Your child will enjoy a classy ride with the red Roadster, Schwinn's retro-modern take on the classic tricycle. It features a full-steel, heavy-duty frame, scalloped chrome fenders for flare, and a real wood back deck for an added passenger. It has wide design for an extra-low center gravity, helping to prevent tip overs. The sculpted seat is adjustable for growing riders. The cool "moustache-style" chrom handlebar features padded grips, long tassels, and a bell. The front wheel measures 12 inches in diameter and the back wheels measure 8 inches in diameter.

Can't give this enough praise!5
This is honestly the perfect trike. My parents bought this for my daughter for her 2nd birthday and we couldn't be more pleased with it. It's sturdy, has the ability to be adjusted for greater longevity and is gorgeous. Its retro-looking (like the old, rounded bikes Schwinn once made) with a sleek design and curvy shape. We got the pink model for my daughter and though I'm not a fan of pink in general, its gorgeous. It makes me think of a mini-pink-lady when she's on it, like I need to get her a pink leather jacket and some motorcycle boots.

Its extremely safe. We tried so many models in different stores and none come close to this one. The back wheels are wide set with large wheels for great stability. All wheels are bycycle-type instead of hard plastic. My daughter can STAND in the seat and turn the wheel (no, we didn't advocate this when she did it) and it won't tip over!

My last kudos is that it was very easy to put together. My husband was away when we got it and I had no problem putting it together (despite lack of experience on my part). A few nuts and bolts here with clear instructions and no problem!

Worth the price and will probably last forever! Go Schwinn!

Stable and good looking, just a little heavy.5
We have the red and the blue for our two two-year olds. One is big for his age and can reach the pedals and the other can just push from the ground.

This is a great trike because it is very stable since it is low to the ground and the rear wheels are far apart. This already came in handy when one son took a turn going down a very slight hill. He stayed upright when I am sure another trike would have tipped. Being low to the ground also makes it easier to push with one's feet (this helps my smaller son).

The trike's stability also helps with mounting and dismounting. We looked at a Radio Flyer trike and found it was easy for a kids foot to get caught on the seat or the tube dismounting the trike, causing a fall. No problem with this trike, getting on and off is very easy.

We also like the pneumatic tires and the retro look. We get lots of compliments from the neighbors. Our friends have the expensive trikes (Kettler?) and we certainly prefer the Schwinn over those which seem to be cheap plastic and are so loud because of the plastic wheels. The push bar and one pedal on their Kettlers broke, indicating to me that they aren't that durable.

The only bad size is that it is heavy. This hasn't come into play, both kids can push the trike around with their feet, even up a slight hill.

Good luck finding a replacement inner tube1
This is a quality trike that looks great...there is no doubt about that.

HOWEVER, wait until you get a flat tire. Aside from a backorder that has literally going on for three months, we cannot find the appropriate sized 12" inner tube anywhere. Online, in town, across town, two hours away...this inner tube is not available except from Schwinn and according to their sales representative "they are always on backorder".

This bike has been sitting and my son is not a happy camper. It doesn't matter what a great bike it is if he can't ride it. I would seriously consider purchasing another trike unless you can purchase replacement inner tubes right then and there.
