Cheap Crap
We have model #53 (supposedly improved) and WOW is it poorly made. The front wheel fell off while my son was riding it (no injuries -- but, seriously, ?????!). Even after "fixing it" the handle bars wiggle front to back more than 1cm. We consulted an experienced bike tech who admitted to having junked more than 1 of these for similar reasons. It's ridiculous how cheap this trike is. Shoddy crap. Nostalgia aside, I wish we'd bought a Kettler and saved the trouble...

Tips over & poor quality!
This tricycle is such a disappointment. It has broken or worn in several areas, for example despite repeated tightenings, the handle bars do not stay true and turn the wheel as they should. It also tips over WAY to easily- just asking for an injury. I would not recommend this to anybody.

Liked it and then stopped liking it
I read the other reviews about not being able to assemble it or parts not working correctly and I haven't had any of those problems. It has worked as advertised for our child so we have like it but now, we are disappointed. Our son has outbrown the need to have a parent steer it for him so we removed the parent steering to allow him to do on his own and guess what? It has no brakes. We live in a hilly neighborhood so there is only two ways to stop...hit something or put your feet down. He likes riding it but can only do so in our garage since our driveway is on a slope. So overall I would say that it is a good attempt but not to great of a product. I went to the store today and bought a different one that he can ride on walks with us in the neigborhood that has brakes....so this one was a waste of money.

Good idea, weak construction
After reading all the reviews we took a chance on this trike for our 17 month old as the steering feature seemed great for Mom and the free moving wheel a good feature. The price was low enough to where it was worth taking a chance despite some of the reviews.
Our impressions:
-Set up was pretty easy, about 20 min
-I can see how the right back wheel might fall off - it and the axel are held on by a simple pressure fitting that you bang on with a hammer. Why they didnt just use a cotter pin (perhaps because metal is expensive in china!)..... It hasn't fallen off yet though.
-The Steering handle has alot of play to it and you are constantly under/oversteering to keep it straight. Going to see if I can eliminate some of the play with a space (bad sign on a new toy!)
- The ringing bell is really cheaply made. they could have sprung for a real one.
- With all of this you dont want to roll it off curbs too much
Overall my son really likes rtiding on it and my wife likes pushing him. But its clear this wont be a long lasting toy.
