UPDATE:
I contacted the company, explained the welding issues and that the handlebars wouldn’t stat in place. I sent pictures and everything. They sent us a new wheel. That wasn’t the issue at all.
Now we are on issue #3. The pedal keeps falling off. The plastic is worn and keeps slipping off. We have tried everything we can think of to “fix” it, but keeps coming off. It’s infuriating as this bike isn’t the cheapest, and quality sure isn’t there, but we can’t take it away from our son as he really loves this bike. We keep rigging it up trying to keep it rideable. Do yourself a favor…spend more money and BUY AMERICAN!!!
I will be contacting the company yet again, they need to know (not that they care)
For the amount of money we paid for this item, I really expected more. We purchased this one instead of others because we felt we could trust Schwinn, a well known name when it comes to bikes. Unfortunately, we were wrong.
I’m typically not one to write a bad review, but people need to know the honest truth before they do like us and spend money on a disappointing tricycle.
Our son is 2 years old. We just put this tricycle together. For starters, the front wheel is crooked, husband says it’s the weld that’s bad. Secondly, the handle bars will NOT stay in place. If he turns right, the handlebars stay turned. He steers with the handlebar almost completely sideways. It’s so upsetting.
He was so excited to ride it, we let him go ahead and do so, but anytime he turns, we have to stop him to set the handlebars straight again.
VERY disappointing purchase!! I will leave this review for others, but will also be contacting the company itself.

I purchased this twice hoping that the first defective one was a fluke. The first time I assembled it, the seat was wobbly and the handlebars turned without turning the front wheel. No matter how hard I tightened it, this would happen. It was unsafe and unridable. The logo was crooked, the sticker on the seat was folded so it looked cheap, and it was missing a screw. I was so disappointed! I returned it for a refund. Thank you Amazon.
I repurchased the same bike in a different color hoping a different bike in a different box was all I needed. After all, the reviews are mostly good! Nope! Not only was there a stench of marijuana coming from the bubble wrap, the front wheel cover was dented and scratched. I clearly got a returned product as the packaging seemed to be done by another frustrated, duped buyer. But I’m working with a deadline here, so I decided to attempt assembly anyway. Sure enough, no matter how I positioned the seat and no matter how tightly I screwed it together, the seat still shifted from side to side. AND the handlebars STILL didn’t catch and would turn without turning the front wheel! So, sweaty and frustrated, (and a little mad at myself for doing this TWICE) I requested a refund and I’m waiting for UPS to come pick up this piece of junk. There’s no way this product is a real Schwinn unless they’ve completely given up on maintaining their reputation for quality.

Product good. But not as described and tassels were missing. 🙁

Mi principal problema con este triciclo es el precio, es más caro que otras marcas ya conocidas que puedes encontrar en tiendas en México (por ejemplo Apache) y a pesar de ser más bonito por tener llantas inflables un asiento ajustable, hay detalles que no me convencen del todo.
La llanta de enfrente en mi caso vino ligeramente torcida, no afecta el funcionamiento pero es algo que no he visto que pase con otros triciclos.
Las llantas traseras se ensamblan por uno mismo y el sistema de sujeción es relativamente simple pero, si se aprietan demasiado las llantas serán demasiado duras al girar y si se aprietan poco se siente un poco frágil y no queda tan fijo el guardafango.

El producto es muy vistoso pero de baja calidad, tiene bujes plásticos donde otros fabricantes colocan baleros, la tabla no es tabla es mdf, en verdad por el costo se esperaría un producto de mayor calidad, la calidad del producto me deja la duda de ¿cuanto tiempo le durara a mi pequeña?, de nada sirve que tenga un asiento ajustable si dura poco tiempo.

This tricycle is absolutely amazing. Strong, robust and well manufactured. However there was one problem which became apparent on Christmas Day when assembling the bike for our grandson. The bell was broken and did not ring. Although the tricycle functioned well our two year 8 month old was disappointed as the bell would not ring ! I hope the manufacturer gets to read this criticism as I feel its a fault that needs to be rectified. After all, when you’re two, you need a bell to warn people you are coming.

Got this for my adorable 2 year old granddaughter..she just loves it so far ..she is 32 inches tall and can just reach the pedals with the seat all the way forward ..
the rear axle does not have ball bearings so i took it apart and put grease on the bushings..attaching a photo to show what i did..
i seen from another reviewer that they had water damage after water was spilt on the back wooden board..so i took it off and the chrome ring around it and sanded it down with 200 grit sandpaper and gave it 5 coats of minwax acrylic clearcoat ..o my it shines now plus should help protect for years to come ..
the front wheel does have ball bearings so i put a couple of drops of oil in there.just help it last longer..
the rear tires are a pain to inflate ..tried to put air in them and the tire pops off the rim..so i used painters masking tape and got the tire where i wanted it and wrapped tape around tire and rim so the tape would hold in place while inflating ..worked like a charm..see attached photo ..
all in all we love it and our little one does too..hope this helps others to decide on a good fit for there little angel

Great build and sturdy design. Bit confusing to build from instructions but we got there. Children love it.
