I bought this for my son (two year old) for Christmas and he loves it. We've never tried the balance mode (because one of the two hind wheels were a hassle %26 we told ourselves we wouldn't be doing that again). I love the sturdiness of the trike and the overall design. My only dislike is the part of the trike where the parents pushes-- I don't think my grip on the handle is THAT massive, considering it cruises great, but there now seems to be a permeant dent there.

I love this trike with handle! I researched tons of similar trikes, and this seemed to be the best one for my almost 3.5 y.o. grandson. He loves riding trikes but I always ended up having to bend over and push him most of the way, which is rough on this gramma's back! He loves peddling on this, and I can control the speed so it's a win-win. The push handle can also control the direction the bike goes, easily over-powering a toddler's direction. It was easy to put together, seems to be built very well, and I like that it can change to a balance bike as well. My grandson is fairly small for his age (33 lbs, 36" tall) .... and there's plenty of growing room for him with this bike.

We bought this bike for our grandson and were impressed by all the neat features on it. We took it out for a spin while we were on vacation. He loved it and it was easy to get in and out of the SUV. You can take off the parent handle bar so that it fits into the back of your car. Also loved that it converts into a balance bike as he gets older...plus an adjustable seat. The parent handle bar is easy to steer. All in all a great versatile bike to start your toddler out on..plus the color is awesome! one more thing...it is very easy to put together...just follow the directions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this for our 21 month old grandson. The quality is very impressive and it has features I was unaware of: there are balance pedals in addition to the push pedals, the actual pedals can be locked or unlocked so the child can pedal or just rest their feet on them. And unlike a push trike we had borrowed, this one steers from the long handle. An addition of a bell on the handle bars made for the perfect gift! We have not used the balance aspect yet as he is too small..

This thing is really well built. The pedals can engage the front wheel or disengage easily or be removed for balance bike mode. The foot pegs can be mounted in two different positions or folded up to stay out of the way. It’s is very easy and quick to switch from trike to bike with no tools. The adult handle is adjustable and tall enough for me (6’3”). It has a cup holder (not pictured) at the adult handle. I love that it can be converted to balance bike while still using the adult handle to help the kid gain confidence and maintain safety. Also not pictured is the wide seat comes off when you are done with trike mode to reveal a narrow seat for balance bike mode.

This was a gift for my grandson and he loves it! It was an easy assembly and has a few different functions for those ready to pedal and those who are almost there but still need guidance. The feet rests are unique and useful. The removable pedals are fantastic. I highly recommend this trike. I thought for the price point that it would be made of mostly plastic but it is very sturdy metal. The wheels are plastic but sturdy. This was a great purchase.

we have two grand daughters. this bike is the perfect answer to transition a youngster from push along to biking without assist. the push directional stick in the back is perfect for keeping control of your tot while they are attempting to control the action. we are very happy with the design and quality of this item. we are very happy we found this at sam's at a great price

This is great for pushing the two-year-old around the house in the tricycle mode. Have not used outdoors or in the bicycle mode. She can't reach the paddles yet and it is nice that we can leave the peddles off until she grows. Seem well built for the price I paid. It is a very nice design that the adult handlebar turns the front wheel. Easy to put together once we figured out how to twist the wheels from bicycle position to tricycle position. Had to watch a video on the internet to be able to do it. Thank you for making this product. It gets lots of use so may not last through all the growing bicycling stages. Only time will tell.

My 3 year-old daughter absolutely loves this! We mainly use it as the trike. That being said, my daughter is VERY tall for her age (she wears 5T). It’s way too big for my average-sized 2 year-old boy (his feet can’t reach the pedals). Overall great quality and no complaints, but probably better suited to bigger kids!

I am so glad to get this wonderfully designed toy for my grandson of 1.5 years old. He immediately falls in love with it. It is now used as a trike because he is too young to know how to keep balance, but I am sure he will know how to use it as a bike very soon. It can also be controlled by an adult easily. A perfect gift. I strongly recommend it.
