Kids of all ages need to practice proper bicycle safety by wearing appropriate protective gear. This bicycle safety value pack for kids features a black helmet that most kids will be happy to wear before heading off on their bikes and a bicycle cable lock. Parents will feel comfortable knowing that the helmet is lined with expanded polystyrene foam that provides the maximum impact absorption if kids have a fall. The liner is protected by a durable hard plastic outer shell in an aerodynamic design. Safety features include a built-in sun visor, twenty-five air circulation vents to prevent overheating, and thin customizable pads for creating a snug fit so the helmet grows with your child. Other features include EZ-DIAL Rear Retention which automatically makes the helmet bigger or smaller with ease and an adjustable chin strap. The lock is an oversized woven cable coated in durable plastic and includes a deluxe seat cover bracket, a re-settable combination and measures five feet in length. The right stuff for a safe ride this aerodynamically designed helmet is designed for older kids but complies with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's standards for kids five and older. ...

over priced
My son LOVES this garbage truck- however, it is not worth [$$$]. Garbage trucks are hard to find- but still not worth the money. I found one at [a local store] on clearance for [$$$] (just as good as this one)

Excellent toy
My 2 year old just loves it. The soft tires are good on hardwood floors as well. Looks well made too.

A great garbage truck for little "garbage collectors"
My almost-2-year-old daughter LOVES to watch the garbage trucks every week, so Grandma ordered this truck for her. It is so much fun. She can put a "driver" (we use our Little People ZooKeeper, since it does not come with a driver) in the front and can load and unload "garbage" (we use blocks and plastic food) to her hearts content. It rolls very nicely and has held up to her sitting on it like a riding toy.

I would highly recommend this for any toddlers who like trucks. It is cute, sturdy and fun. ... Read more

Fits all sizes 1.5-5 years
This review is written to explain how the adjustable frame works to the people who say their kids don't fit right on the trike. The frame of this trike is fully adjustable with a turn knob so that the distance from the seat to the pedals works for each individual child's size. Other trikes are on a one size fits all standard which doesn't work very long with the way kids grow! It's also great that you can adjust these for your child to grow with the Trike, because Kettler trikes are guaranteed to last as long as your child can ride it!! Read the instructions people!

great ride
What a great looking tricycle. My son is two and this is his second trike. We bought the Radio Flyer first and that was a big mistake. It was very dangerous the way the handle bar swung 360 degrees and it tilted over as a result. The kettler is very safe and stable. I also like that my son can use till he's five years old.

My 2-yr old daughter LOVES this!
We were concerned about getter her a trike because she is very small for her age. But, when we adjusted this trike to it's smallest size, she can sit all the way back AND reach the pedals! She's not quite strong enough to pedal on her own, but she keeps her feet on the pedals while I push her (with the optional push bar). She loves the dump-bucket on the back and carries many toys around in it. The optional push bar was difficult to install (because the dump-bucket is in the way) but was well worth the time. I can easily push her around the neighborhood. The trike itself was very easy to put together.

Great size flexibility plus stability with wider rear base
Our 18-month-old daughter loves this tricycle. Although, she is not quite sitting all the way back in the seat, adjusting the frame allowed her to have her feet comfortably on the pedals. After speaking with friends whose children outgrew their first tricycles in less than a year, this is a great choice because the seat and frame adjustments will allow our daughter to use it for at least a year. Plus, the bucket in back is super-handy when we go to the Farmer's Market or take toys along on the ride!

Gorgeous, but...
The grandparents bought this durable but expensive trike when our son was 2. Sure it rides and pushes smoothly, is sturdy and can tolerate the elements, BUT there's something drastically wrong with the sizing- especially the distance from the seat to the pedals. He has found it very hard to ride (or even be pushed in) until recently and he's nearly 4. A small child must be able to sit snugly back in the seat and easily reach and push the pedals or he will lose interest-- and confidence-- fast. A friend bought the same trike and concurred there was just something wrong about how her daughter fits on it, though she has no trouble riding the more compact tricycles at school with no assistance. Maybe the manufacturer's mistake is in recommending it for toddlers. ... Read more
