Tricycles for Kids Iconic Trikes for Your Little One

This trike is a solid option if you can’t find the Radio Flyer, or if you want a trike with sturdier hardware. The INFANS trike weighs 20 pounds, whereas the Radio Flyer is 16, so it’s a bit harder for little kids to ride the INFANS trike by themselves. We also liked the pedal covers of the Radio Flyer’s stroller configuration better than the foot pegs on the INFANS trike.

Thread the hanging section of chain back around the rear axle, but don’t put it onto the gear yet. Push one side of the quick link onto one end of the secondary chain, then push the second side of the quick link over the opposite side of the other end of the chain. Bring the two ends of the chain together and snap both sides of the quick link together, then pull the chain taut. Inspect the quick link to verify both pins are fully engaged in the plates. Tighten the four bolts securing it to the main frame. Install Front Wheel

Loosen both axle nuts at both ends of the axle and slide the tabbed washers out.

Whether it’s finding great products or discovering helpful advice, we’ll help you get it right (the first time). It took only 20 minutes to build the INFANS Kids Tricycle. Like the Radio Flyer tricycle, this one has a lot of parts, but the instructions are a bit clearer, and the required tools are included. The IFANS trike’s canopy is made with thicker material than the Radio Flyer trike’s canopy. That means this one can protect your child for longer during a rainstorm or provide a bit better shade coverage.

Both writers also threw “bike parties” with a dozen kids, ages 1 to 7, along with the parents, and they noted which options everyone gravitated toward and which they ignored. We looked for trikes that can be passed down from child to child. We tested tricycles made from steel, aluminum, and plastic, in varying combinations. Compared with trikes that were 100% plastic, trikes with at least some steel tended to age better and more consistently stood up to a beating.

Like our top pick, this one converts to multiple stages. The sunshade is similar to that of our top pick, too. But this trike is more than triple the cost of our top pick.
