Sports reviews of Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red)
Customer Review: REVISED REVIEW: Don't buy! Not Schwinn quality
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I ordered the red Schwinn retro-roadster trike for my son's 2nd birthday in spring 2009. We were disappointed to unbox it see a scuff in the paint all the way down to the metal on the underside of the frame under the seat -- probably happened during shipping from CHINA. Initially, we didn't think the overall quality was that bad, although I could tell it wasn't like the really nice Schwinn I had as a child. However, in the ensuing year, even with keeping the trike inside the house, the varnish on the wooden deck on the back is flaking off. It was virtually impossible to get the steering column/handle bar joint really tight, and now the cheap plastic collar will keep almost no tension on the joint between the handlebar post and the frame -- my son gets really frustrated when he can't steer it b/c the handlebars are very crooked, and I have to stop and align it every few minutes. I personally would rather have paid more and gotten a real metal cuff that would hold more tension on the joint. Your house will also suffer many dinked door frames and wall corners because there is a nut on the rear wheel axle that sticks out and demolishes right down to the base paint. Also, my son really hasn't ridden this trike that much, as he got a bicycle w/ training wheels that Christmas, so it's not like it's worn out at all. In fact, we periodically have tried to hide the trike in the garage and eventually hope to "disappear it." Overall, after owning this trike for over a year, I would NOT recommend it, as it is frustrating for both kids and parents! With the steering-wheel defect, it's virtually unrideable and a waste of your hard-earned $!
