Our verdict

A classic steel-frame tricycle for toddlers, with an adjustable seat, bell and rear step. Assembly is required, and the weight limit is low enough that growth will end its use.

Overview

Balance on the Classic Tricycle comes from a controlled turning radius, and the steel frame, rubber tires and rear step make up the rest of the toddler ride. Chrome handlebars, a fender and a bell add the classic styling.

A familiar design with a seat that moves is the reason to consider it, since it adapts as a child grows within the age band. The limitation is the narrow age range and low rider weight limit.

Who it's for

Parents of two to four year olds looking for a first ride will use the rear step and low frame to help a child on and off. Families with taller or heavier children should look at larger trikes or bikes.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Adjustable seat for growth
  • Rubber tires on spoked wheels
  • Bell and chrome handlebars
  • Rear step for getting on and off
Cons
  • Narrow age band
  • Low rider weight limit

Performance notes

The turning limit built into the steering restricts how sharply the front wheel can swing, which reduces tipping on turns. The larger front wheel gives stability for new riders, and rubber tires smooth the ride on sidewalks. Stability depends on the rider staying within the weight and age range.
