   Pros:* I love the sound of the dual-bell.* the product photo shows a sticker on the front that reads “Retro RED Made in China.” I’m happy that this is missing from the delivered item.* the streamers are shorter than the photo but appear to be made out of a soft silicone or rubber (instead of the thin plastic as in the photo)* includes an extra red cap* solid rubber wheelsCons:* ARGH! RADIO FLYER’S PACKAGING DOES NOT PROTECT AGAINST CHIPPED PAINT OR SCRATCHES DURING SHIPPING! A few pennies worth of styrofoam could have prevented the paint from being chipped! Radio Flyer’s packaging appears to be designed for the tricycle to shipped on a pallet– parts were minimally protected by bubble wrap and loose in the box. There was no styrofoam to hold the metal parts in place and prevent the metal parts from rubbing against each other. My tricycle arrived with scratches on the paint, red paint rubbed into the handlebar’s chrome, and two 1/4-inch chips in the paint on the outside leg of the upper deck. I’m assuming this happened during shipping from Amazon.com to my house. This could have been prevented with a little bit of styrofoam to keep the parts in place in the package.* the assembly manual states that the weight limit of the upper deck is 5 lbs* the assembly instructions only mention grease/oil in fine print at the bottom of the last page.* the upper deck’s supports cause additional weld joints in the rear axle shaft that may scrape against the axle rod. I inserted and removed the axle rod while greasing it, and the rod had 1/16-inch grooves in it from the metal spurs in the shaft left over from sloppy welding. Perhaps this can be spun as a safety feature– an always on parking brake.* even with grease on the rear axle and front handlebar shaft, the tricycle still makes a rattling noise because the front fender is loosely attached to the front fork by two rivets and a ‘W’-shaped metal standoff. The lip of the front fork prevents wedging cardboard in-between to dampen the rattling.* nit-pick: the bell should have a rubber boot around the thumb-lever, or the thumb-lever should be wider/thicker so it is less of a safety concern. As a work-around, I tried to mound the bell with the lever at a slight downward angle such that the lever would not hit my kid’s face if she ran into something and her head went forward into the handlebar.* the item’s photo shows a mirror finish on the fender, but the delivered item had more of a matte cloudy finish.* the chrome plating on the top of the front frame (where the frame meets the handlebar) was already chipped away in several places when I opened up the package.Assembly Tips:* Grease the rear axle before hammering on the red cap. Grease the peg above the front fork that goes into the limiter.* Use a block of wood to steady and level the red cap when hammering it onto the rear axle.* More than one size of wrench is needed for assembly. Find the right wrench sizes before you begin assembly. Don’t use pliers like the instruction manual suggests.* I had to pry apart the clamp to fit it all the way around where it goes on the front handlebar shaft. It initially appeared to be on all of the way because the clamp had different top and bottom diameters, but when I saw the front wheel could jump out of the steering radius limiter, I then realized that the mismatched diameters were due cheap manufacturing of the clamp.* Push the clamp all the way down so that the front wheel cannot jump out of the limiter.

   I really wanted to like this bike (well, trike). We got it for our 4-year-old daughter, who loves to ride around outside and even inside the house. And she loves red, and she loves tassels, and she loves ringing bells. And for us, well — Radio Flyer is classic! We couldn’t wait to give this to her, and we imagined all the fun she was going to have, and the memories she would have of this really cool, classic bike.This was our Christmas gift to her; her face lit up like our Christmas tree when she unwrapped it and saw it. Of course, we had to assemble it first, and that’s where I noticed that it wasn’t as well-designed as I thought a “classic” should be.- The main bar that mates with the dual-deck platform didn’t go in smoothly; I had to use a rubber mallet to pound it slowly into position. But the guide clamp was tight, so it scratched up the nice red paint on the main bar.- Once the bar was in place, the holes for the 2 screws to bolt it into place didn’t line up properly. I had to put on the first screw, and then wrestle with the deck a little bit, so I could get the holes aligned, and put the second screw through. I was expecting a bit more precision in the manufacturing.- The front wheel guard was slightly misaligned, relative to the wheel itself.- The front wheel has a plastic stem that serves as a guide and a limiter for how far you can turn the wheel in either direction, by sliding into a slot/groove, but the plastic stem doesn’t seem that sturdy. I can imagine that thing snapping if the wheel gets turned too far.- The handlebars need some kind of slot or guide, to keep them properly aligned with the front wheel. As it is, it relies on the clamp and the hatching on the base of the handlebar. With enough force (and not actually that much), it was possible to misalign the handlebars and the wheel.- The bell is a little hard to ring, for little hands. Our daughter actually has to stop pedaling, and use both hands to ring the bell.- The way the seat is attached is pretty iffy. Considering that it’s holding the rider’s weight, the bolt that tightens/locks the seat into place from just one side doesn’t seem like enough. It would be better to have a bolt go all the way through, and through a hole in the base/stem of the seat.We were able to get the bike assembled, but I just couldn’t let all these design/build issues slide. We let our daughter ride it, but I make sure to tighten everything each time before she goes for a spin. It shouldn’t have to be that way.Overall, it still looks good, and every bit the classic red Radio Flyer. But it’s better to look at than to actually ride, and that’s a shame, considering it’s a bike.**********UPDATE: bumping this up a couple of stars, not so much for the product, but for the stellar customer service. Radio Flyer responded to my comments and worked with me to see what could be done to resolve the issues. They offered to send some replacement parts for the parts that didn’t fit so well. They also helped me out with a fix (WD40!) for the squeaky rear wheels and now it glides along so quietly, I sometimes don’t hear my daughter coming!I still can’t give it an overall 5 though, because the handlebar mating design really is a flaw — it should have a more solid lock — and the seat stem being supported only from one side also seems like a design flaw.But I can’t say enough about how great the customer service is. 6 stars!

   I purchased this for my 3 year old grandson who is a big boy. He is tall and weighs 39 pounds. This is his first bike. I was surprised it cost so much. I looked and looked and Amazon had the best price. My husband assembled it easily since most of the Tricycle was already assembled. This Tricycle was taller than the average one which was perfect for my grandson’s height and weight.. The tricycle has a bell and a red, white and blue strings coming out of the handlebars. For him, he loves the bell and stings. He smile and smile and wouldn’t let his brother ride on it. It was a great birthday gift. The Tricycle was worth the cost.

   This wonderful tricycle is solid and sturdy, just like the ones I remember from 50 years ago. Admittedly, my grandson, who is partial to his electric motorized tractor, is a little confused about the whole process of pedaling, but he’ll get it. And he’ll be strengthening his little legs instead of just sitting and riding. The bell is loud and amazing. We all love to ring that bell!

   I have a barely three year-old that fits into 4T clothes (she’s ~39″ tall with fairly long legs) and she can barely make the pedals work when overextending. She loves the tricycle (especially the bell), but I expected it to fit her better. The seat is all the way down. It’s also a little squeaky. At least we’ll have it for awhile and she’ll grow into it!

   This bike was exactly what I wanted. It is sturdy and the cutest little thing I have ever seen my 2yr old grandson loved it!

   When we first purchased and put together, we thought it may be too hard for her to peddle. But she jumped right on and went to it. She love’s this and rides it all the time. Great back step for an adult to stand and push around if the little one wants help or just to catch a ride with them!
