Product Description:

Steering is one of the hardest things to learn when children start riding a tricycle. This innovative internal geared steering mechanism helps you to steer while children keep their hands on the handle bars. Plus, the fabric canopy keeps their skin protected from harmful UV rays. Features air tires for a super soft, quiet ride. Freewheeling pedals allow your little rider to coast, while you push. Includes molded-in cup holders and storage for hands-free, think-ahead planning - little one is going to be hungry and thirsty after your adventure! There's a ringing bell to help teach rules of the road. The seat is adjustable, with 10" front wheel, oversized steel tubular frame and the handle is removable for that wonderful day when little one says, "I can do it!." Holds up to 75 pounds. Measures 35.25"L x 20"W x 36.6"H. Some assembly required.

Great Trike
My son is 2 and loves this trike. He did not know how to peddle when we got it for him but it only took him a few days on this trike to learn. It seems very durable and we like that we can take him on walks with it and not have to chase him. It has no brakes but I think he would not have learned to peddle so easy if it did have brakes. I would recommend this to anyone with a 2 yr old.

Best Christmas Gift
We have had this for 6 months and our son still loves to ride it. It has lasted through walks on dirt roads, and riding down the ditch. Our son is now already riding without much of our help. The only thing that I don't like: this is great for tall people-my husband loves it! But not so much for those of us who are shorter, I'm 5"1' and the handle is a bit high. Otherwise, this is the perfect gift for 18 months and up.

The most fun my 2.5 year old has had in a long time!
This was very easy to assemble, once we got the front tire on the right way. The handle/canapy assembly is easy to put on, and remove. My daughter went from not able to peddle the old trike to riding this one up and down the driveway in 3 days. She loves it, and it will fit her for at least a couple more years.
My husband likes the rubber tires, and I like the fact that it's very hard to tip over.
We all like the bucket to carry the mail home from the postoffice, and the cup holder on the canapy is really handy at the fairgrounds.

My 23 m.o. Loves Her Trike
A nice tricycle for my baby. She hasn't figured out the pedals, yet, but loves to be pushed around the mall and the park. Assembly was easy but time-consuming. Like other reviewers, I warn you to be careful when putting the wheels on the axle--the valve stems go on the inside! If you tap the whells on backwards you can't just pop them off again. The steering box for the handle (the adult pushes and turns the (removable) rear handle to steer through the crowds) feels weak and has LOTS of play, reducing adult control and mandating slower speeds and gentle turns. Will it last more than a month? Can it be tightened up? 'Dunno. In addition, the cutsey sunshade is completely worthless--get the Radio Flyer Steer and Stroll Deluxe Trike (same thing, but without the shade) and save yourself some bucks.

Great Product
Overall it is a great product. Thank you guys for the reviews.
Pro:
1) trike and parts are very sturdy.
2) seat is adjustable, useful as your kids grow bigger.
3) color is wonderful.
4) bi-pilot system feels great.
Con:
1) attentions are needed to assembly, e.g. you need to be VERY careful on installing tyres to their correct sides, because there is no remedy if you put wrong.
2) you need to have strong fingers to remove the pull handle.
3) the canopy is of no use.
4) need to mark your trike to separate from others who have the same trike. :D
Suggestions:
The best way to assembly is first to layout the parts on the ground to their relative location, and then assembly them. Enjoy!
