Find Best Price at Amazon"This bike earned five stars from our household because it's a good-looking, thoughtfully designed option for small kids who want a big-kid ride. -- It comes in a hard-to-find 14" size, which is just right for many riders ages 4 and 5. He was riding a 16" bike with training wheels, and although he had developed the balance necessary to ride without trainers, he was afraid to ride without them as his feet couldn't touch the ground."
"I sat down and read every single review of this bike, and I would like to address what seemed to be the most popular complaints: * "Too heavy!" Then, thinking about the mess of returning this large object, I ran out to the shed to see how heavy her 12" bike was. * "Wheels don't spin freely" - This was also a big concern of mine, as I am a stickler about quality control at the factory level. One thing I noticed was that the front caliper brakes needed to be adjusted, as they were rubbing slightly against the tire, creating that "imbalanced" sound when spinning the wheel quickly. If the coaster brake is engaged in the slightest, you can hear it rubbing as the wheel turns, so take note. Which leads me to the next con to address... * "Wheels out of true" - This one was concerning because it was mentioned by a few reviewers who claimed to have experience in bike assembly, maintenance, and repair. Once I figured out tightening the spokes was counterclockwise, in about 10 minutes I had both wheels very close to true and they spun much easier! Since I was able to correct the issue, and I'm pretty sure that places like Wally World and Target don't "true" their bikes prior to purchase, I decided not to dock a star. However, after easily peeling off a few decals, and throwing out the ridiculous stickers that come with it, this bike only says "RoyalBaby" in two places...the seat and the center of the handlebars. Even the company logo on the front of the frame has a predominant crown where you can't even see the small print "RoyalBaby" unless you stick your face right up to the forks. However we have several bicycle water bottles in our home and they all fit snugly in the holder, which is made of metal and bolts to the frame. Besides, the rear axle sits in a groove which allows you to slide it backwards or forward to adjust the tension in the chain, which apparently, some of these reviewers failed to realize. With a little time taken to read the instructions and make some basic adjustments, this bike seems more than capable of providing our kids with years of good riding."
"We had a balance bike before and this is her first pedal bike."
"The only negative I have to mention, and it’s a small one is that the water bottle holder doesn’t fit too well between the seat, and rear tire."
"Looked like it was easy to assemble (I caught Santa putting it together Christmas Eve) and I love that it comes with all the extras that you would want on a bike like a water bottle, a bell, and the training wheels."
"he did mention it did not say Royal "Baby" and the bell that came with it did not work."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"After reading the almost all positive reviews for this bike, I decided to spend a bit more money on this balance bike compared to some of the others. I feel like this bike teaches your kids to independently ride, while building confidence in their ability to balance the bike."
"The little foot stand extension in front of the back tire might come in handy once she gets going and can set her feet on while rolling down a hill, but until then it really gets in the way while her short little legs try to pedal the bike forwards bumping her in the back of the legs every step."
"My son got it for Christmas this year and so far he only got to use it twice due to cold weather but the bike is cute and it great for 2 year old."
"Daughters love it, it is lightweight and easy to take along with me places."
"Bought this bike for my nephew for his 2nd birthday."
"Easy to put together, easy to ride and one happy little boy."
"My great grandson was so pleased to have his "own" bike."
"It was very wobbly and the handle wasn't even on each side."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"My only criticisms are that it takes a little while to put together (20 to 30 minutes) and also the adult handle bar could be a couple inches longer."
"We used to put a diaper and small pack of wipes for trips to the park, and I'm sure our little one will be able to keep little toys in there when she starts exploring on her own, but it's just not as handy as I expected."
"This trike is ok. We bought this for our second child to replace one we had for our first child that didn't allow us to control the steering which was a big pain. Second, I wish there was a way for the pedals to lock so that the child can learn earlier that they need to use the pedals to move the trike."
"So I wanted to buy my daughter a trike that I can push until she reaches the peddles and also adjusts to her size. I really needed this to be a sturdy, easy to maneuver, and durable trike for long periods of use since we do plenty of walking. I've read in some reviews that some trikes have handles that come off and feel cheap because of the plastic materials they are made from. It has a hatchback, meaning there is a compartment on the back that can hold keys, phones, toys, and rocks that your child might collect on your walk. And lastly, the seat moves, the harness can be taken off, the pedals can be adjusted to stay still while you push the bike... Basically many things that other trikes didn't have."
"My daughter loves this bike when she first seen it, and she still loves it. We have to keep telling her to put feet up."

"The bike seems to be well made, it is definitely quite light which helps her to feel more confident and gives her the ability to control it."

"It seems like it should have two points of attachment. Great tractor!"
"It is so hard to put together that I had to call TAKL and hire a man to come over and put it together, and it was a good thing he brought his tool box."
"My grandson loves his tractor and rides it constantly."
"CONS: The access to change the batteries on the radio requires you to remove the steering wheel which is annoying. The 2nd gear drains the battery twice as fast as 1st gear. So I went with the battery upgrade."
"My son opened up the tractor for Xmas, I put it together and the radio channel up don't work and the button is square and the channel down button is a triangle, the sticker cut out is a triangle so I am assuming it was suppose to be a triangle not a square."
"My very patient son stayed up on Christmas eve and put it together, but we started charging the battery that morning. The battery operated car he had before this had a button he had to hold down next to the steering wheel, so he loves this feature, just had to get used to it."
"Customer service was HORRIBLE I did not have the patience to deal with their indifference so I eventually spoke to a supervisor who refunded the difference between the "new item" price and the "used item" price."

It was easy to put together, a couple tires came flat (probably from storage or something) but no problem for us we had air compressor. I also wished it had more of fender on front like the kettler (something going up to the steering wheel but only because i make tshirts for sports teams, moms, bdays etc as well as car stickers and wanted to create him a unique sticker he wanted on it, again that is just appearance but would make it that much more awesome with it!"

"I have found memories of the little red wagon I had as a boy, so when my own son turned 2, I decided to buy him his own red wagon. Best Features: -Old Fashioned Good Looks. -Very sturdy construction. -Pneumatic tires are smooth and quiet across a variety of surfaces. -Wooden side boards increase capacity. Drawbacks: -Metal construction can get hot in the sun. -Easy to scrape the paint off the metal handle if it falls on concrete. Summary: The pneumatic tires and wooden side boards make this wagon a great child's toy that should last outlast his/her interest and still be good for the next generation."

"Set up was fairly easy so don't worry about your skill level when it comes to being handy. I would highly recommend that you let the tires air out for a couple of days because they do have a strong smell like everyone else has been saying."

The brake cover was hard plastic that my daughter couldnt step on hard enough to stop, so she would have to jump off or run into something to stop."
"If the scooter can hold up to toddlers, preschoolers and big kids all day, everyday, in a public play area... that's the kind of quality we want!"
"This is great for a little kid's first wheels."
"We initially bought a different scooter with one wheel in the front and two wheels in the back because I thought it would make it more stable."
"My husband and I weren't sure about the locked handlebars and tilt-to-turn steering from the description, but it's quite genius. I'm so glad that we went with this one because I've seen many kids on other three-wheelers since we got it and I can see- even from a distance- that the wheels are small and catch the bumps, the board is stiff and the handlebars difficult to steer."
"Also, it can really pick up speed and it's pretty cool to see my 3 yr old barreling down the sidewalk grinning ear to ear..fully capable of stopping, turning and maneuvering his scooter!"
"Today as we were riding down the sidewalk, not going fast or doing anything strange, on a scooter only TWO MONTHS OLD, the brake just fell off again. I just spoke with the company and although they were very helpful and assured me that the brake could be easily replaced, they also told me that this is very likely to happen due to the way it's constructed. That's fine to say, but if a child is used to using one and trying to stop even at a regular speed as he/she approaches a street, the brake suddenly not being there is going to throw them."

I'll be honest, this board had the smoothest and longest cruise of all three boards. Yes, it was that great, but on a college budget, shelling out nearly $70 dollars for a board I occasionally used was hard to justify, especially when the Rimable board came second in the best ride, and I'll get to that in a second. The ride on the Rimable and High Bounce were close, but that doesn't matter when you weigh as much as I do or more, and have the board bend under you. The board could hold my weight as well as the Original Penny Board, and was only a tad-bit less smoother, but I forgot about it once I returned the Penny Board."
"Although some say it really resembles the ocean, it certainly stands out from the rest of the pennyboards out there, For a fraction of the price of a real pennyboard, you get a really nice looking board with a sturdy deck, good bearings and trucks. They were quick to replace the broken pennyboard that I received in return fora review at quickly and at no cost. I recommend picking up some speed washer and bones red bearings (total ~$15), it will make your board fly!"
