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

Great fun for young toddler. Wish it were a little more steady and sturdy. Good for short walks. Visor doesn't totally protect head, so a hat or other means of sun protection is necessary. Can't wait until we can try out the pedals!

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?

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

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.

Pros:. * secure seat & straps so my daughter can be a "big kid" just like her siblings. Having both the seat and the straps gives a lot of flexibility. As your kid gets older you can use just the plastic seat and not bother strapping them in. * easy to push one-handed. . Cons:. * the shade is pretty useless. My 15-month-old in a helmet (which everyone should use! ) is too tall for it. * no foot rest for kids too short for the pedals. A truly bizarre omission. * the child's cupholder is too small for my daughter's cups. I don't mind since we don't use it for long walks but it would have been so easy for them to put in a more generously sized one. * no cupholder for the adult. . I fixed the last point with this aftermarket cup holder: . It was a little challenging to get on because the handle has thick foam and the clamp doesn't open fully but i was able to compress the foam to slide it on. It clamps on securely and holds my insulated ceramic (handle-less) coffee mug perfectly. Be smart: don't put a full cup of hot coffee in it. I often need a place to sit an empty cup or my cell phone and this works great. A water bottle would be no problem.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

We bought this bike for our kid's 2nd birthday. She loved it so much, that she would not get off of it for hours the first day. I had to feed her lunch while she was still sitting on it that day :) at least i was able to convince her to let the bike go for her nap time :). I liked it too, rather light, pretty, comfortable handles, easy to steer and control. We assembled it with everything included except for the safety belts. Even the canopy still works for her, and she is a tall girl. For the first time i was able to take her to the nearby park without driving. We have also taken it to the mall, and it worked much better than a stroller for us, mainly because she loves staying in it. We've had it for about two weeks now, and it still a hit. Best birthday present ever!

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.

Y. Nielsen, Enfield says

We purchased this for my daughter's first birthday. She was (and still is) a little big for her age and wasn't able to reach the pedals at one. She found other places to put her feet, though. . I love that it has a removable cage around it to keep tiny ones who don't always have the best balance from tipping out, and keeps their sippy-cup nearby in case they want a drink. The little compartment in the back seems handy, but you really can't fit much of anything in it. We used to put a diaper and small pack of wipes for trips to the park, and i'm sure our little one will be able to keep little toys in there when she starts exploring on her own, but it's just not as handy as i expected. . Now that she is older, we're trying to use it (with the cage removed) to teach her to pedal. It allows me to maintain control if need be, while also letting her pedal independently when she wants to.

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.
