Editorial Review

This sturdy plastic car gives toddlers and young preschoolers the basic thrills of a real car, while parents can relax, knowing that this cherry-red sports car can go only as fast as their kids' little feet can carry them. Children sit on a bench-style driver's seat and poke their legs through to the ground. When they start walking, the car begins to scoot. The front wheels swirl like stroller wheels, making them especially responsive to the steering wheel. The front dash features a pretend key with a Little Tikes key chain and a horn button that beeps when pushed. A small storage bin in back can carry traveling gear or simply a stash of road snacks. Approximately 35 inches tall, 25 inches long, and 16 inches wide. --Gail Hudson ... Read more

Great gift for your little one
My daughter received this for her 1st birthday. Even though she was too little to make the car 'go', she spent hours opening/shutting the door and climbing in and out. Now at 19 months it's still the first thing she runs to when we go outside. She loves pushing it around the yard and going backwards by herself. She hasn't mastered the frontward motion yet, but she doesn't notice. Definitely worth the money.

This is 'THE' toy!!
My son got this car as a gift for his first birthday. It took him a few months to get into it. But, since he was about 14-15 months this is THE toy! He LOVES it, and all the kids fight over it when they visit! When the Wiggles are on and they sing the Big Red Car song, my 19 month old runs to his car, and gets his keys and pretends to drive! He loves when we "drive" him around the house. The only thing that would make this a better car is a seat belt. Not only is he fascinated with seat belts now, but it would have been safer when he was a bit younger.

Not Much Like A Real Car
I appreciate toys that my son can learn from, but I have concerns. First off, the safety features are horrible. Hard plastic. Perhaps an airbag might save a few bruises when my son slams into the recliner. There is also no brakes, making it impossible to stop. This is especially important when you live in the South as I do, where everything is on a slope. My son has often rolled down the driveway into the road. Many close calls with this one!

However, it's fun for him, it seems. There are no real world dangers involved with driving this around. Because younger children are colorblind, it doesn't matter what color it is, but I would appreciate, at least for my eyes' asthetic taste, that it would look sleeker, maybe a silver or black. Whenever I invite guests over, I have to put it out in the garage.

Other than that, it's a very good product!

Lil Tykes ROCKS again!
I am addicted to the lil tykes name. This is another hit in our home. It is sturdy and sun! My daughter got this for her 2nd birthday. She LOVES cars and was excited when she saw it.

It has been tumped over on its side and used as a stool, slid all over the house. It withstands EVERYTHING my daughter dishes out!
The extra compartment behind the seat is perfect for a sippy cup as well. But BEWARE only one child fits in this awsome Lil Tykes car!

car needs new front tires
great dizine but the front tires are eazy to bend and break. Devon got 3 months out of it before the car broke and we had to get rid of it ... Read more

This is the perfect set of wheels for the 3-year-old who wantsto trade up from plastic ride-ons, but isn't ready for the perils of areal bike. It features a sensible bucket seat with a grab handle on theback--but the standout feature is grippy, extra-wide tires. (The backones are over 3 inches wide, and their outer edges are more than 19inches apart.) The only concessions to fantasy are two pretend"shock-absorbers" on the front forks and a bolted-on plastic "speedometer" atthe front. --Richard Farr ... Read more

Great price for a great tricycle!
I read all of the other reviews before I purchased the Supertrike for my 3 year old son. It is sturdier than I expected. It looks good and my son loves it. An excellent choice for a first trike.

Excellent tricycle for a beginner
This is the second tricycle that I have bought so that my two nephews will no longer fight about who gets to ride. The construction is very sturdy and durable. The handle bars are strong and directly attached to the wheel making it unlikely to move unlike other tricycle handles which are just bolted on to the mainframe.
The bucket seat allows the child to push with their backs and legs to pedal with more ease than a regular up-down motion that many 2-3 year olds cannot do. The wider wheel base as well a wider frame at the back 2 wheels provide a stronger center of gravity making this tricycle less likely to tip over with sharp turns. As a medical professional who deals with the pediatric population, I would highly recommend this tricycle for all first timers.

Was all I hoped for and more
I drove to toysRus to see one and they did not have any. So I ordered it and it arrived on time. I took this to Russia for a friend's little girl. I was so happy it made it undamaged and passed through customs without a problem. It is well made and assembled easily. The little girl is 4 years old and about 40in tall and she fit fine with the seat not all the way back. I would say she could grow to 50in and still be able to ride. Because I had read a review that said an adult rode it. I climbed on and rode around. It did not seem to flex at all with 150lbs on it. I would not say thats a good idea, but I looked like the guy from Rowan and Martin's laugh in on it. Very nice trike...It is better designed with the high handle bars and the big plastic tires grip well and seemed very stable. If you are reading the reviews, which is what made me buy it...I would buy it, you will not be disapointed.

This is the "dream" trike for any toddler!!!
I purchased this trike for my 3 year old son. It is absolutely fabulous! Simply the best trike to buy. The wide wheels not only enable it to better grip whatever surface it's being ridden on, but they also ensure a more stable three-wheel vehicle. My little boy loved it from the get-go! I was originally looking for a more "big wheel" type of trike when I came accross this one. I would highly recommend anyone looking for that "first trike" for their little one to try this one. You won't be disappointed. On top of it all, the price is unbelievable. Enjoy the ride!

Great Trike - Don't Buy Stroller Bar
Excellent tricycle - don't buy the accessory stroller handle listed on the page with it as an accessory - IT DOES NOT FIT THIS MODEL. Anybody home at AMAZON? Write a disclaimer on the description for the stroller push bar - does not fit Supertrike III. ... Read more

Stand out in a crowd
My son just got this 2 days ago. I had to put it together before he could use it. It was not difficult at all. In no time, my son was riding his new vehicle. He thought that it was great. He is average to a bit small for his age (4 1/2 years old), but had no problem reaching the pedals. He loves the fact that he can drive it like his daddy drive's his car. My son is the only one in his neighborhood with a car like this and likes to show it off whenever he can. The car looks as if it is quite duable, and should last for many years to come.

Great toy
Our 3.5 year old son loves it. He was able to learn how to operate it within one day and likes riding it. There is no risk of it tipping over (as we had seen with his trike) and he enjoys the control he has riding the vehicle. We also love the fact that he has to use the pedals to ride it which gives him a chance to utilize the endless amount of energy he seems to have.

Would definately recommend it to another child. One point weakness though:
The front steering is not protected - he hig a concrete step causing the steering bar to pop out - no problem - it could be pushed back and he could continue to ride it without problems.

BEST PRESENT EVER!!!
We bought this for our son for Christmas when he was 6. He wanted one of those electric Jeep's. One major reason we decided to NOT go with the Jeep was that at the time we lived upstairs and had no where to keep it and no desire to haul it up and down stairs every day. The next best reason was that we knew he would outgrow it likely within a year. When we saw the Kettcars they looked so cool, light and affordable! Christmas morning he saw it and cared little about anything else! To this day, it is his favorite outside toy! He is 8 now and nearly ready for the next size up, so we will probably get him one this Christmas, which he really wants, especially since the larger models have actual rubber tires, and he likes to pretend he is a mechanic. I would highly recommend this! Another thing...when we go to the park, he is the center of attention, which makes him feel good and I am happy to say that he is wonderful about sharing turns with other kids.

This review is for kids from 13-16
Well what is there to say but this is the greatest toy ever created. We found this car in my friend (Degos) garage. As soon as we saw it we fell in love. First we just went down hills with it but that wasnt enough. We hooked it up to the back of my tractor and went over huge inclines with it. Then we rode it down a hill into my dog house. Let me say that was the high point of my ket carting. Then we were looking for new extents so we drove off the roof of my garage with it which resulted in a broken arm and a bruised rectum. Finally we took it down a steep off road hill and tried 2 land on a parking lot and ride down the hill on the parking lot. This was the end of the ket cart. We tried fixing it but nothing seemed to work. Now we are at school raising money for the ket cart releif fund which is doing pretty well all we need is 32 more dollars. Overall this is a great toy and is suitable for all ages.

A MUST HAVE
We bought this for our then 4 year old son 2 years ago for Christmas. He has loved every minute of it since then. He has an easy time peddling, steering, and stopping. We have adjusted the seat to accomodate his growth 2 times and have never had any complaints! I would highly reccomemend this toy in addition to ride-on toys you might already own. GREAT BOREDOM BUSTER! ... Read more

Great!!
My daughter is a little climber and this suits her wonderfully. It is not too imposing so she doesn't want to try and not to babyish for her not to want to play on it.

The rock wall, to me, is better than traditional steps. I don't have to worry that her foot would slip and she will fall, catching her leg in the slats.

I'm glad I purchased this instead of the traditional slide.

Climb and Slide
I was a bit skeptical to purchase this Climb and slide set after reading the reviews, but decided to give it a try. We got it for my daughters 1st birthday so I was a bit ify to whether or not she'd be able to master the climbing part. It took her a whole 2 days! She's barely walking and can climb it like a champ. She loves this. It didnt take long at all to put together either, however, when putting it together, part of the plastic decking cracked a little bit. I called the little tikes phone # and they sent me a new part in 2 days!!! Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this and would recommend it. It also helps that if something is wrong, the Little Tikes customer service is very friendly and will help you out.

Great Toy For The Little Climber !
This castle was bought for my son xmas 2003, when he was just 15 months. Since he was already doomed to be a climber this was in instant hit.

I disagree strongly with a lot of remarks re the toy not having steps but the juts as we found all the children who we have to visit, until they can master this stage then they are not steady enough to be climbing this toy without help from an adult - and no way should they be left alone until they can climb this themselves should they not have adult supervision.

Overal its a great toy inside .. but I found once we have placed this outside in the summer its suddenly not being used.

I have to point out the reason we did move this outside was my little monkey of a son found this was moveable and he was dragging it to shelves etc which normally would have being totally unreachable to him without the help from his caste !!!!!

Hours of fun!
My son is 21 months old and absolutely loves this toy. It keeps him occupied for long periods of time because there is so much to do. He especially loves sliding and "driving" with the steering wheel. When he gets bored with that, he likes to make his cars and trucks go down the slide. This is a great indoor/outdoor toy because it isn't too big and it's light enough for me to pick up by myself and move it. It was also very easy to assemble. Overall, a great toy. The rock wall isn't too hard for him to maneuver, but is much easier when he is barefoot. My only real complaint is that I didn't buy this any sooner. It would have been great to have it inside when it was so cold this winter.

Great indoor climber
After doing some research on a small climber, I decided on the Little Tikes Climb and Slide Castle and it's been a BIG hit in our house. I have a very petite 13 month old who has just begun to climb on things and she loves this toy. She mastered the rock wall immediately which was my main concern. My daughter is on the climber all day long. My son also loves the climber and he is almost 4 years old. Although he is a little big for the slide, he still enjoys it and is getting just as much activity and exercise as his sister. Assembly was super easy, I did it myself in less than 10 minutes with children clamoring for me to hurry! The size of the climber is perfect if you do not have a lot of room indoors. We live in a small condo and we have it in our great room. At night we push it off to the side and you hardly notice it's there. All in all a great investment and a very fun toy for your little ones. ... Read more

Excellent Swing
I know it is a little more expensive than other swings, but this is an excellent swing. It is very comfortable, and the rope means no pinches. It is comfortable for any size, anything from little kids, right up to above average adults. It seems durable, doesn't weaken or lose colour in the sun. It is very strong, and very thick. ...

Barbie Bed a great item!
I bought this for my five year old daughter, who is a Barbie enthusiast. She absolutely love it. It's a quality toy for the price: the mattress is durable, easy to inflate/deflate, and easy to roll up/store. The sleeping bag is made of warm, soft fabric that washes well. The whole thing rolls up and transports easily to slumber parties, grandma's house, and pretend camping trips. Considering the price and quality of toys overall (especially in the Barbie category), I consider this one of the better values. I also think it would make a great birthday gift. I wish this bed was made in motifs for boys - my three year old son gets a kick out of it too!

GREAT for sleepovers!
We live a few hours from family and when we visit, we always sleep on the floor in the living room. I bought 2 of these (one Scooby) for my 6 and 3 year old children because they always had trouble sleeping on the hard floor and we were up all night which left them quite cranky the following day. Since we got these beds, they sleep peacefully through the whole night, I no longer need to lug their pillows or extra blankets. They absolutely love them, which is important. I have caught them jumping like it's a trampoline, but they haven't sprung a leak yet!

The ONLY improvement I would like them to change is the valve. We have a small portable air pump that would make inflation a snap, but their valve doesn't fit any of the pumps out there and I even inquired about an adaptor but they don't offer one so you're left pumping by hand which is a pain.

THIS IS THE FUTURE OF SLEEPING BAGS!
THE BED IS GREAT, IT GOES ON TRIPS WITH US, AND GET THIS, I HAVE SLEPT ON IT. BY THE WAY, I AM 5'9, 158LBS.

SOME COMPLAINED THAT IS LEAKS, THE ONLY JUSTIFICATION FOR THAT IS, SOME KIDS USE IT AS A TRAMPOLINE!

I HAVE HAD MINE FOR ALMOST A YEAR, AND HAVE INSTRUCTED ALL KIDS WHO STAY OVER, DO NOT JUMP ON IT! IT IS STRICTLY FOR LAYING, OR SLEEPING.

I ALSO HAVE AN AEROBED THAT LEAKS, BECAUSE I CAUGHT THE KIDS JUMPING AND WRESTLING ON IT.

AGAIN, THIS IS A GREAT AND DURABLE PRODUCT, IF USED CORRECTLY.

Great Idea Very Bad Quality
My daughter loves it, but after only a few uses it leaked, located that leak and it lasted only a week, until the next leak. I am very disapointed, it should have lasted longer than a couple of months.

Great for Barbie enthusiasts!!!!
I bought this inflatable bed for my 3 year old and she LOVES it. It is very easy to inflate and it's perfect for sleeping over at grandma and grandpa's house. It is very comfortable and includes a soft blanket that she zips up into and an attached pillow as well. It's a must have when we travel and folds up into a pretty pink carrying bag all set to go!! I would recommend this product highly. ... Read more

I love these mats!
I bought 2 sets for my boy's (ages 5&3) room...I love them,I use them instead of a rug on their hard wood floor.I've not had a problem with slipping...they make a great safe play area for little rough and tumble boys! Great purchase!

WONDERFUL PRODUCT
I purchased 2 packs of these mats and placed them under my grandaughters LITTLE TYKES play structure and they are wonderful. She is just learning how to go down the slide and they have prevented her from scraping her little hands and knees. Great for outdoors. Just run a hose over them. I wish I could find more of this product in stock somewhere.

Cat scratch, but easy to clean
Our cat scratched one of the squares in our setup the first day they were laid out, and hasn't bothered them since.

The mats are great. They're very comfy, absorb falls and hits and crashing toys. They're easy to clean - just carry out whichever squares get spilled on or spit-up on or otherwise mucked up, and hose them off or rinse in the tub. There are no fibers to suck in dust and hair and cat dander, like a carpet would, and you don't have to clean the whole thing at once.

BUT you're going to want edge pieces. This set doesnt come with them. A competing product has edge pieces included but that are easily removed and chewed on; it's distinguishable because it's less expensive but with smaller squares (20" instead of 24") and a cheaper foam that may be less resistant to tear.

This set, although you have to buy the edge pieces separately, the edges are beveled, so that your kid won't trip on them and so that it's harder for him or her to pull them up and chew on them.

A great idea...
We bought one pack of these to put under our 2-year-old's slide in the (concrete) back yard. They're super durable and stay connected easily - they've been outside through heat and rain for a few months and don't show any signs of wear except where the cat attacked them (and even that's not bad). They're so great I ordered two more packs to cover a bigger area (he fell off last week and managed to miss the mat and hit the concrete...). Our friends have covered their whole playroom floor with these things. Perfect for active toddlers...as if there're any other kind... :)

Question
Are these mats slippery? if i put them on the carpet do they sort of stick in place. do they grip well? ... Read more

Love it!
I bought this for my daughter when she was 9 mos and she absolutely loved it. She is now 11 mos and loves to push as well as ride it. It's very easy for her to turn the "car" herself from its position since its not too heavy for her. She is not walking on her own as of yet but sure feels proud of herself when she pushes this across the room.

Outstanding value
I bought this for my son when he started walking at 7 months. After one day, he had it mastered and was walking all over the house with it. At ages 1 and 2, he rode it everywhere. He absolutely loved it. At age 3, he asked me to take it down from the rafters so he could ride it some more. I have since passed on the toy to a friend's baby who is also enjoying it. You definitely get your money's worth!

Great, sturdy ride on
We bought this for our daughter before she could walk, and immediately she loved it. It's low enough that she felt secure as we pushed her around the house. As she learned to walk, this ride on was a perfect helper. It's sturdy so it doesn't tip, and it's handle is positioned well for her to hold it without having to bend over awkwardly. Now that she's bigger (and walking) she loves this toy as a ride on, and she still likes to push it around.

Fun for even the very young!
My niece received this toy when she was only SIX MONTHS OLD. It was great for her first time parents, who were waiting for some real indication of a real person inside that baby body. They would put her on, tell her to hold the handlebars and to 'put her feet up'. She actually did it and understood them (I'm sure after being shown a time or 2). Then they would push her (carefully of course) and she would squeal with delight. It was great for them to know she actually understood them and could interact with them!

An awesome grow-with-me toy!
I purchased this for my son when he was about 10 months old. I thought it would help him get from one place to another. That is exactly what it did! He will be 2 in a couple of days and I must say that it is his favorite outside (and inside) toy. He pushes it, rides on it, and throws it off of the deck steps. It is like a timex....takes a licking and still is ticking. It's very durable. (...) ... Read more

Editorial Review

This combination tricycle/stroller offers an excellent solution for ambivalent preschoolers who want to pedal one moment and be pushed along the next. As with all Radio Flyer rides, the Voyager is built to last, with a durable steel frame and heavy-duty treaded tires. The trike’s unique feature is its steering and pedal lock that allows kids to either pedal or just sit back and let parents do all the work. For parents’ ease of use, the Voyager has a comfortable stroller-style push bar that adjusts to four different positions, and a snap-on snack tray that holds two drinks and a set of keys. A removable nylon backpack with a waterproof interior is attached to the stroller with velcro, and provides just enough space to carry diaper bag necessities. Kids will love the ringing bell and bucket on the back of trike. Parents will love the adjustable seat and safe turning radius that helps to prevents the trike from tipping. --Cristina Vaamonde ...

Great Idea - Bad Design
I saw this in the store and it was exactly what I was looking for in a trike for my son. Brought it home, assembled it, and within a week the steering mecanism broke - basically my son wanted to steer one way and my wife wanted to go in a another, battle ensued and the wheel went in one direction and the handlebar went in another. Keep in mind a 2 1/2 year old stuggled and won against his mother. Tore it apart and found that a cheap plastic ring around on the frame connected it with the cables and the plastic ring got stripped in the tug-o-war. Only way to fix is to replace frame!! Manufacturer offered no assistance - a total loss for the purpose it was purchased for.

Not what we expected!
We bought this for our son when he was 18 months old! The Stroller option lasted all but 3 months and snapped! We are not even able to get any replacement or a way to fix it! To use as a trike it is not all that convenient either! The wheel has some kind of system that will let the pedals go freely and when my son tries to pedal backwards, nothing will happen. It is not easy to explain to a 2 and a half year old that if we wants to back up he needs to get off the bike and turn the bike around! I would not recommend it, it is expensive and does not hold what it seems to promise!

We like our trike
We bought this trike for my daughter for x-mas. She has been on it several times in our neighborhood and the local park. We haven't had the cable snap nor had any problems in steering it. My daughter is slowly getting the idea of pedaling but still needs help when steering. I would definitely recommend this trike to a parent with a toddler learning to ride.

Fun while it lasted (which wasn't long at all)
Really wish I could say we loved this tricycle. It has great features with the attached backpack, cupholder, and advertised steering capability; unfortunately, the steering cable snapped after only a few rides and now it's useless. Could we get a fix for the cable? Maybe. But, since we don't feel like 'fixing' an expensive trike every 6th ride, we returned it instead. We tried to save money by buying this instead of a Kettler. Instead we've learned an expensive lesson (which is: there's a reason the Kettler steering mechanism controls the back wheels, rather than a cable system which attempts to steer the front wheel). Bummer, since it had such potential to be so cool (and was a piece of junk instead).

Outstanding toy at a fair price
The wife and I purchased this trike for our 21 month old son and he adores it. The only problem I had is that the steering cable that controls the adult steering handle broke, rendering it uncapable of turning by the supervising adult. But to Radio Flyer's credit I called their customer service and told them what happened, they told me they were aware of the problem and proceeded to tell me that the issue with the cable has been re-engineered to avoid this from happening any further. They then told me they were sending out a replacement part free of charge, they shipped it first class and in less then a week I had the new part along with easy to follow instructions on how to replace it. Now the steering feels structually sound. Although the trike did break I was extremely pleased to see a company stand behind their product and offer replacements free of charge. Way to go Radio Flyer, now if I can only get our son to play with the other toys in the house I will feel like it was all money well spent.. ... Read more

Fun for twins, but there is one problem...
My 11 month old twins have enjoyed their swing together since they were about 7 months old. They do grab at each other's hats and hair, but if I give them each something to hold, it solves that problem. My neighbor tried to put her almost two year old in the swing and the seat belt would not fit around her waist. This will only work for this season, I guess...

Just make drain holes and there's no problem
As a mommy of many kids an owner of a daycare, I need as much help as I can get. This works great! I can have two of the triplets in one, and my youngest and another one of the triplets in the other! There is a problem with draining, but all you have to do is drill drain holes in it (I know its hard to drill in such a nice swing, but its a necessity) and you're set.

About the straps- I ended up getting creative and making straps for the seats.

Close range!!
I have this swing in my yard. My 14 month old son and 10 month old nephew use it together. This swing will not get much more use after this, since it is VERY short and the kids are leg to leg (kicking eachother and whatnot). They can reach one another and they pull the hair out of one anothers head, LOL! Another thing I did not like was the straps. They are around the legs not the waist, therefore, my 14 month old son arches his back and can actually stand up wearing the straps. DANGEROUS! It is a cute design but needs improvement.

not ment for long legged kids
The old style of this product is SO much nicer!!!! This one has a floor in and if the kids are long legged they do not fit! (unless they want to have their chin to their knees.) It is also a very short lived product because of this aswell. Please bring back the old style ..... it is so much better but only older daycare providers have them.... and they don't want to give them up, as they know what a great thing they have. I would not suggest this to anyone; short life product for the money.

Very Nice Twin Swing
I have a set of 9 month old twin boys who absolutely love this swing. They sit facing each other and have a blast "talking" to one another. It's nice for a mom of twins and another child to be able to push all three kids at one time. (The boys in the caterpillar and my daughter in her own swing.) I would definately recommend this toy to any parent who has more than one small child. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Basically a re-tooled Big-Wheel, the Scream Machine has flash, speed, and maneuverability, but with the control and stability younger kids need. It has two fat, plastic rear wheels for maximum skid. The front, though, features a large traction tire that must be inflated. The tire is rubber because of the Scream Machine’s V-type brakes, which are operated from BMX-style, gripped handle bars. These brakes makes it much safer--especially on downhill runs--than bikes with the foot brakes. Leg room is adjusted by slidingthe bucket seat forward or back. The shiny frame, with shocks, is made of high-tensile steel that won’t rust or wear out after the first year. It has to be completely assembled by adults, however. To that end, a detailed instruction book and tools, including a wrench and Allen screwdriver, are included. --Diane Beall ... Read more

Replacement Parts
We are having a great deal of trouble with Razor. They have an affiliate company who handles shipping and company questions. My son's replacement rear tires are on back order, with no indication on when delivery will take place. I think I'm about ready to take him to Toys R Us to get a "Green Machine", since this company doesn't seem to be bothered with keeping 6 year old children hostage to their apparant problem with inventory.

A hit in the neighborhood!
Not since the Little Tikes Rocket (which from what I can tell they no loner make- a shame!)has there been a toy that has gripped all of our neighborhood kids. We live on a dead end cul-de-sac that has a slight incline that is perfect to get some speed for this kind of toy and everyone is loving it. I bought this for my 8 & 10 year old boys to give them something to do besides sit in front of Gamecube all spring break. Our neighborhood has had a lot of fancy and expensive "ride on" type toys - some electric. I feel kids have enough sit-on-your-butt-and-do-nothing toys and activities so I have refused (much to their dismay) to but electric ride-ons. However, as I said earlier, when they were younger they had a blue jet made by Little Tikes that had similar features as this kind of ride-on that they out grew a few years ago. The idea of this toy reminded me of that jet so that is why I bought it. I thought it would be a hit with my boys and it was. It is the toy everyone in the neighborhood waits in line to use!

Fun, fun, fun
Santa brought this one and we had to adjust the seat up to the closest position for a normal 6 year old. It took him 2 days to figure out how to spin it but then what fun. He doesn't use the brake though. Easy to put together. Tubeless tire so it was a little difficult to inflate. Lots of play value left in this one for years to come.

need to readjust age range
We purchased the razor scream machine for christmas. We adjusted the seat to the closest hole and my 5 year old son still can't reach. He is the same size as most of the other children in his age group. I know he'd love it if he could reach. So I have been trying to locate the scream machine jr.. He just turned 5, so maybe in a few months he'll beable to reach. We were all disappointed he couldn't ride it.

Pinches Fingers
We bought this toy for our 5 year old son. He is very tall so the seat is perfect at the furthest setting. The 2 problems that we have had are 1) the back wheels are already torn up after only riding around the block on sidewalks twice and 2) He has already twice turned around to tell me something and ran over his hand with the back wheel which left pretty big cuts on his fingers. He loves riding this but it is one problem that deserves mention. ... Read more

This pink and purple girl's trike is equipped with everything a beginning rider would want or anticipate from Radio Flyer. Besides being for first-time riders--excitement enough--it comes with a list of confidence-inspiring features, besides having three large, sturdy wheels on a lightweight metal frame to prevent toppling. There's also a large bucket seat for maximum comfort; easy to reach pedals with foot brakes; easy-grip handle bars with wind-lovin' tassels; a rear-end basket for all kinds of toddler "stuff; and a kitschy finger bell kids will love to ring as they turn blind corners in the house. New riders will take pride in every pedal with a trike so well-equipped. --Diane Beall ... Read more

A real hit!
My three year old sports nut just got this for his birthday. We have not had any problems, and he loves it. I can see his hitting improving already.

Skip this toy
My husband and I purchased this toy for our 5 year for christmas. We have an unfinished basement so we let him play this downstairs. (It's too cold to play outside now.) The toy is fun when it actually works. Many times the balls get stuck. It's very frustrating constantly trying to get them to actually pop out. When they do sometimes they are too low to hit. We haven't yet tried to play t-ball with it. It's fairly light so it's possible it may tip over many times. I find that the pieces are pretty durable. My son does continue to play it but he often stops cause it gets frustrating. He sometimes just plays with the balls and bat so it wasn't a total loss.

I believe it will help any T-ball or Little League player to improve upon His/Her hitting! ... Read more

When the sun beats down over the long haul, this jaunty, adjustable red polyester umbrellatransforms a little red wagon into a shady Conestoga. And it will serve you well should you be surprised byrain showers on your journey. You could also clamp it on a lawn chair, a cooler handle, a park railing, or abackpack strap. The neoprene-padded jaws of the sturdy plastic, 6.5-inch spring clamp move smoothly on180-degree hinges, so the umbrella gets a flat, slip-proof grip on objects that are from an eighth of an inchto 2 inches thick--even on wet wood or slick metal. Made especially to sit pretty on a classic Radio Flyerwagon, the versatile, heavy-duty clamp also accommodates non-planar surfaces, such as a wide-lippedwall. Unfasten the Velcro closure and slide open a taut 26.5-inch diameter circle of shade made of chunky,top-quality materials. A 4-inch-long, .375-inch-diameter metal-spiraled neck above the clamp allows you toadjust the shade to any angle in any direction. This beauty is made to last as long as a Radio Flyer wagon!The umbrella is 30.75 inches long, and comes with instructions. Ava Natov ... Read more

Didn't hold up....
I bought two of these umbrellas for the ATW wagon. They both broke at the plastic clip area after one time of using them. The clip is made of plastic and wasn't very durable for the wagon. It would make a better stroller umbrella.

Great Concept but Not Durable
The umbrella is a great idea and works well with the radio flyer wagon. The problem is ours broke after limited use. The umbrella did not bend easily in the coil area. We found that when people adjusted the umbrella they always bent it where the button is to put the umbrella up and down. In the end that is where the umbrella snapped in two. So just take your time when trying to bend the umbrella to block the sun!

A Taper's Delight
This little baby is perfect for concert tapers looking for an easy way to attach an umbrella to their stand. Forget about Duct and Gaffer's tape. Just clamp, and you're ready to record in the rain.

+T to all....

Don't buy for a plastic wagon
The clamp on this broke the FIRST time I attempted to put it on my Discovery
wagon. I assume the spring and clamp are not meant to open that wide.
It is a strong clamp & should be suited to a metal or wooden sided wagon.

Useful but very fragile!
I bought three of these umbrellas. 2 for my youngest daughters wagon because you need 2 to cover the whole wagon. Plus one for my oldest daughters wheelchair. They really are wonderful to have if you remember not to just grab and bend them from anywhere. My husband has snapped all three of them in half because he forgets that he has to be gentle. I have recently ordered another one just because it's impossible to find a clip on umbrella for a wheelchair for when it's raining. BUT... I will not be buying more for the wagon. Too much money to spend for something that breaks so quickly to only be used for shading sun! (...) ... Read more
