Product Description
Featuring unique retro styling and a heavy-duty steel construction, the Schwinn 12" Roadster Trike is a great choice for your youngster's first trike. It has a low center of gravity thanks to a wider profile back, which offers added stability to prevent tipping. The swoopy steel frame has an easy step-through design so your tyke will be comfortable and ready to ride. The Roadster has a bucket seat with an opening on the back for easy carrying, and the seat can be adjusted underneath with twist knob (no tools needed) to five different positions. The handlebars have textured grips and raised ends that help keep the hands from slipping off, and the handlebars can be adjusted using a wrench. The pedals offer colored rubber accents that also provide extra gripping so shoes don't slide off. It also features air-filled tires--12 inches in front, 8 inches in the back--which provide a smoother ride over bumpy surfaces. For added style, this trike comes with a real wooden deck in back with a burned-in Schwinn logo, shiny silver fenders on the front and back tires, a bell on the handlebars (which can be removed), and tassels for added flair coming off the ends of the handlebars (also removable).

Can't give this enough praise! August 24, 2007

This is honestly the perfect trike. My parents bought this for my daughter for her 2nd birthday and we couldn't be more pleased with it. It's sturdy, has the ability to be adjusted for greater longevity and is gorgeous. Its retro-looking (like the old, rounded bikes Schwinn once made) with a sleek design and curvy shape. We got the pink model for my daughter and though I'm not a fan of pink in general, its gorgeous. It makes me think of a mini-pink-lady when she's on it, like I need to get her a pink leather jacket and some motorcycle boots.
Its extremely safe. We tried so many models in different stores and none come close to this one. The back wheels are wide set with large wheels for great stability. All wheels are bycycle-type instead of hard plastic. My daughter can STAND in the seat and turn the wheel (no, we didn't advocate this when she did it) and it won't tip over!
My last kudos is that it was very easy to put together. My husband was away when we got it and I had no problem putting it together (despite lack of experience on my part). A few nuts and bolts here with clear instructions and no problem!
Worth the price and will probably last forever! Go Schwinn!
Our Preschoolers Love This Trike! March 8, 2007
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
Having researched every trike known to Google, I decided to buy two of these for my twins' 3rd birthday presents. My deciding factors were these have metal frames (most trikes now are plastic and lightweight), they are low to the ground so balance is hardly even an issue, and the wheels are proper wheels that inflate not plastic. So comfort and movability are great. The weight, size of tires and low profile makes tipping almost impossible. Another nice thing is that the seat adjusts very easily and can accomodate our 5 year old who has asked for one for HIS birthday. They look cool too. They do need to be assembled but the instructions were good. The first one took me about 10 minutes and the second one took me about 5 minutes. The only negative is that both of the front wheels arrived flat so we had to pump them up before we could use them. Not a big deal and given how cold it is, not surprising there were some flat tires.
 Be aware: Height Restriction of 38" February 13, 2008
11 out of 13 found this review helpful
Ordered this tricycle because I wanted a sturdy metal framed trike with rubber wheels, one that wouldn't tip over when my two-year-old rounds a corner. I purchased this seeing that the manufacturer recommends it for ages 1 to 4, but was disappointed to see a height restriction on the box when it arrived: 38". My two-year-old is already 37.5" tall, so we'd get next to no use out of this. Had to return it, even though it looked great otherwise. It's true my son is in the 99th percentile for height, so not everyone will have this problem, but it would be helpful if the description here noted the restriction for parents of tall kids like mine.

Bought for 2yr. birthday, Looked everywhere. Store's hardly carry quality bikes. (or anything quality for that matter)Found doing a web search. She loves it! I love the quality. Seems like it may last for a heirloom. It's sets low, great for safety! And the 2yr. old says it's beautiful!!
Schwinn Roadster Trike January 15, 2007

A quality product. Low to the ground so very hard for a little one to tip over. Easy to assemble. Can't wait for the snow to disappear so we can take it outside! Have been riding it inside, mostly using our legs (we're not yet 2 yrs old) to scoot around. However, our bigger cousin (just turned 5 yrs old) had a blast with it and could still peddle without grinding his knees into the handle bars. This trike will last a long time and thru many kids!
