There are reviews stating a problem with the child steering once the push bar is removed. Is this the case?

Slide the red plastic receptacle up toward the handle bar (front) There you should find, a clamp, which requires two 7/16 wrenches, in order to tighten the kids handle bar, to the front wheel.

It requires a firm push, then it should click into place. If not, then it is defective. Without handling it myself, it is difficult to tell what the problem is.

We haven't had our child in it yet but our front wheels moved when we were playing with it. Maybe double check your rods in the front end.

So far I have not had that problem and I have been on some bumpy roads with the stroller. I will keep an eye on it though and if it happens I will let you know.

Not really. Rear wheels are fixed so you can't really steer it if you're pushing.

My husband put this together and had no problem with the steering being too tight. It was really easy for our grandson to turn and I also noticed the same when I would steer it to put it away. My son-in-law never mentioned a problem with the one we sent to them. Both of ours were the Harley Davidson and not Thomas the Train, but the basic design looks the same. Perhaps it's just your particular one. I'd contact Fisher Price and see if they could help.

No you did it right, this is one of the flaws with this system it really is not that good. I returned mine and got a heavy duty one that has a top and bottom bracket to go around the linkage as to not fall and rest on the linkage, I would return if I were you it is not a good product and made my steering much worse

my issue with it is that the bolts come loose. The handle bars get loose fast no matter how much you tighten them. So far no complaints from my kids about the back wheels.

I didn't try it. The only issue I forsee is not the installation on roadbike bars but the fact that road bars have you leaning far forward and the child would be forced to bend forward.

Yes, when using the push bar, the steering column locks allowing complete control over steering.

I have a problem with the 2 back wheels. After we had snapped on the wheels, we noticed the carriage was uneven. It's minor, but I can feel it when u push it. My only suggestion is to undo the wheel and put it back on. If nothing works, just send it back for a replacement. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Not really, it just changes your center of gravity, so it's a little harder to steer, especially with a bigger baby (mine is 17 mos. old) he loves it though!

Yes, the toy bar should pull off completely. It is designed so it can be removed when not needed.

Sure thing...it's a normal trike, but with the push bar attached. The push bar is removable when you don't need it anymore.

Yes, the steering is good and turns well. I bought this for preschoolers at a preschool.

I had the same problem being the Nana but my son was able to pull off the wheels with a "good strong tug!" Obviously, the originator did not consider the need to make the wheel assembly more "child and parent friendly," unfortunately.

I think it is. I ended up buying different tires and it "drifted" with ease. I also had to reinforce the front undercarriage because the bumper cracked because of too many crashes. I'm now having to rework the steering mechanism because it also came apart from the wrecks. But, for the money, I believe it lived up to the advertisement. Would I buy it again, the answer is yes.
