Bought this trike some while ago for our 2 year old son and he has had endless hours of fun riding it. The parent handle was great until he could pedal himself and he now whizzes around unassisted. Very robust and excellent value for money. Still looks as good as when it was purchased even though it has had a lot of wear and stays outside in all weathers. Only slight negative is that the wheels are quite noisy so when used in conjunction with the parent handle you have to stop to speak but that seems to be the case with all trikes of this kind. Strongly recommend it.
