Schwinn Roadster Kid"s Trike

Not ordering online very often I was very happy with the ease and speed of receiving the product. I did have a problem with the item and didn't know how to go about solving it so I'm taking this opportunity.

My husband put the trike together and it was awesome! We gave the gift to our Grandson the next day and within 30 minutes the front tire was flat. It never made it outside so it was only ridden on carpet and tile. To this day it still hasn't made it outside - he won't part with it. We have repaired the tire twice in two different spots and it continues to go flat. My husband did make a comment on how old the tires seemed to look but that just wasn't even in our minds that they could be old or defective. The size of the tire is 12.5 x 2 1/4. We need to buy a new one and if you could help us out that would be great.

Other than that the product was a smash. Just ask Chase!

Thank you,

After some research, we purchased this pink tricycle for our 20 month old. Great bike overall that 2 year olds can grow into. A tad on the pricey side but well worth the $. Here's the highlights:

Pros:
-Old school but super sleek look. Received compliments practically every time she rode it around the neighborhood.
-Designed low to the ground w/ wide wheel base which give trike unbelievable stability. There were numerous times my daughter was going probably faster that she should have and then swerved to one side. The trike never tipped over. Others trikes will tip easily.
-Handle bars slanted down toward the rider (think of custom chopper bike) making it comfortable and easy for your child control.
-Solid seat with high seat back make it very comfortable for the rider.
-If your child pedals hard enough, this trike can cruise up to a high speed. You just need to be careful you're in a safe place to do this.

Cons:
-She was a little short for the lowest seat setting as her feet barely touched the pedals. But once she could comfortably reach, she was on her way.
-First trike had a flat tire that didn't hold air and had to return.
-Bell on the handle bar didn't last very long.

This is solid looking bike with a great retro look. The bike has a very nice and my son enjoys a lot riding his trike. The assembly was a snap too. The bell on the handle is cheaply built though. Little bit of hard pressure on it and it came off. Otherwise just great.

We gave this trike to our youngest daughter this past July for her 3rd birthday. We cannot praise this trike enough.
Assembly was a snap for my husband. It was a process that took under 20 minutes.
The overall look of the trike is very retro. The only thing I would change about the trike it the wooden step on the back. Sadly, it can only support 5lbs of weight, or so it says in the owners manual. Back in the day, trikes like this could be used as scooters by standing on the rear step or you could tote along a friend on the back. So the bottom line with my only gripe about this trike is that the rear step is decorative.
We purchased the pink version of this trike. The color is very bubble gum pink and it oozes girly appeal.
My [...] is simply delighted with this trike. It does not tip over at all which was a problem we had encountered with our old trike. She loves the bell that's attached to the handlebars and delights in ringing it as the pedals up and down the street.
The trike is heavy so it can be a little difficult to ride it up hill. The seat is easy to adjust and my picky princess says its very comfortable.
If you are looking for a great trike that will gather some oohs and ahhs along the way then look no further.

My 17 month old enjoys sitting on it and is starting to get the hang of the pedals. He can scoot it along with his feet on the floor. However, I think for kids under 33" tall it is way too big. I think the box said from heights starting at 26". Even with the seat all the way forward and pedal blocks added to the pedals (sold separately) his feet barely reach the pedals.
