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).

Best Trike for Your Money May 10, 2008
I purchased the blue and the pink Schwinn Roadster 12-inch trikes for my 20-month old twins as an early birthday present before the hot summer months arrive. I searched the internet and local stores for about 2 weeks before settling on this model, mainly because of the great reviews it has received and because these are just so darn cute! I bought these on a Saturday and received VERY QUICKLY, the following Wednesday.
It took me about 15 minutes to put the first one together, WITH my kids walking around trying to "help" me. The second one only took about 10 minutes to put together. SUPER easy! All you need is an adjustable wrench and a screwdriver. There were only 4 parts to put together. You can't beat that!
I LOVE how cute these are. They are so sturdy. I love the inflatable tires since we have a huge yard that would be hard to peddle around in with plastic wheels. There are about 4 or 5 adjustment holes for the seat position too, as well as plenty of growing room with the handlebars too. I have these set at the shortest/closest positions for my 20-month olds and they can almost reach the peddles now. They love to "ride" these by pushing with their feet. Oh, and the little bells on the handlebars are too cute! My kids figured out how to make those ding in no time. There is not one bad thing I can say about these trikes. I am extremely pleased with the quality and the price.
GiGi-Hannah's grandmother May 9, 2008
Love it, love it and love it. Super fast shipping. I bought this for my granddaughter who just turned 3 years old. Easy to assemble and great quality for a tricycle. She not only loves the tricycle, but has a blast with the bell. This tricyle is made like the bike of yester years. Super price on Amazon along with the free shipping. I would recommend this product to all who are considering the first tricyles. A+A+A+
Good tricycle. May 5, 2008
This is a very good tricycle. Easy Assembly! When I say easy, I was actually disappointed I didn't get to assemble much of it! This tricycle is very sturdy and is difficult to tip when the child is seated. All tricycles suffer from tipping but this seems to be the sturdiest. I believe the product said it was meant for ages 2 1/5 on up, which it is really true to that, as my son is 2 and at the 95% in height standing 37". He has great difficulty extending his legs to the pedals when moving. We have the seat all the way up and he can barely touch the far pedal when rotating. Other than that I have no complaints. It is durable and has a good weight to it. Some folks complain about the overall weight but they will be buying lots of band-aids as the weight helps keeps the wheels down on turns. Overall, I would definitely recommend.
Better than Radio Flyer...! May 5, 2008
Like another reviewer, we got the classic red (not Mickey Mouse)... my six kids have all grown up on various Radio Flyer tricycles... but when the next.to.last 'hand.me.down' RF finally started falling apart, we decided to explore some more recent designs especially for their safety features... wow, Schwinn has designed what could possibly be the Perfect Tricycle...! assembled in less than 5 minutes, low center of gravity for stability, air.filled high.texture tires for traction with reasonable rolling resistance, ergonomic (and moderately adjustable) seat, great styling, reasonable price, and even a classic bell sound... we noticed right away that our youngest did not tip over as he did with the RF trikes when he made his usual tight turn in the driveway... the only possible negative we've seen is that the grips of the handlebars swing into a rider's chest when they attempt a very tight turn (of more than 90 degrees)... for us this has been the nearly ideal combination of Schwinn quality, "Big Wheel" stability and maneuverability, and Radio Flyer classic styling... A++...!
I can not say enough great things about this bike! May 2, 2008
First off, how cool looking is this bike?! I have the coolest pre-schooler in the neighborhood!
We gave our daughter the pink one for Christmas. We did a lot of research and put a lot of thought into our selection. We were not let down at all!
It has a low center of gravity. Not even something I considered being important before I started researching which bike we wanted to get her. This was going to be her first tricycle.. and frankly, being related to me means she predisposed to being a total klutz. It's pretty darn hard to tip over. The bike is sturdy and solid.
Did I mention how cool it looks? After my husband assembled it, I caught him in the garage on X-mas even polishing the crome. I think he was a bit jealous.
Our daughter was literally riding around the neighborhood like a pro from the start! It has an adjustable seat, so it didn't matter too much in regards to how tall she is.
My 1 and only complaint... the bike is so nice looking, we can't seem to find a helmet as cool as her bike. Oh well, princess Dora will have to do for now.
