails and all and parts to put it together. Not easy when you have a waiting two year old. With that said she just turned 2 last year and a big two and she can grow into it and use it at least for the rest of the year if not more. I just would have loved some parts maybe pre assembled some other companies do that. I’ll update if any changes. It looks good quality after the assembly.
