Ride on Toys

The radio flyer tricycle is a great fit for kids whose feet can’t quite reach the pedals yet. This radio flyer classic red tricycle with push handle gives little ones all the momentum they need to get the trike moving easily. The seat was at just the right height for most of our two-year old testers to be able to push this 10-inch trike around with ease.

The handlebars on radio flyer tricycles are nice and wide to aid in the ease of a toddler’s grasp. The grips help the kids hold on tight. There’s a step on the back, too, that allows for passengers. Tiny tots love to pedal and push the radio flyer classic red tricycle with push handle along while a friend and playmate is riding on the back. Parents will love the push handle on the back as this helps kids ease into eventually riding a one on their own. In the beginning, however, parents can guide and control the movement and direction of the toy.

While the little ones playing with the radio flyer trikes didn’t exactly pay 100 percent attention when we told them that their toy had been bestowed with several awards, the ears of their parents perked up at the announcement that this tricycle won the Best Classic Toy Award from Dr. Toy.

One of the best features on the trike is that the push handle can adjust to three different comfort level positions and it is also removable. The seat is adjustable and during testing, our staff easily adjusted the seat position to fit those children who were a little taller or a little shorter than average. This also bodes well for the trike to be able to grow with the child.

When we took the radio flyer classic red tricycle with push handle outside for an “all-terrain” evaluation, we were pleased to find that the rubber on the wheels is very durable and still provided for a smooth ride for the youngsters, even on rocky terrain.

While the children testing the tricycles, ranging in age from two years to four years, noticed the gleam of the chrome handlebars and the fascinating red color of the trike, most were more enthralled with how the tricycle “cornered” around the sidewalks. They were concerned more with the action, but some of the future sports car owners also had an eye for the sturdy steel construction and gleaming chrome, you could tell.

For many parents, the “Radio Flyer” name has a feeling of nostalgia and it harkens back to the early 1900s and the many memories made with those first little red wagons. Red seems to be a good color of choice for kids – it is bright and it gets their attention. It is sure to make good memories for your child. As with any toy, especially for a younger child, when you are first trying it out, make sure an adult is available to watch over your child as they get a feel for this new toy.
