Parents say kids love the Razor Rip Rider 360, an unusual 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 use this trike for a long time. 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. Both boys and girls love the Razor Rip Rider 360, so many parents wish it came in more colors other than blue. 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 those who want a more traditional tricycle, we also found good reviews for the Schwinn Roadster Trike (*Est. $70).

The best reviews of the Razor Rip Rider 360 come from Babble.com and Britain's The Sun. Both sources evaluate the tricycle in a group test, and tester comments and impressions are included in the analysis. User reviews are another good source for information, especially at Amazon.com and Walmart.com. ConsumerReports.org has an older review.
