Amazon.com Product Description
Featuring unique retro styling and a heavy-duty steel construction, the Schwinn Roadster is a great choice for your youngster's first trike. It has a low center of gravity thanks to a wider profile back, which offers added stability to prevent tipping. The swoopy steel frame has an easy step-through design so your tyke will be comfortable and ready to ride. 
The Roadster is packed with stylish details, including real wood back deck, shiny silver steel fenders, and a comfy bucket seat. | The Roadster has a bucket seat with an opening on the back for easy carrying, and the seat can be adjusted underneath with twist knob (no tools needed) to five different positions. The handlebars have textured grips and raised ends that help keep the hands from slipping off, and the handlebars can be adjusted using a wrench. The pedals offer colored rubber accents that also provide extra gripping so shoes don't slide off. It also features air-filled tires--12 inches in front, 8 inches in the back--which provide a smoother ride over bumpy surfaces. For added style, this trike comes with a real wooden deck in back with a burned-in Schwinn logo, shiny silver fenders on the front and back tires, a bell on the handlebars (which can be removed), and tassels for added flair coming off the ends of the handlebars (also removable).

fantastic little trike September 2, 2008
I purchased this trike for a four-year-old's birthday gift. I hesitated as many other reviews said this was for a younger child, but it got such raves that I took the plunge and made the purchase. I'm so glad I did!
The look on this kid's face when he unwrapped the box was priceless - such pure joy. He's been riding it endlessly.
We live on a ranch with rough dirt roads, so many of the other "Big Wheel" type bikes we looked at were inadequate for our ranch roads, and a 2-wheeled bike with training wheels was too unsteady on the rough roads. The Schwinn Roadster rides beautifully on dirt roads.
Reasons we love it:
- It sits low to the ground so won't tip over like conventional tricycles.
- The seat has a back on it to keep child from sliding backwards.
- Real bicycle tires make for a smoother ride and grip the road.
- Chrome fenders, bright paint, streamers on handles and wooden running board make the bike look so cool!
If your child is too young for a 2-wheeled bike, the Schwinn Roadster is definitely worth consideration.
I highly recommend this bike.
Best Trike Ever! September 2, 2008
We bought my daughter this tricycle in pink for her 2nd birthday and she was amazed! If fact all of the adults were amazed too! Personally, I like the classic features and the fact that she can ride so low to the ground and doesn't tip when she turns or goes fast (low=short falls). There are several other tricycles out there to choose from, but none looked as stylish or as safe for my daughter as this one. I would recommend this trike to anyone looking and I would buy this again for future children. There isn't a day that doesn't go buy that my daugter doesn't ride her trike, so worth the money!!!
Awesome August 28, 2008
Wish I had this when I was a kid! Stable, takes a beating, adjustable seat for more than one season's use and very well built. Great buy...
Love this Trike August 14, 2008
I bought this tricycle for my grandaughter who is 3 1/2 - she is tall for her age and this tricycle is perfect for her. The quality is very good and she will be able to ride it for a few years and then her brother will get it. I was worried about it upsetting when she turned a curve, but no problems at all. She rides it on our patio and down a ramp at a pretty good speed then around the patio table but still it does not upset. I highly recommend it!
 Disappointed July 27, 2008

I bought this trike for my 20 month old daughter from the review and I liked the way it looked. However, after just a few days I was disappointed with the trike. First off, the triked has a toxic smell that won't go away. I had to store it outside the house. After just hours after pumping the tires with air, the front tire got a flat. The ringer on the handle bar is also poorly design. My daughter keeps taking it a apart, and parts fell off. I would not buy or recommending buying this trike again.
