12" Schwinn Roadster Trike, Red

12" Schwinn Roadster Trike, Red

The Schwinn Roadster tricycle offers hours of fun with a cool retro-modern look. Its sturdy construction features an extra-low center of gravity frame that helps prevent tipping. With custom "mustache" cruiser handlebars with long tassels, a real wood deck with a burned Schwinn logo and a sculpted seat for optimum comfort and support, it's the coolest thing on three wheels.

this is a great trike if you're looking for something bigger for your 3 or 5 year old. the ones they have in the stores are usually tiny. my only comment is that it is a little bit heavy. but probably not any more than you would expect. the air-filled tires are great. the styling is cool.

I bought this for my 3 year old for his B-Day. It has been a huge hit!! We love it. It is very sturdy and doesn't flip as easy as others do. Every day my son asks when he gets to ride his new trike.

I bought this trike for my 2 yr old son for his birthday. He loves it! It is well made and very sturdy. The assembly was quick and easy. My son doesn't use the peddles yet, but he is able to push along with his feet. Even my 5yr old loves it! The bell is also a great addition!! I would definately recommend this purchase!!

Beautiful chrome and paint, 10/24/2009

Bike is very striking with beautiful paint and chrome.
Instructions leave out the bushings above and below the forks, but I figured it out OK.

I do like the bike, and hope my grandson will too!

Bought it for 3 year old (5 year old likes it too). Once my husband adjusted the seat just right, our son was able to get it going pretty well for a first timer. Trike seems really sturdy, which is good because our 3 year old is fairly sturdy himself.

Son loves it, 08/18/2009
By labelladonna88, Porterville, CA
Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 3 out of 5

We bought this bike for our son's second birthday. My son loves it although its a little large for him now he will be able to ride it for a while. I read all the reviews and was very excited, but when we took the bike out of the box the S label on the seat was all bubbled and looked like someone had already tried to pill it off. The finders were poorly painted and the decal stickers were crooked and bubbled as well. I am surprised. Schwinn is a good bran and you would think they would take more pride in their product. Over all we are keeping the bike we realize the looks of the stickers and paint won't matter after a few months anyway.

Review 7 for 12" Schwinn Roadster Trike, Red

Nice tryke., 08/04/2009
By Shazamiter
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

Very nice trike and extremely well built, the only place where it appears Schwinn skimped is the head bearing (where the forks go through the frame.) This being plastic, I would have expected something brass or some other material. But I expect you have to cut costs somewhere. Elsewise the thing is built like a tank, and would be a good buy at $112 as it is advertised elsewhere. but here for $50 it's a steal.

My grandson loves his new trike. You could smell the rubber from the tires before you opened the box. Excellent quality and a snap to put together. Never forget the look on his face when he saw his very first trike! Thx Wal-Mart! You people are the best!

By QueenLay, New York, NY
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I purchased this product based on the description and reviews. Overall the product is sturdy and pretty. Your neighbors will envy your child's stylish bike compaired to their normal trike. However, the description on the box states for 1 1/2 yr old to 5 yr olds this is not possible unless your child is taller than average. My son is 2yrs and 3months old and 2ft 11in tall and he cannot keep his feet on the pedal to ride the bike. He is unable to complete the full rotation with the pedal, instead he pushes himself with his feet inching the bike along. For you parents with a bad back like me prepare to be in pain while pushing your child. I can't wait for him to be able to ride the bike himself. He gets excited when he sits on it but then gets frustrated when his foot comes off the pedal. Overall I would still recommend the bike.

my son is 3 and i bought him this because my little niece received this for her 2nd birthday. i couldnt get him off of it so i bought it. I love everything about this except for the fact that after about 10mins of riding it he tells me his legs are tired so we can't really ride it far. it has a perfect seat the handle bars are perfect. i would definitely recommend this

Review 12 for 12" Schwinn Roadster Trike, Red

My son loves it!, 07/20/2009
By HeatherHall, Colquitt, GA
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

We bought this tricycle for my son's 2nd birthday. Everyone at the party (kids included) had a fit over it. Everyone wanted to know where I had bought it from. The details (chrome, black tassels, etc.) make it a very special tricycle. It is definitely a keepsake. The seat is adjustable, which is nice. He can't quite reach the pedals, so he is scooting around using his feet. I would recommend this product to anyone with a small child between the ages of 2-4 years of age.

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

The age bracket on this website is wrong. It states its for ages 3-6, but when the box came it said ages 1 1/2 - 4 years of age. Had we known this we probably would've decided on a small 12" bike with training wheels for our 3 yr. old son instead. Fortunately we got a good deal on the bike and have decided to keep it until our son grows out of it.

Still a cute bike, 07/02/2009
By GrannyandAuntie, North Carolina
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I bought the bike for my 2 1/2 year old grandson. When I took it out of the box I noticed the fenders were bent so I bent them back. Instead of paint the designs were stickers. But the bike was still a cute bike! After putting the bike together, the back left tire would not stay pumped up. When I did pump it up, the tube popped out of the rim. I called the company to order a complete new tire from the company. In a couple days I received 2 small black pieces(like a washer) that actually go on the handlebars. I called the company back, again, asked for a COMPLETE tire, completely confused on the pieces that were sent to me. In a few days, I had the complete tire. The bike is a very cute bike but kind of pricey. I was disappointed at the problems with the bike after getting it set up out of the box. But the cool design in the end may be worth it. We'll see.... I have only had it a couple weeks.

A Great Trike, 05/30/2009
By mahoneymama, Burbank, California
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

We bought this trike for my son's 3rd birthday and he absolutely LOVES it! We originally went to the Schwinn website and they wanted $99.99 for it so I suggested to my husband to look for it on the WalMart website. We ordered it 8 days before his birthday and paid a little extra to have it within 5 days and it arrived two days before his birthday. It has such a classic look that we plan to keep this trike for our grandkids! Only thing we wish it had was breaks....

Great!!!, 05/22/2009
By ZiggyMommy, Chicago, IL
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

We received this as a gift for my sons 2yr birth anniversary. It was in the dead of winter! He practiced a little here and there in the apt. He has been able to go out with it and LOVES to go bike riding! It is easy for him to steer and move around(get out the grass). It handles bumps very well. He gets so many compliments on his trike! He looks soooo cute. It is like the BMW or Cadillac of bikes! We all like it a lot. It is a bit larger than I expected but that means he will be able to use it even longer! If your child is smaller than average or just on the short end of average, I would suggest getting a smaller bike or waiting. My son could just reach the pedals at 2 and he is in the 75 percentile for height. This trike really has some go-go speed so have your running/jogging shoes on! And please don't let big children/adults put THEIR weight on the board(not a good thing)!

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

My son is 4 and loves the bike. I wish it had brakes on it. The price on the bike was a little high for a tricycle and I would have expected it to have brakes on it with it being $70+ I did not like that I could not get it at the store and had to wait for it to be shipped. I would recommend padding however, because my son has tipped the bike several times and scuffed his knees. Overall a good buy!!!!
Oh, the paint does scratch easily too.

We are overall very pleased with the trike. However, out of the box there were actually a few scratches in the paint. I got the trike through WalMart Site-to-Store so I know it wasn't a return that was re-sold. Fortunately the scratches are in a location fairly inconspicuous.
