The F.A.Q. for 4-in-1 Stroll 'n Trike (Radio Flyer)

We really like this bike! its cute, its sturdy and its semi-easy to assemble. We did struggle with one part though . Fixing the back wheel! my daughter hopped on immediately and even tried to help us assemble it (shes 1. 5 yrs). Ill update my review as we continue to use it but so far its a winner. Some. . So we've had this for a bit now and i wanted to update my review. We still love it and we take it for a ride every weekend for an hour around the house, or the park. My daughter even likes practicing hopping on and off of it on her own. I dont have any issues with it so far but i have a few comments that, for the undecided parent i hope might help. . 1- it does rattle a little when on the move. Partly because of the wheels and partly because of the storage box. 2-i was expecting the wheels to wear out but so far they havent. I do however wish they were slightly bigger. They tend to stick in ditches and stuch. 3-had i known there was a foldable version, i probably would have considered that. I usually like to purchase compact toys, but it fits in the car just fine (we drive a camry) along side the stroller (quinny zap). 4-a mother had commented on her sons feet dragging from the bike. While we didnt have that problem at first we did start having it but i ve noticed that that usually happens when my daughter isnt seated properly and honestly nth a 'placing her foot on the pedal' didnt fix. . But again highly recommend, we love it , she loves it, and everyone keeps commenting on her 'cool ride'. I totally see it being used for awhile.

A number of questions have been asked here.

Q&A

(0) Question: Does this trike make loud noise going over sidewalks because of the plastic wheels? trying to avoid the loud noise that her step 2 car makes.

(1) Question: Does it have foot rest for young babies or feet just hang in the air as seen in one of the product pictures.

(2) Question: Our bike makes "ticking" sound when i move it forward with push bar and pedals are locked - is it normal? or we assembled it wrong? :-)

(3) Question: Do the handle bars unlock so that the child can turn them without steering?

(4) Question: Could a toddler operate the trike "flinstone" style, i. e. , with feet on the ground instead of on the foot pedals?

(5) Question: I thought i was ordering the 4-1 stand and ride trike, is there an accessory stand that can be put on the 4-1 trike version that replaces the basket

(6) Question: Can i add a basket, luxe seat pad and headrest?

(7) Question: Can a second child stand on the back?

(note) Question: where/how to get Radio Flyer (manufacturer's brand) accessories & similiar Radio Flyer's products

Best 4-in-1 stroll 'n trike (radio flyer) in review

I bought this for my daughter's second birthday a month ago and we absolutely love it. I read all the reviews before i purchased it and considered the clicking noise, wheels not being rubber, etc and so glad i went ahead and ordered it. I actually like the clicking noise it makes when her feet are on the pedals because i know when she is dragging them when it stops! i am 5'10 and the handle bars are a perfect height. She loves it and it is so fitting for her. My four year old loves that she can push her little sister since it is adjusts to her height. We get compliments on it where ever we go, every one loves it! it was easy to assemble as well. Very pleased with this purchase!

This trike is great! i wish that the sun shade was better but that's the only downfall. Easy to steer, and my 1 year old daughter loves it. Throw some cheerios in the cup holder and she's happy to hang outside for ever.

I was looking into buying this trike for my son for months but was unwilling to pull the trigger on it for $100. But i finally saw it on online store for $65 and felt it was a deal. I am fairly happy with the trike, i mean it is mostly plastic like other reviews have stated but for the price i got it for i am pleased. . Putting it together took about 30 mins. My son loves it and it's nice having something different for him for when i talk him out other than the stroller. I like that he can use it for years to come. A good buy for $65 or so, not for the $100 it retails for.

So i wanted to buy my daughter a trike that i can push until she reaches the peddles and also adjusts to her size. I really needed this to be a sturdy, easy to maneuver, and durable trike for long periods of use since we do plenty of walking. I did a lot of research! too much some might think :)) i asked people around the neighborhood if they liked theirs, read reviews on online store, as well as other sites, read all the instructions and descriptions, watched videos; i mean, i really did my homework! . . First, i want to share what i liked and didn't like. . Pros:. -durable and reliable - i haven't yet had to rescrew the bolts and we use it a lot! . -many options to make a child any age comfortable. -easy to steer and very safe, basically feels like pushing a stroller. Can be easily pushed off the sidewalk without picking it up. -sunshade is really useful and can be folded for sunbathing. -great value, so many options for such a great price. . Cons:. -squeaks after first walk, needs to be oiled once in a while. -i needed a lot of time to put the bike together; also the tools they tell you to use are not sufficient to screw everything tightly. But all this is worth it to make it feel very safe. . Finally, the reasons why i chose to buy this instead of all the other trikes offered on online store:. . 1. The handle is strong, made out of steel, and doesn't break off. I've read in some reviews that some trikes have handles that come off and feel cheap because of the plastic materials they are made from. This trike is not like that. It feels very reliable. 2. The wheels are rubber, not plastic like on most of the other trikes. I feel like they will last a long time. 3. It has a hatchback, meaning there is a compartment on the back that can hold keys, phones, toys, and rocks that your child might collect on your walk. We put flowers there sometimes :). 4. This trike has a little tray that my daughter uses for a drinking cup. Very comfortable if you are going for a long walk. None of the other trikes had this tray. 5. And lastly, the seat moves, the harness can be taken off, the pedals can be adjusted to stay still while you push the bike. Basically many things that other trikes didn't have. . I'm so glad i didn't purchase little tikes or italtrike because from what i hear and read i would've been very disappointed.

This trike is awesome! i should have bought it earlier! my two-year-old loves riding to the park in this. She sometimes tries to peddle but she's still a little short so mostly rests her feet on them. The handle for parents is great, so much better than just the push handles that are impossible to steer. We also get a lot of use out of the back compartment. I use it to put a snack in for her and she likes to collect treasures at the park and fill it up. We also bought a bell and streamers for it from online store.

It is a great trike, but a bit large for my 2 year old grandson. The span from the seat to the pedals is rather long. However, he does like it and currently pushes it around with his feet. I think in a few more months both of his feet will reach the pedals.

S. Perez, Plymouth

Bought it for grandson's one year old birthday. He could reach the peddles at that time. Now at two years old, he can reach them, but unable to peddle. Maybe works with three year olds.

This was purchased as a present for my son's first birthday. He loves it! . . At first i was hesitant to purchase the trike as many of the reviews mentioned an annoying clicking sound when the trike was in motion, stating the noise was "unbearable". I do not agree. The clicking sound only occurs when the peddles are stationary such as when the child's feet are resting on the peddles and the adult is pushing. While, the sound is present, it is not as bad as stated. . Thus far my only complaints are the tires, it would preferable if they were rubber rather than hard plastic. Both driver and rider experience every bump and crack so the ride is not as smooth as possible. Secondly, it would be nice if there was some sort of handle on the back of the seat. It is difficult to juggle child and trike while trying to get out the door. . Overall i am very happy that i purchased this trike. I am looking forward to watching my son grow and learn how to ride with it.

This is a great little trike. It took me about an hour to put it all together, and the instructions were pretty easy. There is a little nub you have to hammer onto one of the wheels and two are included in case you break the first one since that is probably the only opportunity you have to crack plastic since you have to whack the nub pretty hard with a hammer. I love how the seat has 3 adjustment points, the pedals can be set to be stationary or to turn with the front tire (i. E. You have the option of allowing the child to pedal the bike), and the safety ring (with cup holder) is great for our 2 year old since he is still a little wobbly. There is a strap so you can tie your kid in, though our guy is really too big for it. The hood is pretty low quality and attaches with plastic clips. We found that it really only works for kids 2 years old simply due to the kid's height being an issue when older. The hood is also part red and part pink, even though the picture shows it as being all red (didn't really matter to us but it might bother some). Before our little guy turns 3 i'm sure we'll be turning this into a tricycle for him.

Love this tricycle. We even take it places like a stroller because our 15 month old really likes to "drive" it around. We receive lots of compliments and questions about where we got it when we are out and about. It's nice because the adult handles override the child steering. I was surprised that right away he figured out the cup holder and loves to put his sippy cup in there. He also loves opening, closing and putting objects in the back trunk compartment. My only criticisms are that it takes a little while to put together (20 to 30 minutes) and also the adult handle bar could be a couple inches longer. My husband is 6'2" and it's not a very comfortable height for him to push.

Perfect for my toddler! her feet drag a bit right now, but in the next few months, i'm sure she'll get the hang of the pedals. I love the versatility of this item!

B. Rhonda, Reading says

My daughter loves this trike, wants to go for a ride everyday. I love that the handles are tall and i don't have to hunch over to push her (i'm 5'11"). I also love that this bike will grow with her so it was an investment and not a purchase that i will have to make again until she is ready for a 2 wheeler.

My twin boys received these trikes for their first birthday and they love them! we enjoy going for walks around the neighborhood and it's nice to be able to push them in these trikes instead of a stroller. We have walked on gravel, grass, dirt and it still pushes easily. I love how versatile this trike is! if it's not sunny out, we can just pop the shades off, making it easier for us to see our boys. The wrap around bar is great at keeping them in, giving them something to hold on to besides the handle bars and is a nice spot for a few snacks! . . My husband is just over 6' tall and he kept hitting the little covered bin in the back, so to fix that, he ended up taking it off. While it looks a little different, he found that this gave him enough space that he doesn't hit the trike anymore when he walks. When the boys don't need us to push them anymore, we'll just pop that bin back on! we often walk with these to a park a few blocks away and i like to take a few things with us, like diapers, wipes, snacks and sippy cups. All of this does not fit in the tiny covered bin, so i found that i can use my stroller bag to hang on the handles. This gives me the storage that i need and i don't hit it while i'm walking, which is nice! we always get so many compliments on these trikes! i'm so glad that we can get so much use out of these now and as they grow!
