Princess 16-inch Big Wheel Review

The Big Wheel is still a big hit with kids today. My granddaughter did not enjoy riding her tricycle. The Big Wheel is more stable, with a lower center of gravity. She got on it and rode off like a pro. Easy to assemble; sturdy construction and kids still love 'em.

I think the seating position does not allow shorted kids to comfortably use it. Would be possibly fun for ages around 4 yrs.

Radio Flyer Tailspin Trike, Red Review

Radio Flyer Tailspin Trike, Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First, this toy definitely requires the rider to be wearing a helmet and I would also strongly recommend knee and elbow pads. As the description states, the rider drives straight and then pulls on the bar which results in a wicked spin out. Beware however that the rider will spin quickly and if they are close to anything when they pull this bar (such as a parked car), they could spin right into it. My husband was able to assemble the trike without any difficulty. What I noticed right away was this toy was really light weight. Our 6 (almost 7) year old son thought it was incredibly cool to ride. Unfortunately however the handlebar assembly snapped literally in my son's hand while he was in spinout mode making the bike completely inoperable (lightweight materials do have their downside). This occurred after only about 3 uses. There is clearly a lot of force placed on the handlebar when the rider is spinning out. We contacted Radio Flyer directly and they were aware of this problem (they thought they had resolved it before marketing the product) and sent the appropriate replacement parts. It took a while to disassemble the bike to install the new handlebar however it was worth the effort because our son really loves this trike. All in all, a very enjoyable toy and major thumbs up to Radio Flyer for standing behind their product and quickly replacing the defective parts.
Update....After several more uses, all tires are wearing out very prematurely. This trike will be inoperable after a few more uses as the tires, which are nearly bald, will have absolutely no tread left. Considering how expensive this trike was, I'm actually disappointed in the overall durability of this toy. It's still a lot of fun, just don't expect to have more than two months of serious play time with it.
2nd update - handle bar broke AGAIN. Had to send it back to the company for their quality assurance unit to inspect. They sent a replacement scooter (free) that our son loved.

Dora the Explorer Lights and Sounds Trike Review

Dora the Explorer Lights and Sounds Trike
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Admittedly this trike is a lot of fun, however not in the way that I think it was intended. Instead of actually riding the trike all my daughter does is sit and push the buttons. She can sit for hours and just play with the buttons, however she doesn't go more than a few feet whenever she tries to ride the trike. At first I thought that it was because she was just too distracted by the buttons, but I later realized that it was because it was too difficult for her to push the pedals. I bought this for her when she was 2 and now she is almost 4 but she still just sits on the trike and pushes the buttons and she still can't push the pedals well enough for it to be fun for her. I think it has to do with the positioning of the pedals in relation to the seat, because she just can't seem to get her feet at the right angle to be able to cycle the pedals in a smooth consistent motion. At first I thought maybe she just wasn't coordinated enough to ride a trike, but she does just fine on the Radio Flyers and even her big girl bike with training wheels is easier for her than this product which said it was for younger kids. Though I have to hand it to Fisher Price, almost two years and this puppy is still going strong. And its not like we took great care of this trike. It has been primarily outside the whole time and seen record rains and snowfall and, albeit the stickers are a little faded, all the buttons still work just fine. If only the trike itself was fun and easier to ride, this would have been a great toy.

Bike USA Lil Red Trike Review

Bike USA Lil Red Trike
Average Reviews:

It looked sturdy in the picture but was really made out of material a little thicker than tin foil. Also, a piece was missing that holds a wheel on. It was easy to assemble as long as you don't accidentally bend the metal pieces out of shape. One of our older kids was carrying it and accidentally dropped it in the gravel and it fell apart. We don't have a lot of money either, but my recommendation is to save the money up to buy a better bike.

until he learns to use the pedals.

Fisher-Price DC Super Friends Batman Lights & Sounds Trike Review

Fisher-Price DC Super Friends Batman Lights and Sounds Trike
Average Reviews:

My 2 year old is still too short to reach the pedals, even with the three adjustable seat positions, but he can scoot himself along. He loves this bike and everytime we go outside he wants to ride it. It has many different types of sounds with simple button pushes....(i.e. turning left, right, batman theme song, engine rev and much more). The stickers really add to how nice it looks but will start to come off if they get wet. He has had it for a couple of months now and it seems to be pretty durable. Of course the wheels start to wear but it's like any other wheel (bike, car, etc) that moves along the ground. The other kids in the neighborhood love it too. I would highly recommend this bike.

Razor Graffiti Chalk Scooter Review

Razor Graffiti Chalk Scooter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My 9-year-old son bought the scooter with his birthday money. He already had a Razor scooter, but was excited about the "Graffiti" feature. When he first used it, he loved it. Like all Razor scooters, he was able to assemble it quickly out of the box. It came with 6 pieces of chalk, with a spiral cut in the cone shaped tips to fit into the scooter springs. After two short trips around the block, the first three were completely used up. Refills are available for $5 for a package of 6. That's $2.50 per use - this product will become very expensive with time. We tried fitting the scooter with Crayola chalk of the same shape, but without the spiral cut to twist them in - they didn't work. He is very sad, and is sorry he wasted his $50 of birthday money.

The Original Big Wheel 16 Inch Review

The Original Big Wheel 16 Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! Only giving 1 Star because I cannot give ZERO stars.
The only thing this product has in common with the "Original" Big Wheel is the name and stickers (which Alpha International and Gamma 2 apparently bought, hoping to cash in on the nostalgia-market of my demographic).
By my count a full 20 of the 46 (43%) reviews on Target.com reported missing parts. This review makes 21 (& bumps the percentage to 45%). That is an unacceptable failure rate, and does not even account the negative reviews relating to the near-impossibility of actually putting the big wheel together.
We purchased this toy for our son for Christmas. Building it prior to Christmas, I discovered the big wheel was missing the axle. Thank you, Target, Alpha International, and Gamma 2 for leaving me to explain to my 2 1/2 year old that he could not have the one thing for which he actually asked, because "Santa goofed." When I was finally able to get a hold of someone who could take an order for a new part, I was shipped two rear wheels, not the axle needed. Another phone call resulted in the delivery of an EMPTY container, so poorly packaged that the axle slid out while in transit. Today I finally received the axle and again tried to build the gift (a full FOURTEEN days after Christmas). On my first attempt to insert the seat posts into the corresponding holes on the frame of the big wheel, the right post broke.
The "customer service" number in the instructions is a joke; all Big Wheel inquiries must be made via[...], which advises that there is a 5-7 lead time before they can / will respond. Target's corporate call center was less than helpful, giving the standard "so sorry to hear that" line without offering much in the way of resolution.
46 reviews and a 1.5 Star rating [....]... What is Target going to do to respond to this? Target... if you cannot do business with reputable partners who provide quality products, why should the public do business with you?

Radio Flyer Twist Trike Review

Radio Flyer Twist Trike
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just bought this tricycle for my son who will be 2 in a couple of weeks. He is almost 35 inches and several inches too short for this tricycle. I am disappointed the manufacturer advertises this bike for 2+ years, but doesn't qualify it with the child's height needed to ride the bike. While the bike is adjustable, it isn't adjustable until your child is ready for the chopper side. That means your child has to be about 36-37 inches at least to be tall enough to start using this bike. My son was so excited to have his first bicycle, but is too small to ride this one. The advertising is misleading...
The bike was easy to assemble and appears to be sturdy. I would recommend it for parents of older children (or taller 2 year olds).

This durable riding toy grows with your child and will keep him wheelin' for years. The Twist Trike is a two-in-one toy that twists from a trike to a chopper in a few easy seconds. Kids can pedal around on the trike for the recommended age range of two to four years old. When they grow out of it, parents can use the patented quick-release twist 'n lock mechanism to transform the trike into a chopper. Designed for ages four to seven, the chopper sits lower on the ground with a single tire in front and two in back. When in chopper mode, the seat adjusts, so it grows with your child. Both styles feature a durable molded construction and a controlled turning radius for stability. The body measures 31.5" x 23" x 34". Holds up to 65 pounds.

I bought this for my 2 year-old grandson and he loves it. It assembled very easily and quickly. He loves to push the different buttons and listen to the variety of sounds. His feet don't quite reach the pedals yet, but he is still able to push himself around without his feet getting stuck or caught on the bike. The adjustable seat is a bonus too, because he won't outgrow it too fast.

Big Wheels - 16 inch The Original Review

Big Wheels - 16 inch The Original
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this item for my 2 year old's birthday. Unfortunately he is not quite big enough to reach the pedals, but his older brother (almost 4) loves it. He is zipping around the driveway and we even put out pieces of plywood for 'jumps'. He has used it all summer with zero problems.
I read the complaints about the durability and was concerned about purchasing the big wheel, but there is not alternative product out there in the same price range. I decided to go for it and I'm glad I did. Make no mistake - assembly is a pain. Everything went smooth except getting the pedals on. I ended up taking it into my shop and bracing it on my work bench while I tapped the pedal into position with a hammer. I was worried about breaking the plastic with the hammer, but using extra caution I was able to get the pedal COMPLETELY into place. I suspect that anyone who had problems with the pedals falling off only got the pedal on partway. It took 10-15 minutes to get these pedals on and I couldn't pull them off if I tried.
If you're looking at the big wheel for your little one, I say go for it. Instructions should say 'patience required', but take a deep breath, do it right the first time, and then sit back and enjoy watching your kids have a blast zipping up and down the driveway.

Huffy Green Machine Review

Huffy Green Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This update of the old Big Wheel style "Green Machine" is made to handle the height, weight and wear and tear of big boys (and girls, up to the latter 30s have even been caught on it), yet the seat is easily adjusted so that the average 5-year-old can reach its pedals. The main cool feature is the dual lever steering. Just like with the original hollow model plastic version, pulling on the steering levers in opposite directions sends the machine into a wicked spin-out that kids just can't get enough of. Yet under the usage of some pretty crazy 6, 9 and 12 year olds on a steep downhill driveway, the machine has almost always remained three wheels on the ground.
So first, I am amazed at the staying play value of this toy. For two years now, it has been the first toy out of the garage every time the door opens. And second, I am amazed at its durability. The 9 year old who uses it reguarly is an Evel Kneivel who is notorious for breaking my children's toys left and right, and so far, it has held up without a squeak.
This was a million times better value for our hundred spot, than the darn motorized motorcycle we bought a couple years prior for twice that amount which only lasted a year before the gears stripped. Definitely consider this for your 5-10 year old boy, even if he already has a two-wheeler. It's a whole different kind of fun.
***** all the way!

Radio Flyer 79S Big Flyer Review

Average Reviews:

I wanted to replace a tricycle, because our son was wheeling downhill too fast for me and I wanted him on a more stable, less likely to tip over three wheeler. Now four and at 42" tall, he is just big enough to pedal it. He has a bit of a problem going up our slight hills, but I think that will improve as he gets taller. The adjustable seat works well, and overall is well made and easy to assemble. The flag makes him more visable, but I do not let him ride without me along side on my bike anyway. For me, it is the coolest looking Big Wheel out there. With two more adjustments left in the seat, there's plenty of room for him to grow.
