Customers are dissatisfied with the product's build quality. They mention it's poorly constructed, tippy, and not very durable. The welding is poorly done and would not last. It looks like it was put together cheaply, and in the long run, it's not worth the money.

I purchased this for my grandson-he was 20 months old at the time- for a Christmas gift. He loves Elmo and it was a cute trike. That was really the only good thing I can say about this item. It is extremely poorly constructed and very tippy. The post from the seat to the base between the back wheels was welded on and very quickly broke. Since it was a weld there were no bolts/screws which could be tightened to repair it. My Son-in-law tried putting some metal screws there but it did not help. The handle in the back is totally useless for pushing the trike. If he got two months use of this trike that would probably be a high estimate. It is a shame that an item like this can even be sold.

This is a very cute trike and my daughter was super excited to receive it last Christmas. However the front wheel rubs in the fork, and it seems to be designed that way. There is no way to adjust it. It was a nice feature when I was pushing her around on it, but she is 3 now and strong and still can't pedal this thing easily. She can ride all her friends' trikes with no problem, but this thing is designed so it won't roll away down the driveway. So as soon as she stops pedaling it stops dead. Also, it sits quite tall, it's recoomended for 1 year olds, but mine couldn't reach the pedals until recently, and she is very tall! All in all, it's cute when you the child is little and you have to push them with the handle, but BAD when they try to ride on their own. My daughter is getting a different tricycle this year!
My son has not gotten this trike yet, but we put it together to make sure all the parts were there, it is a cute trike but it looks like it was put togehter cheap. The welds look like they were done by a drunk, and the same for the wheels. The wheels are hard plastic, which im fine with, but the wheels were not put on straight and as they turn you can see where they are not properly put on. For the price I paided I'm not too upset, but I would not pay the same price for it again.
Well like the title clearly states, it's difficult for a child not to like this. The trike is pretty nice and easy to setup given you have enough room to work with, it's pretty well built.
My only complain is that when you assemble the seat you can't use the first two screw hole to attach the seat to the body of the trike, thus if you're kid is still a little too small (even though the specs say it's for 1 to 4 year olds)or has short legs, you won't be able to screw the seat at the frontmost position, only the middle and farthest position from the pedals. When you try to use the frontmost screwholes the curve of the body of the trike forces the seat to lift a little so the screws end up to short and don't go all the way through.
I know this can be easily fixed by getting some longer screws, but that would be good to know before hand not Christmas day in the morning when you're setting it up and your kid's eager to start using it. Or maybe I'm the one to blame for not setting it up before Christmas....
I think this is the cutest tric. My daughter is getting it for Christmas...she'll be 2 in January. The box does say 2+ on the box, so don't let amazon's age fool you. My daughter is very small for her age and I know very well she probably won't be able to peddle on her own yet. I'm happy if she can just sit on it and I push her while my older daughter is riding her bike around the block. We have other older trics that she will possible be able to do on her own around the house if need be, but we have 3 kids and have never found a tric that actually fits the child at the age it says it should. My older daughter is tall for her age and when she was 2 her new tric was a little big for her too...that is how they are able to put that it goes form ages 2-5. The seat is adjustable on this tric and the push bar is removable. I think it will work perfect for our families situation.
We bought this for my 21 onth old grandaughter who is "in love" with Elmo. This was the biggest hit of Christmas. It rides well, easily put together and I think she will have hours of fun with it. Amazon is the only place that I saw it.
I completely agree with the review from "mommy of 2". I wish she had posted that before I bought this piece of garbage. I wish I had bought Fisher-Price Rock, Roll 'N Ride Trike instead.
I bought this for my daughter's 2nd birthday one month ago. She, and all the other 2 year olds at her birthday party loved it. Other parents said that they wanted to get one for their 2 year old. But there is no volume control or off button for the annoying music. Only 2 song choices, depending on if you hit the right arrow or the left, and one song is very long. The music got annoying very quickly.
After a few days of this tricycle sitting in our living room with 2 toddlers playing on it. We noticed that it tipped very easily. So on top of the annoying music, now we had crying toddlers.
Then yesterday, I took it outside for the first time. I put my daughter on it and pushed her 2 blocks down the street to the baby-sitter's house. I thought she would enjoy the ride. Well... she did for most of the ride. But it squeaked loudly the duration of the trip. It almost tipped over while I pushed it with the long handle several times. And I couldn't steer the bike with the handle. I had to bend over repeatedly to grab the handlebars to steer it, which defeated the purpose of buying a trike with a long handle for parents.
The worse part was that there isn't a place for her to set her feet except on the pedals which she can't really reach. So when I stopped the trike, the pedals smacked her in the foot, and she got hurt several times. When I got home, I threw it in the garage.
It's also a pain to assemble, and I usually enjoy assembling complicated things.
Don't waste your money on this junk. I would give it 0 stars if possible.
