How helpful is the pole? Would you recommend it? Do you think it is better or worse than the Radio Flyer Radio Flyer Deluxe Steer and Stroll Trike?

It's helpful until the child figures out how to use the pedals and then it comes in handy when they poop out and you need to push them home. Beats bending over.

This is was for our g grandaughter and the pole was very useful. She now 3 1/2. Good trike.

Wagon is more stout (heavier) than a Radio Flyer type. To me it pulls very easily on very cheap wheels. It is a very narrow wheel set so it will tip easily going across slope or if you have a high load in it. Some sharp parts if this is a concern around kids.

yes, it steers quite easily for my 3 year old granddaughter. It is a really wonderful toy!

Ours steers surprisingly well. We bought this for my son when he was just under a year...it has been and still is (he is 3 now) one of his favorite toys.

Hi Mallory, I would love to help you but I didn't order this for myself. I ordered it for my job, but they are placed in the factory so I haven't even seen the merchandise. But they seemed very happy with the pole. I apologize for not being able to help more. Karen

I think the child ought to be walking first. I bought two trikes for two of my grandkids for Christmas when they were between one and two years old. They rode them a little bit, but mostly waited until spring to ride outside. If your child is not able to ride right away, the trike is still a good investment because riding it is a slow progressive process and it is a toy he/she will grow into it. The kids were certainly happy to receive their trikes and loved just sitting on them!

I'm looking into getting this one with the 2 wheels in the BACK instead of the 2 wheels in the front like the Radio Flyer. We had a Radio Flyer one and I threw it in the garbage. It was impossible to steer so since the scooter wouldn't steer my children would lean into a turn causing the stupid thing to turn over. Every time! I had a 7, 5 and 2 year old all get hurt on the Radio Flyer one. My older kids love the regular razor so looking into this one for my 2 year old

My grandson is in Florida. I don't know how tall He is,but His big Sister is still tiny. You see their Dad is only 5'3 like me and their Mom is only 4'5".I might not be the person to ask, because my Grandkids are tiny. Mya,(My Granddaughter) does ride the trike, but Tony isn't "peddling" it yet, He just "scoots" on it. I hope that helps you. It's still a great trike to grow into. Another Fisher-Price Product I'm happy with. My Son said it was really nice, but they would just have to wait until the kids both "grew" !

My grandson absolutely loves radio flyer. He learned how to ride it almost immediately. He's had so much fun with it and still enjoying it.Your godson will learn how to lean rather than turn the handle. My grandson was a little over three years old when I got it for him.

I, wont take mine on the highway. Wont even plate it. I am not a qualified mechanic/trailer builder. I just use mine on the ranch, hauling tools and whatnot. Maybe if you are confident in your building skills it would be ok. To me it seems a bit small to pull down the road behind a pick up or car. Wheels are too small for me, also i dont think it has enough weight to keep it stable. For the road, and for safety, if it were me, i'd get something bigger. Just one mans opinion.

It is better than riding in a stationery position even if you don't go far. I am not in competition with anyone, just trying to keep on the move anyway I can and go some place. I also have a recumbent trike, bike and Trikke.

We brought it for our granddaughter when she was 18 months old and she loved it. She pulled it instead pushing it but nevertheless, she really liked it.Now she is two and has a doll carriage which she is liking very much, that needs to be pushed. If the child is a boy, I say go for it! Another option would be a small wagon because they like to cart around their things. I hope this helps. We have so much fun with her; it's great.

We bought this toy for our grandson, at around 18 months of age. He enjoyed straddling it inside and, as he grew, could use the pedals to power himself. If it's used outside, I would still supervise your child, as sometimes little people become distracted, looking all around and can tip themselves over. Their feet will be the brakes, so supervision is also needed where stopping is critical, or on downward slopes. Our grandson's favourite part of this toy is the 'trunk', where he can stow a stuffed animal, toy, or other gadgets. Radio Flyer is a great brand, and we have bought other pieces as gifts. I think you'll be pleased if you go ahead with this purchase. We bought this toy for our grandson, at around 18 months of age.

i had problems taking it down the other day. there was a part that got stuck after being up for about 3 months, and i had to get other people to help me take it down. eventually we got it loose with a wrench that's not included in the toolkit that comes with the pole.

Walmart sells a similar trike. I looked at them. I don't think they are the same trike. This is made by the people who made the Good Humor Man ice cream trikes. When you get it running it's awesome. But, you might have to pay $15 to a bicycle shop to get the gear hub synced.

It is a very excellent scooter. I believe that it steers around corners...I gave it to my grandson and he is not here right now. It is very well built and sturdy. He takes it out in NYC and does fine with it so it must steer.

I did not actually see the wagon. I bought it and had it shipped directly to my granddaughter. Her daddy put the wheels on and said it was an extremely nice wagon ( which I was not surprised as the radio flyers are top notch ) just looking at the pictures my son sent to me with my granddaughter sitting in it, I would say that they are fairly high as she would not fall out. But now this one was the original classic radio flyer. Well worth the money. My husband remembers radio flyers when he was a kid and he is now 82 so that should tell that they are great wagons by a reputable company. Also, this wagon us all steel, not a plastic one. Hope this is helpful.
