Yes. It's not always perfect steering, because the kids can take over the control, but gets the job done for the most part.

I believe it goes right if you turn right and he's left if you turn left grandchild hasn't in different city

No it follows the direction you want to go (left = left, etc.). However you share steering with your child. My son,who is a very large 20 month old, likes to (for some reason) fight me on the direction we need to go. He thinks it's hilarious. Since the handlebars are wider than the parent steering handle, he gets leverage on you by pushing all his weight onto the handlebar. You end up pushing down on the column to lift the front wheel off of the ground and set the trike in the direction you want to go. Only drawback. Overall I love it, and so does our son.

When you turn the parent handle right the bike goes right just like if the child was steering the bike

No, it's made to go on the left so that it doesn't interfere with the gear shifting and the chain. Also the shape of it lends itself to the left side of the bike. It would be backwards on the right.

I had the same problem. The quick release lever turns to set the seat tightness so it does not turn, I believe that was clockwise. My husband showed me how to tighten. I haven't had any problem with the seat turning after we adjusted it by that lever.

We just bought this bike and after 2 days the parent handle steering went out also. Did you have any luck fixing it or returning it?

the standard brakes? i install one and no problems. I think the device can have a lock to choose what side will be turn i mean the device can turn both sides on anytime , left -right and thats a security issue for me. if i want my dog stay only at right or only at left cant do that with the actual design. I would recommend these device anyway, and my bike is a trek with the standard brakes. Not disk brakes.

I bought the Barbie bike and put it together. The steering is not tight at all. Hope this helps!!

You can move the crank to either side. Its very ease and only takes a few seconds to do .

Yes the wheels turn with the handle. By turning the handle you can steer the wagon, forward and when backing up.

The handle bars are directly attached/operational with the front wheels. It's pretty easy to steer. It was very difficult for me to get it assembled correctly and tightly enough.

It will turn either way but will not go all the way around. Turn gently-do not force it.

I think it works like all the others. Instead of pushing forward, you push backward and turn the handlebars. The turning radius is limited. I think this is to add to stability. You can still turn in tight places by alternately moving back and forth or getting off and repositioning it by hand. It isn't very heavy.

We had an issue with the bike only going in reverse. We had to take the seat off and check the wiring, it was loose. I would suggest doing the same. I eventually sold the 2 I bought for $5 at a garage sale. The back wheel never stayed on. Worst money I ever spent. Good luck and I hope your child does enjoy their toy.

Yes, the front wheels turn with the handle. It works really well, we get a lot of use out of it.

it has been about a year so I can't remember too many details...except to say that the two pedals are not both "right-handed" screws on unicycles / bikes (so that they won't automatically loosen w/ use). Try to tighten (by hand!) the other direction. To answer the support question, probably no where available, and I'm not even sure it is "M Wave" b/c ours says "FUN" as the brand!

Your center support bar is upside down, unscrew it and flip it over. The handle bars are suppose to extend outward.

Yes. The handle operates the front brake and the rear brake is operated by back-pedaling. Great bike!
