Radio Flyer Classic Wagon - Radio Flyer Twist Trike

Radio Flyer Twist Trike





Radio Flyer Twist Trike


This durable riding toy grows with your child and will keep him wheelin' for years. The Twist Trike is a two-in-one toy that twists from a trike to a chopper in a few easy seconds. Kids can pedal around on the trike for the recommended age range of two to four years old. When they grow out of it, parents can use the patented quick-release twist 'n lock mechanism to transform the trike into a chopper. Designed for ages four to seven, the chopper sits lower on the ground with a single tire in front and two in back. When in chopper mode, the seat adjusts, so it grows with your child. Both styles feature a durable molded construction and a controlled turning radius for stability. The body measures 31.5" x 23" x 34". Holds up to 65 pounds.




Customer Review: Not the best choice for toddlers. Ages 4+




My son received this bike for his second birthday from my inlaws. He is taller than most 3 year olds and is off the chart for height for his age because he is so tall. The claims are this bike can be used for ages 2 and up, simply not true. It should be ages 4 and up. His feet barely (only his tip toes) reach the petals on the trike which is NOT adjustable (only the chopper setting is). I am very disappointed as he was so excited to have his first bike and he cannot ride it. The quality seems OK. For the price I would recommend a different bike because I really don't see this bike lasting 5 years. The stickers are already loose and it is brand new. The tires are the cheap hard plastic which I hate on any wheeled product since it cracks and doesn't last. I expect better from Radio Flyer.




Customer Review: radio flyer twist




We bought 2 of them. I have a 2 year old and a 3 year old and they have been having a blast with them. They are just about hitting the pedals but by the Spring, I'm sure they'll be fine. We leave it in the tricycle postion for my 2 year old and the big wheel for my 3 year old. I like the option of them having the same toy or different. It's like 2 for 1. I have a feeling we'll get lots of use of them. It was very easy for my husband to assemble, about 15 minutes to do both of them.
