Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red) Buy Now


We were very excited when we received this tricycle for our daughter because it is really cute looking bike (2 stars for cuteness, 0 stars for quality). However upon assembling it, we found the quality was not as expected. The chrome fenders arrived dented, the chrome around the platform in the back had scratches, the handlebar was crooked and the tires wouldn't stay inflated. Schwinn products are usually very good quality, but this one was a real disappointment. The "big wheel" style where the child sits low with pedals in front (rather then underneath the child) was not a good fit our our child. Some little kids really need to put their weight into pedaling and this style doesn't work for children who don't have much leg strength yet. Overall, very disappointing and we returned it.Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red) Order Now


We have owned this tricycle for two summers, and my 3 1/2 year old son loved it. It has a nice standing board and a nice design, and would be sturdy in an area that isn't full of water, mud, and very rough and tumble boys.

We live in a rural setting and the trike has been worn out after only one summer. The seat has cracked where the bolt attaches the seat to the frame. The pedals creak and barely turn from the exposure to mud and other natural elements. We don't have sidewalks or even a smooth driveway, so this bike has taken some major off-roading trips. This is definitely a trike for suburbia- if you live in the country find something more sturdy!Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red) Decide Now


When I saw this bike, I was so thrilled. It was the coolest thing ever! We got the pink one for my daughter when she turned 3. We figured it would last for a few years with the adjustable seat. And it did. She used it until about 5 and then started asking for a big kid bike. When we received it, there was a dent in one of the rear fenders. That was a major bummer, but life went on. The biggest bummer was that it was so hard for my daughter to ride. Hard for her to navigate, hard to push the pedals, etc. for months. She's a strong girl too. As she got older it got easier, but never smooth. I think it's because it's a low rider, and the angle of the kid just doesn't give them much power behind their peddling. Very frustrating and disheartening to a little kid learning to ride. As cool as this bike looks, I would have to say that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red) Right now


This may be a great bike -- but I don't know yet and may not know for awhile. Today was my grandson's 2nd birthday and out of the box came a brand new beautiful red tricycle. We inflated the tires and wanted him to take his first ride but unfortunately, the rear tires were leaking! Called the 800 number and was informed that the inner tubes are on back order and they don't know when they will come in. Made in China -- I guess we shouldn't be surprised. I used to think Schwinn was a quality name. Saw someone else here at Amazon had the same problem. Think Schwinn might wise up and pack a spare or two in the box - because, besides Schwinn, I don't know who else carries a 10x2 inner tube. We called a number of bike stores today and they said, 'no, special order.' Beware when buying -- have a patch kit or two handy!Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Low Price Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red)


This is a solid tricycle and looks sharp. Very easy to assemble and looks pretty sturdy. The only negative is that our [...] is a little young for peddling, so we had to rig the tricycle to pull her.Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Save Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red)


I read the reviews on trikes for my son at Christmas time. I really liked what people had to say about this one. So for Christmas this is what we bought him. My husband put it together and away he went. I love the fluidity of the pedaling on it. The construction is fantastic. I like that the seat is moveable for how small or long there legs are. The kids in the neighborhood never want to ride their own trikes anymore. He has been riding his trike for six months now and has never tipped. I am so comfortable with him on this trike that we go to the park and the levee and let him ride. Would buy again in a heartbeat. Well worth the money!Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Cheapest Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red)


This is a great product. We haven't had any problems with the tires as a lot of the other reviews were saying. They were pumped up out of the box and have not deflated at all. Everyone was really impressed with this trike. It is very sturdy for our 2 year old. He is still a little short for the pedals but he likes to push it around for now.

Cheap Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red)


Simply a beauty, both from a design and manufacturing standpoint. Apparently made by Pacific for Schwinn, it seems to me to be a masterwork on both counts. Looks like a tough little cruiser too. Very nicely finished with its black leather-like handlebar streamers and chrome fenders all around. And pneumatic tires to boot! I'll never know it first hand, but I'm betting it's a smooth ride for my granddaughter...once she can reach the pedals.

OK, so I rushed into it a bit! That being said, diminutive as she is she was drawn to it like a bee to honey, hopping on and pushing like crazy with what she has for legs so far. Cute or what? ;-)Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Buying Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red)


This is a quality trike that looks great...there is no doubt about that.

HOWEVER, wait until you get a flat tire. Aside from a backorder that has literally going on for three months, we cannot find the appropriate sized 12" inner tube anywhere. Online, in town, across town, two hours away...this inner tube is not available except from Schwinn and according to their sales representative "they are always on backorder".

This bike has been sitting and my son is not a happy camper. It doesn't matter what a great bike it is if he can't ride it. I would seriously consider purchasing another trike unless you can purchase replacement inner tubes right then and there.Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Buy Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red)


Other reviews here say it well, but let me say it my own way. My wife and I were recently visiting our 2.5 year old granddaughter. One big issue is that many trikes just won't work for too small a child, and this child is only 5th percentile, but very busy and happy. We ordered this for her when he had only a few days left on our trip, and it arrived in 2 days with standard shipping.

Schwinn has been through its ups and downs, so I was a bit worried about quality, but it was very well built, with pneumatic tires. One should have a bike pump handy to keep them pumped up occasionally. The seat has a number of positions to accommodate children of different heights. The position farthest to the front was mildly tricky, as the curve of the frame made it difficult, but it wasn't that hard to do. We're talking steel and sturdy plastic seat here, not the flimsy stuff we saw other trikes made with.

There is the rear deck for a child to push on, etc., and that's plywood. It creaked a bit scarily when I put my weight on it at one time, but it stayed intact.

Other trikes easily tip. This one would take a lot of effort to tip, but just the same, a helmet is the rule.

Our granddaughter loves her "bike." She still hasn't quite figured out how to use the pedals, but she pushes herself along the ground and enjoys it. The only negative is that the trike is not compact. It will not fit in a Toyota Corolla's trunk, but has to go in a front seat. The handlebar could be removed to make the fit happen, but that's a bit of work.

This should last for many kids, from a bit over two to at least five in age. In this case, they really do build them like they did in the past.Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Purchase Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red)


I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old daughter as she was jealous of her two older sisters who have bicycles. We had an old cheap big wheel but it did not fit her well. She is beyond attached to this trike. As soon as it came in she helped us put it together and took her only about 15 minutes to learn how to peddle it around.

This trike is one of the best designs i've seen. The seat is lower than others making it a bit harder to tip over. My daughter is very small for her age, and the seat adjusts enough that she is able to ride it without a problem.Great design, beautiful styling and great performance. One of my favorite purchases i've made for my children.

I really don't konw how other brands can charge so much more than the price of this trike with IMO, far inferior design and build quality. Highly recommend this trike. I'd give it 6 stars if I could as my little girl gets such a huge smile riding it and she easily rides it around the 'loop', a .6 mile circle that we live on. And when we finish she's ready to go again.Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Where To Buy Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red)


I ordered this for my daughter's 2 year birthday. She LOVES this bike and I love the fact that it's so well made--no plastic (except the seat). Rubber tires and a metal frame, not to mention the cool long black fringe hanging from the handle bars and the wood platform on the back--very retro. There is room for her to grow into this bike as well. At 2 she hasn't quite mastered pedaling, but she's close to it! I would definitely recommend this bike, especially if you are looking for something well made that will last.Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red) Top Quality


We got this for our daughter who's 2 years and 9 months old. She can't get enough of it and always wants to ride her "bike." It's the best looking trike I've seen out there! The box says it has a maximum height of 38", but my daughter is around 37" and the seat is pushed forward to the second setting. I think this will last a while!

We have had this tricycle for just over a month(used only 3-4 times) and the front tire already deflated completely..even the back tires were also deflated..brought the air pump and when I put it on the tires, their tube inflates outside the tire(comes out of the rim) even with 10 psi (versus recommended 36 psi) so its totally useless..1 week past 30 day period so won't even get complete refund..Wish I had read the reviews on its flat tire issue while ordering..don't go for it!!!Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red) Immediately


I bought this for my (almost) 3 year old. He has two older brothers who have bicycles, and he thought a regular tricycle was for 'babies.' This one was perfect! He calls it his motorcycle. It was very easy to put together, and since the seat can change position as he grows, I imagine he will be having loads of fun for many years to come!Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red) Best Quality


Got it yesterday, my dad put it together and said it was easy to assemble. The trike has a great bell and the bike itself is very nice and its big too. I haven't seen a nicer one yet, even the neighbors kids were impressed by the trike and were commenting how nice it was. My son will turn 3 in 2 months and he loves it and hes been riding it all day inside and outside. Its very smooth compared to his old trike with the hard plastic tires.Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red) Get it now!


I bought one red trike for my first grandson who lives in Gibraltar. We took it on the airplane and assembled it when we arrived. Nice wide stance makes this virtually impossible to tip over. Construction is of high quality and the air tires make the ride nice and smooth. The only problem I experienced was when inserting the front fork assembly through the frame there was a lot of play. I realized that this could not be right and was going to remedy the situation but could no find a spacer to fit over the fork assembly and fill the gap. I then called Pacific Cyle who is the manufacturer and who's number is in the assembly manual about the situation. They have remedied the problem with a nylon bushing which slips onto the top and bottom of the fork assembly which they immediately mailed to me and it fixed the problem. Don't be alarmed as the ones manufactured after they realized the problem come with the bushings inserted in the gooseneck of the trike. I found this out when I ordered a blue trike for my 2nd grandson, even though he is not ready for it yet we will take it abroud when we make our next European trip to Gibraltar. If you purchase one without the bushings call and your will receive them within a week.Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red) Buy Now


I bought this tricycle for my daughter's second birthday. She loves the tricycle and it has a beautiful design. Concerns: This tricycle is probably more appropriate as a gift to 2.5 - 3 year old. My daughter is tall for her age and at 2.5 years old she can just now reach the pedals to adequately propel the tricycle, and this is with the seat moved forward to the closest setting. The handle bars require constant tighting as the crimp and bolt that is supposed to hold the handle bars in place works loose frequently. One of the rear wheels has a very slightly bent rim that causes the one of the rear wheels to wobble a little. I have not experienced any air leakage from the tires like some of the other folks rating this tricycle. Overall I am pleased with the tricycle but am a little disappointed in the quality. To me the Schwinn name means a quality product.Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

I bought this at a bike shop, not online. I looked high and low for a stable trike for my then two-year old. This is what we found:

It was so very cute, she loved it.

It's nearly impossible to tip, which is important because our driveway/riding area is large and not at all level. And it has the rubber tires which are hard to find and great for traction.

It's very heavy; she is 4 years old now and can finally ride it up the driveway (and it is NOT steep at all,just not level.)We have even taken it to the park and she only rides it for a 10 minutes or so before she's tired and wants to ride her funky little plastic thing with plastic tires!

I bought it for Christmas. By mid summer, the chrome was starting to rust in pits on the entire bike. And it was never left outside, only when she was actually riding the bike.

We have had no problems with the tires or spokes or any other quality issues - only the chrome. The bike is a year and a half old now, and looks like it's about 10 years old. Very disappointing.Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red) Decide Now


This trike has RUSTED. This trike was purchased for our 2 year old for her birthday. It spent the first 3 months or so in the house and now it is outside under the covered patio. I can't believe the amount of rust it has accumulated in 8 months. Bikes are supposed to be outside, and we live in the desert with a very arid climate. I would hate to think what would happen if you lived in a place with humidity or heaven forbid snow. I grew up with Schwinn and I am so disappointed with their product. We thought the trike was adorable and everyone who saw it commented on how cool it looked, now I don't want my little one to even ride it.Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

My youngone loves-loves her bike and it is a great looking bike and rides smooth,we notice
we were constantly having to inflate the back tire.

Sometimes we would have to take her off and inflate then let her ride again. Finally the tire went flat and will not inflate again,she is very unhappy and so I am.

Took out the inter-tube but have been able to find hole but tube won't stay inflated.Need new tube,also handle tends to turn side ways.This a nice looking bike- and easy to ride bike but not a good buy.Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).

Lowest Price Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red)


Good looking trike but I'm taking this back to toysrus because my 2.5 year old son cannot get the thing up to speed due to its weight. He's a really strong sort of kid too, just bad design if you ask me. but I have to give it points for making it down three concrete steps w/out my son getting hurt.

Just want to say, had the store had a display unit there is no way I would have bought it. I was thinking of something really fun for my son like a big wheel... This is for beach cruising and not going fast and spinning out. I live in Seattle with hills and there's no way to get this thing going on the even slight uphill sidewalks. We'll be getting the Radio Flyer Big Flyer instead.Get more detail about Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red).
