Sweet E came for 10 full days in the summer. We dubbed those days Camp Choochie and G-Daddy 2016!

Sweet E has a pedal-free balance bike, but he hadn’t tried a trike until this summer. Within a few minutes, he learned how to pedal and maneuver like a BOSS.
The Good:
Sweet E was able to get the trike moving on any surface that had a bit of grip. Driveways and berber carpet are perfect!
He LOVED the sounds (motor revving and others) and lights that he could summon with a push of a button.
Spider-Man is where it’s at, yo!
Easy to store
Sturdy construction
Comfy seat
Fun storage bucket in back that E used for his Hot Wheels.
The Meh:
Hard to impossible to use on slick surfaces.
The games included are a little confusing for a toddler.
Sweet E was able to pull some of the stickers off easily.
Final Thoughts:
I wouldn’t pay full retail for this trike; the price seems steep. (Do most trikes run in the $80 range these days?!) We were able to buy at a discount and we didn’t regret the purchase. E had a great time pedaling around, pushing the buttons and generally marveling at his Spider-Man trike.
If you’re in the market for a beginner’s trike, I hope this review helps.
Happy Triking!
