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 first version of this guide was written by Katharine Gammon, a science writer, when her children were 1½ and 3½ years old. Kate spent upwards of 25 hours researching and testing a dozen tricycles, and she interviewed two pediatric physical therapists, among other experts.
We appreciated that the infant harness was padded across the chest, but it didn’t tighten as well as our top pick’s harness. The INFANS Kids Tricycle is similar to our top pick, with more-durable steel features and a slightly schwinn mountain bike easier-to-use steering mechanism. And our kid testers found it less easy to use, likely because the IFANS trike is about 4 pounds heavier than the Radio Flyer tricycle (20 pounds versus the Radio Flyer’s 16).

The amount you can expect to receive in store credit when trading in your bike with a dealer. I’d guess the single-speed freewheel/freehub on the jackshaft has something wrong with its pawls.
It also adds stability to the bike, especially during turns or on uneven terrain. The Meridian Trike has an aluminum frame that is lightweight and durable. This makes it easy to maneuver while still being strong enough to support riders up to 300 pounds. A child can begin balance biking from as young as 15 to 18 months on a light bike with a low seat; they can simply rest their bum on the seat, hold the handlebars, and walk around. In July 2023, Woom issued a recall of bikes with a one-bolt stem clamp design, like the Woom 1, made from 2018 to 2021 because the stem and handlebars could detach. Many prefer to skip a balance bike and stick with a tricycle or scooter until they’re ready for a pedal bike.
Slightly bigger with easy-to-install pedals, this two-in-one option can also serve as a kid’s first pedal bike. The Doona Liki Trike S5 has some great features, such as the ability to fold down for travel (it’s designed to fit in overhead bins on airplanes). We enjoyed its three-second fold, padded straps, and sleek look. Like our top pick, this one converts to multiple stages. But this trike is more than triple the cost of our top pick. And the push bar is also more loosely attached than that of our runner-up pick; this made it difficult for an adult to push the Liki in a straight path, especially one-handed.
The heavy-duty double-wall alloy rims add strength and stability to the bike, making it suitable for different terrains. Install Rear Drive Sub-FrameLoosen and remove the four bolts at the rear of the main frame. Slide the rear drive sub-frame over the main frame until the holes in both components are aligned.
