Ride on Toys

One of the best features of the schwinn roadster tricycle is the ease and comfort for kids of getting on and off the trike.  The back of this schwinn tricycle has a wider design, and with the addition of the seat sitting lower to the ground, this makes it easier for little ones to get on and off the toy.  The wide back frame helps to firmly hold the seat upright and also gives the toy stability to guard against accidental tip-overs.

The sturdy front and back tires are filled with air to provide the child with a smoother ride.  The tire in front is 12 inches and the back two tires are eight inches each.  The shiny chrome fenders resting above the tires adds to the elegant look of the trike.  Children are drawn to shiny and brightly colored objects.  The frame which the tires carry is composed of durable heavy-duty steel providing a solid foundation for your child to ride/steer the toy.  It is available in three colors: red, blue, and pink.  During the testing session, all three colors were chosen by the participating children.

The bucket seat on the schwinn roadster tricycle can easily be adjusted without any tools to five different positions offering maximum comfort for the child.  The trike has been rated for use by children ages 3 years to 6 years.  An important feature on this schwinn tricycle is the pedals.  The pedals provide a good grip with rubber accents that help keep the child’s feet snugly in place while pedaling.  As well, the handlebars offer sturdy gripping ability and the ends of the handlebars are raised to help ensure a child’s hands stay in place while driving/riding the toy.  The curved nature of the handlebars also seems to maximize the comfort for little ones’ hands, holding onto the trike.  Parents can adjust the handlebars with a wrench if needed.

The children participating in the staff’s testing session showed a penchant for ringing the bell.  Corners were being rounded, bells were ringing, tassels flying – it was clear the children were enjoying them.

To add even more style to this retro-looking schwinn roadster trike, a wooden deck behind the bucket seat has the Schwinn logo burned in.  Schwinn, the manufacturer of this tricycle, is synonymous with American culture and quality.  The company was established in 1895 and has a solid reputation that parents know they can rely on for quality and durability.

The testing session found safety of it to be a huge plus, as one little girl decided to stand in the seat and turn the wheel, and still yet the trike did not tip over!  Our staff, and a few adventurous parents, found this trike easy to assemble, even for those not having much prior assembly experience.  The one thing that parents should remember about this tricycle is that the tires are filled with air and are not plastic.  Therefore, the tires might need some extra air pumped into them from time to time.  With that said, air-filled tires tend to provide a smoother ride and much more closely resemble the feel of a “grown-up” bicycle.
