Reviews of Fisher-Price Action Sounds Trike

Customer Ratings:

My son has a few bikes already, but since I got it for him about a month ago, this is his first choice to ride. It seems well-made and it only took about a half hour to put together. It wasn't too hard and the directions were pretty clear. Normally, I would rather get the bike already put together, but one of the reviews said it wasn't too bad, and I'm glad I didn't let that deter me.

It isn't great for riding on any hilly areas. The tires are plastic and it's hard to pedal it going uphill without the pedals moving without engaging the wheels. But any park with a reasonably level surface is great and it doesn't take up too much room in the car. We let our son ride in the house and in the backyard patio area and I haven't noticed any damage to our laminate wood floors. (Hard to say since our floors have been through a lot with him, though.)

He loves to pretend he is riding a motorcycle and this bike makes pretty cool sounds. I'm totally immune to noise at this point, so it doesn't bother me, but there is an on-off switch for the sounds (and you can always take the batteries out.)

I'm really glad I got this bike even though we have two other tricycles and one 2 wheeler with training wheels. His friends love to come over and ride together, so it's worth it to get an extra bike or two. And the price was so reasonable, I didn't have to get it used. I would definitely recommend this bike.

I bought this for my son's second birthday, and he loves it. Unfortunately, at 3ft tall he is still too short to pedal, but he scoots around in it just the same. My other son is six, and since the seat is adjustable, he can ride around. Which is great, because he is showing my 2 yr old how to ride and push all the buttons. Since it's made of very sturdy plastic, it should last quite a while. The wheels are hard plastic as well, with no traction, so the kids tend to spin out quite a bit. There are a lot of different sound effects, and can be quite loud, but they love the motorcycle sounds. All and all the kids are happy, so I'm happy. Well worth the money.

Our Grandson just loves this pedal riding toy the best, because it has sounds & music. He loves to just turn on the music & dance. It is such a joy to watch him have so much fun!

I recently purchased a new bike, and wanted to make sure it was protected against theft. My last bike, a Mongoose from Walmart, was stolen while locked up one night. The jerk just used bolt cutters to get right through the lock I had, it was a cheap bike and a cheap lock so I wasn't too disappointed. However, after spending over $500 on my bike this time around I wanted something that offered a little more protection. Enter the OnGuard Pitbull. This thing is heavy, and I would love to see someone try to cut this thing with standard bolt cutters. The title is misleading, as the cable it comes with is 4 feet, not 4 inches. It' great, actually thicker than the one that held my last bike "safe," it just needs a padlock to close it up. The mounting bracket attaches easily, and the lock is out of the way while riding. It comes with a set of 5 keys, one of which has an LED light to help find the lock in the darkvery useful for finding anything dropped on the ground as well. I read several places to get a lock that was 10% the price of your bike, so I took this to heart when I got this lock, not quite 10%, but I feel I got a good deal on it. Shipping took a little longer than expected but it was well-packaged and arrived the day before I got my bike. Their $2000 or so theft protection guarantee is pretty nice as well, in case someone can actually break this thing.

I just received mine today and it appears to be a fairly serious lock. Comments about the inadequacy of the mounting bracket are accurate... I tried to use it on the rear stay and couldn't find a place to mount it where it didn't smack the frame or get in the way of riding, and the lock is so heavy that I was afraid that a good bounce would knock it right out of the bracket. I use a Topeak beam rear rack with a matching bag to carry incidentals when riding around...keys, wallet, glasses etc. and my solution to the problem was to carry the cross bar and cable in the rear rack bag and use the mounting bracket to just hold the u-bar part of the lock (the assembled lock is simply too big to fit into the bag when put together). This seems to work very well and having shed half the weight of the lock makes the bracket closer to being adequate and the U-bar is comfortably out of the way when riding. The cable is of generous length, plenty to secure the front wheel, 4 feet in length, not 4" like the description says (and which has already been pointed out by others). Certainly the cable provides not much more than some additional visual deterrent and maybe a few seconds additional time if someone were quite determined to steal my bike, but I guess I have about as much security as is reasonable to carry around. My bike is brand new, a Specialized Hardrock Disc and on my first brief ride around town I already got some serious stares from a couple of guys up in the town square, and some comments about what a great looking bike it was from a group of guys I was near while waiting for a light to change. While I am glad to have a nice looking bike, it worries me that it gets as much attention as it apparently does... all in the space of 10 or so minutes.

This seems pretty strong and it is nice that it comes with so many keys. I trust my bikes with this lock much more than a cable lock and it is long enough to go through the bike frame and rack frame.

This is my first lock. I love the fact comes with 4 feet loop cable so I can hook the wheels to the frame of the bike.

This is a super sturdy lock. It would take some serious tool to cut through these locks. I also like this lock because it comes with the cable that allows you to hook the wheels to the frame of the bike. That being said, it's very difficult to use. The key and lock is difficult to turn and couple of times, when I thought the lock had snapped into place, it wasn't, and tugs off. I still haven't decided if I like these locks. If given the chance again, I probably won't buy them again.

All the reviews said this product is heavy. They are right! When I received the box, I used a cart to take it to my truck (hard to get my short arms around the box to carry it comfortably). The trailer/stroller fully assembled is heavier than one would expect however, pushing it or pulling it on a bike is a snap. I sometimes forget it's behind my bike it rolls effortlessly. My 2yr old daughter loved her first ride in it and I'm ready to take her again. I chose this model over other brands like Instep because the construction seems more solid, study, and will last longer for not much more money. Plus it functions as a heavy duty stroller. My 2yr old will outgrow this a little faster than I anticipated (she will get taller and not fit comfortably quickly). I plan on selling the trailer online to recover some of the investment but I feel it will be worth the money even if I kept it.

Cons:

Not easy to collapse

Does not fold easily without taking off the wheel guards, then the wheels, the front wheel (which is time consuming but easy), taking off the canvas cover on top (not the sides), removing a horizontal brace between the two side pieces, removing the flag, removing the handlebar/brake (easy to do), then it will fold flat and you have a lot of left over pieces. It probably takes about 3-5 minutes for the average person to collapse so that's not bad but not as easy as a standard stroller. Some Mom's/Ladies would find it very difficult if you are not very mechanically inclined (no offense ladies) but my wife would get frustrated with this item. Plus you have a lot of pieces to keep up with in your car. If you don't mind all of this, it's a good product.

Heavy item, not good for ladies who want to transport it frequently in their SUV/car/van

Pros:

Its perfect for long day trips to theme parks and long term outings.

Rugged construction, should last many years for muliple kids if taken care of

Has a coil spring suspension which helps absorb bumps on sidewalks

Has actual bike tires on it that can be replaced if needed, not some plastic wheels that are specific to manufacturer

In comparison to the Instep models, this thing is a tank or the "Cadillac" compared to the Instep's Chevy Cobalt.

The stroller came faster than expected, it was easy to assemble and looks great. The swivel on the front wheel works good if you leave it loose but if you tighten the bolt down snug it doesnt spin worth a crap. The brakes needed some major adjusting and they are laughable because the brake consists of a bar that pulls against the tires when engaged to slow it down, they work though it wont stop very quickly in emergency situations. The overall quality is fantastic and I am very happy with this purchase.

I bought this trailer on Amazon based on a few great reviews it had and cheap price. The most basic Burley trailer is at least three times more expensive. Unfortunately, in this case you get what you paid for.

The trailer looks and feels poorly made. It is unstable and can be tipped over easily. None of the brakes worked, which I later noticed was also other customer's complaint.

I contacted Aosom Direct company about defective brakes in this trailer and they told me to ship it back to them. I paid $70 dollars for shipping (it is big and heavy), and now the company refuses to reimburse my shipping expenses.

Every time I contact them, they just keep coming up with different excuses. First they said I didn't tell them right away the item was defective. When I demonstrated that I did, they asked me if I have a picture of the defect. How can you have a picture of brakes that just don't brake? Finally they told me that not working brakes are not considered a defect in this product and refused to comment any more.

So in the end after wasting $25 + $70 on shipping this useless Aosom trailer back and forth, we had to go with Burley trailer. It is expensive, but has none of the problems of Aosom trailer: it is sturdy, very well made, nicely padded and comfortable. Most importantly both of its brakes work perfectly well which makes it suitable for any use: jogging, rollerblading, or biking.

I would never buy again from Aosom Direct company, they are unethical and don't care about their customers.

I bought this back in march and it is a great stroller/trailer. It pulls really easy and my son loves it. This model also has the stroller wheel which mounts on the back of the unit to keep the storage area freed up. It will easily hold two kids and store diaper bags and toys in the back.

Recently I had the swivel wheel come apart and I called customer support. They sent me the parts free of charge. Great service and very friendly.

PROs:

-Tons of room for two kids, toys, blankets, and bags

-Spring suspension really does produce a nice, smooth ride

-Swivel-n-Lock front wheel

-Wheel guards

-Parking brake

-Sturdy

-Glides smoothly behind me (or in front while jogging), I hardly notice it

-Great wheels, tires, and bearings

-Adjustable jogging handle

CONs:

-Difficult to put together, instructions are very poor

-Does not break down very well for easy transport in a vehicle (pretty much have to take it all apart)

-With it being sturdy also means its heavy

-Tons of room means it really wide, does not fit through a normal door

-The brake is just a small medal rod that pushes against the tire, and one of the brakes is displaced and I could not install the medal rod because the tire was in the way

The CON list may be long, but in my opinion only knocked one star off. This is a great trailer and I look forward to many years with it!

Love the bike! It is good quality, Nirve had great customer service, it was easy to assemble (just wheels and handle bars), and it is a better value than the Electra bikes.

This bike is great! It was easy to put together, comfortable to ride, and looks awesome! I was worried that 3 speeds wasn't going to be enough but it is. First gear is easy to peddle but doesn't go very fast. Second gear is okay. And third gear will get up to a decent speed.

I was worried I might be too heavy for this bike at 300lbs, but it handles my weight fine. It is a BIG bike. I only wish I had bought it when it was on sale!

As soon as I saw the Nirve Forty-Niner I wanted it. It's like a bike version of a Les Paul Studio Classic guitar: works great built to last looks fabulous. I got the 3 speed black 49er and she got the pink Lahina 7 speed. We've only had them a week as of this writing and mine has about 30 miles on it. Not long enough to speak to durability but so far we are loving these bikes. The 7 speed works well though for me anything beyond 3 for a cruiser is overkill.

Buy from a quality bike shop if you can, to avoid the assembly issues others have written about and for the tuneup services and accessories like a quality lock.

More background:

My wife and I wanted cruisers to ride to LA Fitness and around town mostly flat suburban riding. We had a budget of about $400 per bike and wanted whatever we chose to be fun, sturdy, and made in the USA if possible. We found out about Nirve after searching the Internet for a while and the retro look of their bikes hooked us immediately.

Nirve is headquartered about 20 miles from us which came as a surprise since we never heard of them. We weren't up for assembling anything, so we decided not to order online. Besides, we wanted to see and test the different models before buying. As far as we can tell this bike is designed in the USA (Huntington Beach), but made in China.

Got this bike for my 2yo last week after doing a lot of research. Before I talk about the product I need to address the reviews found on this site and others. It is clear to me that many of the reviews were either paid for or written by the manufacturer. Just look at the words and phrasing. Also notice most are not confirmed buyers nor do they have other reviews. Many, many of the same words and very similar phrasing. I'd say 75% of the reviews are fake which really annoys me when they try to game the system. Happens more and more and something needs to be done about it.

On to the bike. Got it in orange and it is a quality bike. Very light, small and adjustable. I actually prefer this one over the mini glider because it has air tires as opposed to foam. Big, big difference. They roll better and just look better. My 2yo had not problem straddling the bike with both feet on the ground. The orange is a great color. All of his friends are jealous because they say he is riding a 2 wheeler. Right now he just walks along with it. May be some time before he glides.

The movable footrest and hand brake are nice to have but he may never use them.

Overall, I think this bike is the best option in it's price range and would recommend over the mini glider and strider.

We ordered the orange bike. It is no longer shipping with air tires, which was the primary reason for our purchase. We will be returning this, as it was not clearly stated prior to our transaction that the bike is now made with EVA.

(EZ12-O) Ezee Glider Orange Air Tires (purchased directly from glidebikes.com)

The bike is around the quality I'd expect for ~$100. Solid, but a little clunky. I purchased this bike since it seemed to be one of the few bikes available for an average height 19month old. He is bike crazy so he doesn't seem to be anywhere close to giving up on it, but he has been frustrated with the bike due its significant weight. I removed the brake and peg bar to lighten the load some, but I wish I had been more aware of the weight. He is not using the seat on it's lowest setting, although he can easily reach the handle bars they seem too far away for his comfort.

I'm sure he'll figure it out, but it's a bit heart breaking to see him struggle with this one when he so easily uses our friends' lighter weight balance bikes. The air tires contribute a lot to the weight and I'm still optimistic that in a few months he'll have developed the strength and balance to make the air tires an advantage instead of a hindrance. Fortunately, the tires inflated fine and there was no problem as experienced by others reviewing this bike that had long slits in the innertube. The bike was easy to put together but clunky in it's quality. Handle bars go up and down but don't adjust closer to seat. Seat goes up and down but can't be moved closer to handlebars. Rear wheel has some sort of built in friction generator even with brake removed that prevents it from spinning freely. I'm sure this is a design feature to slow down gliding speeds but at the moment it just seems to require greater force to push along.

Overall, I think the bike is worth $100, I awarded it 3 stars based on the fact that it seems to be designed for younger/smaller children yet it's weight is a huge hindrance to anyone that size. As he ages I'm sure it'll work out fine, there seems to be plenty of extendability so I don't think we'll have any problem adjusting the seat and handlebar heights as he grows.

Honest reviews on Glide Bikes EZee Glider Kid's Balance Bike (12-Inch)

We've had this bike a year now. We got it for our son several months after he turned two. After about 4-5 months he was balancing without using his feet. We've had tons of people comment on what a neat bike this is, but I have not seen any other balance bikes around. I recommend it to everybody. He can also ride it off-road, thru the yard etc, propelling it with his feet, because of the big tires. He likes to chase our dog around.

It's nice because he can ride a bike like big sis. Tricycles don't even come close.

The one negative I've found is that the had brake is way too hard for a toddler to use, but he just drags his feet when he wants to stop, so it's really not necessary anyway. Just have to make sure they don't wear nice new shoes when riding the bike, unless you want the toes worn out.

This bike has been a great find for us.

I purchased this Ezze Glider Balance Bike for my grandson this year and last year I purchased a Strider Balance Bike for my other grandson. I was much more impressed with this bike. Attractive, solid & sturdy and looked liked a real bike minus the pedals. Most toddlers won't use the hand brake, but looks cool. Now for my grandson's review:

Cam, (nick-named Bam-Bam) who is is strong, aggressive, w/ a leader type personality and thinks he is much older than he is was not impressed w/ the bold black Ezee Glider Bike. His first response, "Where are the pedals? Once on it he said, "It does not work, where are the pedals?" He then threw it on the ground and ran over to use his hand me down bikes w/ pedals and has refused to get on the Ezee Glider ever since.

Comparison Review: Stephen who got the Neon Green Strider Balance Bike is known to think things through before he act and is the type to sit back and watch before he does anything new. In contrast he was happy w/ his Strider Balance Bike and has used it just about everyday. He even rides on it in the basement.

My final thoughts: The Ezee Glider is more eye appealing and is above average quality at a higher cost. Whereas the Strider is a less expense, average quality and basic. Consider your budget when comparison shopping and the child's personality. Side note: My daughter's (the mother's) picked out the bikes I purchased for each child. I did not do any comparison shopping prior to each purchase.

I bought this out of nostalgia having had a Big Wheel as a child. Do not let the name fool you: this product in no way resembles the "original" in quality or function. Lets start with the assembly instructions or lack there of. Basically all you get is a schematic drawing with numbered steps. There are no written instructions. I am quite handy at do-it-yourself assembly and I struggled for 2 hours to put this thing together. It was too late last night for my son to try it out by the time I got it together so the first test drive was this morning before preschool. This is where the real disappointment comes in. The hand brake does not disengage, which may be too technical of a term for this flimsy braking mechanism. It rubs on the tire continuously. Adjustments are not possible. Compounding that problem is the fact that every tiny pebble on the sidewalk gets lodged between the brake and the tire making it impossible for the child to pedal the bike. My 5 year old announced this morning that hes was "indignified" by this frustrating test drive and stated "this isn't a very good Big Wheel. I like the one at Toys R Us better." From the mouths of babes. Going back to Toys R Us and buying the one I should have bought in the first place the one Radio Flyer makes. It may not have a hand brake and may not be nostalgic but at least the kid could ride that one. As for this one: right back in the box it goes and I'm returning it.

I put it together in less than an hour. No major problems. The hardest part was getting the rear axle through both axle holes. A little elbow grease and patience were needed, but it's nothing your typical mom (like me) can't handle.

My 5yo son LOVES it! And he loves the box, too!

Spin-out brake works great! The faster you go, the cooler the spin-out.

If needed later, you can order any Original Big Wheel part from their website. I won't post it out of respect for Amazon.com, but they don't sell directly from their site, anyway. Google it.

This thing is so cool I wish I could ride it, like I did back in the early 80's. The sound of the wheels cruising on the sidewalk brings back so many fond memories...

I'm pleased with this purchase in every way, and my son is, as well. Buy one!

I bought 2 of these for my niece and nephew, and they absolutely love it! Assembly didn't take that long. Make sure you put the rods through the bike before screwing the parts together to make assembly easier.

The color of the bike is just a little different than the picture displayed. The red base, wheels, and yellow handle bars are the same as in the picture; however, the seat and foot pedals are yellow, and both the hand brake and attachment from the base to the large wheel in the front are blue (opposite of what you see in the picture). If you look at the picture on the box (refer to 2nd image posted), they show 2 different color brakes (yellow on one bike and red on the other), so I assume the colors can vary aside from the red base and the yellow handle bars. Overall, the bike looks great, and the kids love riding it!
