Schwinn 12" Roadster Tricycle product details page

I read a bunch of reviews on amazon where people complained about the quality of the bike, but it looked so nice on the picture...When I received it, I wish I trusted those reviews. It's very cheaply made. One tire was already patched with some glue, and all three were deflated. I tried to inflate them and noticed that one back tire was not even sitting on the rim and I could not do anything to fix it. The ornament on the bike is actually not painted but rather slapped on with a sticky painted tape. At first I thought it was a protective film over the paint, but NO, it was the "paint". I am returning the bike.

This is the BEST tricycle I've ever used! It is very well built and sturdy. It doesn't tip over very easily and the pedals go around without hitting the ground. It is a nice piece of equipment, and reasonably priced. I often use it for kids that have special needs; as the seat has nice support, and it's easy for the kids to get on and off. I wish Target carried it in their stores....not just online!

Our daughter has been riding this trike for six months now. She loves to take corners quickly because the trike will not tip over. It is a nice looking trike - almost like a classy big wheel bike. We hope that she can ride it for several years as the seat is adjustable. The only negative we've had so far was that it had a little rust on the fenders when we took them out of the box to put the trike together. Since the trike is stored inside our garage the rust has not become any worse. I think y ou and your child will be happy with this tricycle.

Very cool tricycle. A little too big for my (small) 3-year-old, but sturdy and will last a long time. And it looks great. Love the bell.

This tricycle is such good quality! The ride is very, very smooth. It is very easy to control and so far no tip-overs. Our[...] grandson can already ride it and has lots of room to grow on it, so he'll be able to ride it for at least a couple of years. He loves the bell! This trike is worth is worth every penny! I highly recommend it!

My IL got this for my son. It's certainly nice and durable. But it's so heavy that my kids have trouble riding it. It's mostly taking up space in the garage. We got a hand-me-down plastic trike that they could actually ride. My kids are smaller and not super athletic so I know that's part of it. But really, this thing is a little too heavy duty for the preschool set.

[...] Very fast and classy bike, its worth the price. However, received damaged on front fender and was willing to overlook it except after a few days the bell stopped working. I dont want him to see me take it back to the store because he WILL CRY, so I will have to sneak it into the trunkof my car. I know my son will wonder where his bike is. Will order another one hoping there is no damage to it.

I purchased this tricycle for my grandson for Christmas. It was a hit! It was pouring rain outside so he was riding it around inside of the house tearing up our walls. It was supposed to stay at my house, but has ended up going to his. His cousin had one so I knew he enjoyed riding it. It was quit a hit!

My great nephew is a very active, smart young man. I say young man even though he is under five, because he takes to and learns things very quicky. As a result I felt that the Schwinn 12' Roadster Tricycle was more than the right one for him. It will allow him to travel safely when coming down the block or in the park, but because it is closer to the ground and I feel safer with the height. It will grow as his imagination expands, he will be able to "ride like the wind" as I try to ke ep my feet out of his path. So I say, think Schwinn, because it is a true flyer for the young at heart and sturdy[...].
