Tricycle for ages 5+
- Kids love it
- Easy to assemble
- Can do spins
- High weight limit
- Heavy
- Protective gear is a must
Kids love the Razor Rip Rider 360, a unique tricycle designed with one large front wheel and two caster wheels in the rear. The caster wheels can swivel in multiple directions, so kids are thrilled to do spins and drifts. Parents like the Razor Rip Rider 360 mainly because their kids love it, but they also say it's easy to assemble and a good value. The Razor Rip Rider 360 is designed for kids ages 5 and older, and a 160-pound weight limit means kids can be using this trike for a while. Some parents note that taller kids (around the age of 10) can hit their legs on the handlebars, but most reviewers say their younger kids fit fine. The tricycle has a steel frame, which explains the relatively hefty weight of 20 pounds. Overall, parents say the Razor Rip Rider 360 is a great buy, but make sure your child has the appropriate protective gear, because this trike goes fast. For children younger than 6, we also found good reviews for the Schwinn Roadster Trike (*Est. $66).
We found the best review of the Razor Rip Rider 360 in a free report from ConsumerReports.org. The editors test about a dozen summer toys with a group of children and ask the kids to pick their favorites. The trike also earns a Parents' Choice award.
