Kettler Kettrike Air Happy Tricycle Review

Kettler Kettrike Air Happy TricycleOur family went to the local bike store and had the luxury to compare the Air Happy and the Happy Navigator models in person. We decided to go with the Air Happy for the following reasons:

It is more compact
It has a stand/foot-rest over the rear tires where a child may stand and push the bike.
It was actually easier to steer with the parents' pushbarwithout the Happy Navigator's special navigation system--especially in reverse.
A child may brake by pedaling backwards or using the hand brake.
The plastic clip which secured the rear bucket on the Happy Navigator appeared flimsy

We cannot comment on the assembly as the bike shop put it together for us and pumped up the tires, but overall, this is a great tricycle for our 18 month old. For her age, the specialist at the bicycle shop thought that she should wear a helmet, but perhaps not the seat belt as she is old enough to be developing her sense of balance. I initially really wanted the Happy Navigator to be the trike of choice because of its popularity and the assumption that because it's more expensive, it must be the more deluxe model, but in person, the Air Happy is simply a sturdier, better design.

Overall, a general comparison can be made between the Air Happy and the Happy Navigator in the same way that a BMW can be compared to a Mercedes. Both are beautiful and well designed, but the BMW (the Air Happy) is the sportier of the two in design, handling, and response.

Product Description:
Sporting a Quick-Adjust frame with telescoping multiple frame adjustments, the Kettrike Air Happy tricycle from Kettler starts small but can grow in small increments right along with your child (within reason, of course). The trike's Komfy-Ride air tires, meanwhile, grip tightly and maneuver responsively on any hard surface. Perhaps the coolest feature for parents, however, is the removable pushbar, which lets you steer your child down the street until he's ready to handle it himself. The pushbar coordinates with the Parental Control steering lock system, which locks the handlebars in place when you're using the pushbar, and the Auto-Freewheel option, which lets children rest their feet on the pedals. Also equipped with a safety powder-coated handbrake that allows the Air Happy to stop on a dime, the tricycle carries a three-year residential warranty.

Classic Flyer By Kettler Low Rider Tricycle Review

Classic Flyer By Kettler Low Rider TricycleIn general this is a good, solid tricycle for a two-year-old like ours. She still isn't able to pedal even with the seat in the forward-most position, so our experience is limited to pushing and controlling the bike using the included pushbar.

Pros:
- The trike is low enough for even our small 2-year-old to get on and off by herself and just barely reach the pedals, though she hasn't mastered actually pedaling yet. The height makes falling off it that much less of a danger, though she still wears her helmet.
- The pushbar makes helping your toddler along pretty easy and is adjustable for height, but it isn't perfect (see cons below).
- The included velcro-on backpack for the pushbar is a nice bonus. Our toddler loves to hop off the bike and drop a found treasure into it. It's also a good place to keep a child's jacket or whatever you might need.
- I couldn't comment on the pedaling difficulty since my child isn't yet up to pedaling herself, but it seems to be easy enough. For now she just keeps her feet on the pedals and the front wheel turns freely, though not smoothly at all times (see cons below).

Cons:
- The core frame and pushbar are metal, but at least 50% of components are plastic -- more than I'd expected on an $80 trike.
- The pushbar itself is solid and not likely to break under normal use, but its attachment to the bike is maintained by a tiny push-in button that leaves the bar very wobbly. This allows too much side-to-side and rotational movement to let you feel truly steady controlling the bike with a child on it. It does work, but could be improved.
- I've yet to figure out how to lock the steering wheel in place or even if this is in fact possible. Other models mention it as a feature, but maybe this one doesn't offer it. It would be very useful to me with a toddler who can't seem to avoid turning the wheel to the left or right at inopportune times while I'm pushing her.
- While the freewheel feature that allows a young child to keep her feet on the pedals while being pushed does work most of the time, it has an annoying tendency to engage halfway. This causes the pedals to bounce roughly as the front wheel turns, making it more of a chore for the child to keep her feet on the pedals. Pulling the trike backwards for a few feet usually solves the problem if only temporarily.

Cruzin Cooler 50-Series Coolagon Cooler Wagon/TrailerReceived cooler today 02/17/10 opened box and removed cooler, and it was covered in dirt and had no stickers on side like in photos on internet, also the handle had rust on it, the plug at the bottom of cooler leaked water bad . Almost seems like they sent me a return, or one that was used at the company party. I feel riped off for the $149. Order at your own risk.

Purple Plasmacar Review

Purple PlasmacarI bought a pair of these for 2.5 year olds.They figured them out quickly and love to play with them.And if parents weigh less than 200 pounds, buy extras so you can ride too. They are addictive.One warning, they do not run well on rough or soft flooring.Even vinyl flooring has too much resistance.Hardwood flooring is good, but once they are outside, the grit from the outside can hurt your flooring so make sure you keep the wheels clean if you use it indoors.I plan to try on a tennis court.Really well made and nearly indestructable.Can be ridden in tight space.You can turn on a dime (better than a dime) go backwards and just spin around in a circle.Really fun toy.

Kettler Kettrike Junior Tricycle Review

Kettler Kettrike Junior TricycleMy son has had this trike since last summer. It is a heavy, study bike that he rides every day. We have to keep it in the house all winter so he can ride around the house. It doesn't tip over easily (but it does tip over if my son is messing around). I put it together myself and it was pretty easy to assemble. I recommend this trike for bigger toddlers (age 2 and up) since it's pretty heavy and even at the most compact setting most kids under 2 won't be able to reach the pedals. My son is almost 3 and still doesn't pedal consistently because of the weight of the bike.

Product Description:
Let little Thomas go to town with the Kettrike Junior tricycle from Kettler. Sporting a high-carbon steel frame with a fade-resistant powder-coated polyester finish, the trike holds up to heavy use--a must for young children still learning the riding ropes. Even better, the frame offers four adjustable size settings with a telescoping frame and one-bolt release, so it can grow right along with your child (within reason, of course). And thanks to the four-position high-back seat--which is contoured to ensure an optimum posture--your child will ride in comfort. Additional details include durable MaxXtread tires and a plastic bucket in the back for hauling along toys or books. The Junior, which requires minimal assembly, is backed by a three-year residential warranty.
