We boght this tricycle two weeks ago for our 18 month old son. He is definitely too little to ride it by himself and his feet can barely reach the pedals but he loves it anyway. We go for a walk every day and he enjoys being pushed around on it. He has alrady started to figure out how to steer the tricycle. I think the Radio Flyer Classic Red is a wonderful classic toy with a great educational value.
Materials are sturdy so the tricycle should last us for a long time. Assembly is very easy and only takes about 5 minutes.
The only complaint I would have is the fact that rubber tires smell horrific. We could not keep the trike in the house the first few days as the smell was disgusting and unbearable. But that sure doesn't stop it from being a great toy. THUMBS UP. Great buy!

We have a Kettler trike which was just too difficult for our very tall three year old to ride on. The Radio Flyer is a great choice if you have a toddler with long legs. The upright nature of the bike seems to be helping our toddler learn to peddle. I'd recommend the Radio Flyer.
Best Deals for Radio Flyer Classic Red 10" Tricycle with Push Handle
IWe bought this tricycle for our son's second birthday because we wanted a durable, old school trike (which this is)and we also needed something with a parent push handle since we knew our son was still pretty young to peddle himself. There was no problem with him reaching the peddles with the seat on the lowest setting (and he is small for his age) and he quickly got the hang of getting on and off by himself (and is so proud of it too).
My disappointment with this trike comes with the knut/clamp that holds the handle bars in place and with the parent push handle. The clamp can not be tightened enough to keep the handle bars from slipping off-center, which messes up the steering completely. (I think I remember reading this in another review and I thought, "well bare down, man, and tighten that sucker!"but it CAN NOT be tightened sufficiently.
Also, the parent push handle pushes just fine, but doesn't steer the trike, and chances are if your kid can't peddle, they probably don't grasp steering either. So you can certainly push the trike straight if your kid doesn't touch the handle bars and veer you off course, or you can constantly be bending down to steer it yourself, in which case you will also end up having to realign those handle bars every so often too.
All-in-all this trike is cool and our son loves it, but we don't take it out as much as we would like because the features that are intended to make it "parent friendly" are just aggrivating. But once our son can ride it on his own it will be fine... except for having to carry a wrench around to fix those handle bars.
Honest reviews on Radio Flyer Classic Red 10" Tricycle with Push Handle
Bought this for my toddler so he can learn to ride while we walk. We love the look and nostalgia of the radio flyer. Since this had a handle bar so we could help control, we immediately got it. He doesn't know how to ride it on his own...he'll grow into that. BUT the push bar does nothing unless he rides the trike himself. It doesn't help steer so we are constantly veering into the grass or off the sidewalk. We have to lift back to get turn corners or to straighten out. There is nowhere for his feet when we push and he doesn't pedal. Hopefully he will grow into it but this makes the push handle pointless...not worth the extra $.

I really like this tricycle. It reminds me of when I was a kid way too long ago. Radio Flyer has been around a long time. I really like that. It has all the Radio Flyer quality that I was used to when I was a kid. Very sturdy and well built. Good instructions on how to assemble. It took me about 30 minutes to assemble only because I could not find my hammer. This is what took the most time. If I had all the tools available, it should have only taken 10 or 15 minutes at the most.
This tricycle has a rod in the back which allows you to keep your child going the right direction. This rod is a great addition for a beginner tricycle. It can be removed when no longer needed. If you push the rod slowly and help your child to steer with his or her arms and hands then your child will quickly learn how to steer this great toy. Start out slow and don't do the steering yourself. Pull and push on your child's arms and hands to steer the tricycle. This way they more quickly learn what is required to steer.
The only thing I did not like was that it was made in China. However, I did not ding the product for being made in China. The price was great for the quality of this product. I sure would like to see "Made in the USA" more. Kind of saddens you when the great toys of yesterday are no longer made in the good ole USA. Still rated it 5 stars because it does look to be very sturdy and should be around in the family a long time. I still use a 30 years old Radio Flyer wagon to pull my 2 year old in. I used it years ago with my second child who is now 30 years old. Sure do like the name brand.
NOTE: I was careful to read the reviews before I bought this tricycle for my 2 year old. Taking a few minutes reading reviews can save you a whole lot of time down the road. This is something I am doing more and more as I order more products over the internet versus buying locally. Most local retailers sell junk so you will have to buy again soon. This helps them maximize their profits. But does you little good. This is why I am more and more an internet shopper for what my family needs and wants. I live in a large metropolitan area with many stores close by and I am convinced that most of what the local stores are selling is junk so they can make another sale soon of the same type of product.
