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).
