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.

My daughters loved the music, colors, and sound but could not ride theirs!!! just because the wheels are made of bad quality.
Company should consider changing the wheels.

My 3 year old daughter loves this bike. She can reach the pedals and "cruise" around on her own with ease. She loves the music and the accessories on the bike as well. Great purchase well worth the money!
Honest reviews on Fisher-Price Dora the Explorer Lights and Sounds Trike
My 2 yr old granddaughter loves her new "DORA TRIKE"! The front wheel is a little stiff to turn, but I am sure it will correct itself the more she rides it. I am very pleased with this purchase.
Thank you!

I bought this tricycle for my daughter since she's 8 months. She likes to play with the music buttons. When she's 9 months, she couldn't walk yet but could push this tricycle around the living room. It's rather light for this task so sometimes she fell but she didn't mind at all. She would continue pushing it around right after that! :) Some stickers on the tricycle don't stick well but in general, it's a a very cute toy for my daughter. Update: She is 11 months old now, can walk a little but still likes to chase me by pushing the tricycle behind me. It's a fun game for us every day! :)
