Italtrike Rear Tipping Bucket ABC Tricycle

I'm giving this tricycle one star because it is so misnamed. The bucket DOES NOT tip!!! It is fixed in place. I specifically bought the trike because my daughter likes to tip buckets on her other toys, so I was very disappointed. Otherwise, the trike is good looking and apparently very sturdy. I would also add that the trike is definitely one of the smallest ones out there. The indicated age range of 18 - 36 months is probably okay at the low end of the age range (18 mo) , but optimistic at the high end. Our 28 month old girl, who is small for her age, is already getting cramped at the biggest size setting. The bucket is small ... cute, but it will not hold her favorite stuffed animal ... an important consideration in this household.

This bike is very cute and seems well-made. It was easy to put together. It is just slightly too big for our average-sized almost-two-year-old. My only complaint is that the pedal rotation is rather stiff (the actual pedals on their shafts, not the mechanism that turns the wheel). Since our toddler's legs are just a little too short, he can't push down with enough force to make the pedals rotate and his feet slip off them. In another couple of months I don't think this will still be a problem. Overall, a very nice trike with a striking design.

Perfect first trike. The only thing I would recommend is not attaching the bar that goes behind the seat. It makes it difficult for the child to get on and off the tricycle.

• How accurate was the sizing? Very accurate.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very well made.
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? No defects.

We just purchased this tricycle for our 13 month old son and couldn't be more pleased with it! It is sturdy, well-constructed, and stylish. We love that it's made of steel and rubber as opposed to the cheap plastic that you find on most of the toddler tricycles out there. Love the adjustable seat and fun/functional bucket on the back. This little ride is going to provide our son with several years of high-quality enjoyment! The only con: The directions weren't very clear, but we figured it out pretty quickly and had the trike together in a matter of moments.
