Sports reviews of Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Red)
Customer Review: Good tricycle.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is a very good tricycle. Easy Assembly! When I say easy, I was actually disappointed I didn't get to assemble much of it! This tricycle is very sturdy and is difficult to tip when the child is seated. All tricycles suffer from tipping but this seems to be the sturdiest. I believe the product said it was meant for ages 2 1/5 on up, which it is really true to that, as my son is 2 and at the 95% in height standing 37". He has great difficulty extending his legs to the pedals when moving. We have the seat all the way up and he can barely touch the far pedal when rotating. Other than that I have no complaints. It is durable and has a good weight to it. Some folks complain about the overall weight but they will be buying lots of band-aids as the weight helps keeps the wheels down on turns. Overall, I would definitely recommend.Customer Review: I love this trike!!!

I bought the red Schwinn roadster trike for my nephew's 2nd birthday. I had previously spent a fortune on a Kettler trike for my niece on her 2nd birthday, and was unhappy with the quality of the Kettler. This time, after much research, I picked the Schwinn.
The trike was easy to assemble and looked fantastic. All the adults at the party thought the trike looked cool. (An uncle said he wished it came in an adult size.) The tots were off and pedaling in no time. The wide, low-riding structure helped them stay balanced and prevented tip-overs. It was easy for little legs to pedal. I trust the Schwinn name for quality and durability; this is an excellent trike for the money.
This is a perfect first trike; and I know it will give my nephew years of safe, comfortable fun.
Customer Review: Over hill, over dale - he can hit the trail!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
It was the Third Birthday present I was dreaming of for our son; luckily, he loved it too! I choose this because of our rugged New Hampshire terrain and gravel driveway. I wanted our son to have fun and success driving all over the yard; over rocks, in & out of dips and up hills. A two wheeler with training wheels would have only served to frustrate him. We can save that for later - as for now he is having a BLAST! It is especially nice that the seat can be adjusted closer and further from the pedals. Our guy is in the less than tenth percentile for height, so it was a relief when his feet did reach the pedals. We could not resist our excitement and gave him his present a week early, so he has been enjoying it for over a month now. Suddenly "red" is his official favorite color.Customer Review: Perfect for a 3 year old!

This bike is beautiful, well made, and well loved by my son who just turned 3. I had to write a review to combat another review that states that there is a height restriction of 38". The box does have a height chart on it that says Ages 2 to 4, 26" to 38". Since my son is 38" tall and just reaches the pedals on the seat setting closest to the wheel, I emailed the company to let them know of the problem and this is what they wrote back:
"Thank you for contacting us. The minimum height and age recommendation for the Schwinn Roadster is 3 yrs, 38" and up. I will be sure to have the boxes looked at to verify what they say."
Yes, apparently they've made a pretty big mistake on the box, but the fact that the minimum is 38" makes total sense. I hope this helps.
Customer Review: Schwinn Roadster-ONE COOL STABLE RIDE
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this after much reviews of other trikes. I was going to get a BIG WHEEL (thanks to that Lexus commercial!) for my son who is almost 3. After reading poor reviews for a BIG WHEEL (I guess they are not the quality as when I was growing up) I decided to look into a trike. The biggest concern I had was the trike tipping over. I must say this one is GREAT! Not only is it SUPER COOL looking it is extremely stable. SCHWINN has been a bike company I have had in my family for years and they did not let me down when they created this AWESOME TRIKE. My son is on the "short" side so he has to "reach" to get full extension of the pedals even with the seat adjusted. Only complaint I have which is such a "minor-one" is the bell was crushed in shipping.
