Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We have two "adult controlled" tricycles. The Schwinn Easy Steer Schwinn Easy Steer Tricycle, Red/White and the Radio Flyer All Terrain Stroll N' Trike Radio Flyer All-Terrain Stroll 'N Trike Ride On Both have nice features, but I like the Schwinn a little better. I'll explain. -The Schwinn has a wider wheel base so it is more difficult to tip over. This is especially useful if an older child might be pushing a younger child in the trike at any point. It also feels more stable going over grass or berms or natural terrain. -The Schwinn has foot pegs so the child has somewhere secure to rest their feet until they are big enough to reach the pedals. The Radio flyer has no such feature and the legs just dangle. -The Radio Flyer has the plastic bars that encircle the child and it is easy to be lazy and not use the straps. The Schwinn only has straps and thus, we always use them, so baby ends up more secure in the Schwinn. -The Schwinn is also bigger and will accommodate a greater age range of children (from about 8 months to 5 years), while the radio flyer is already too small for our 3 year old. -We have also found that the Schwinn works better for tall people/ long legged adults. We are tall adults 5'10 and 6' and are often bumping feet into the back of the Radio Flyer as we walk. This also happens occasionally with the Schwinn, but not as often. -The Schwinn has a front basket and a rear basket for holding toys or objects found. The Radio Flyer has a smaller rear basket only (though it does have a nifty little cover that the Schwinn does not). -The Radio Flyer has a handy shade that will protect baby from direct overhead sun (but we rarely use it as we do not really use it during that time of the day. The shade is not adjustable so its use is limited (it opens and closes, it does not tilt/ rotate). -The Radio Flyer has no brakes (the pedals just spin backwards). Maybe this isn't a huge deal as kids will learn to put their feet down to stop, but the Schwinn has brakes and the child can learn to use them as they progress towards two-wheeled bike skills. -The Radio Flyer has rubber tires that give a smoother ride than the plastic wheels on the Schwinn, but the rubber stinks bad. We had to park it in the sun for a couple weeks to get the smell to dissipate before we could put it in the garage. -Lastly, the Schwinn is about $60 less than the Radio Flyer at the time of this review. Thanks for reading, I hope this review is helpful!
