My son received this as a gift when he was 13 months old, and he immediately loved it. He had no problems figuring out how to maneuver it around. Here are some of the things that I love about this toy:
The front wheels are wider than the back wheels. I think this makes it more stable. Also, the back wheels never get stuck in tight places... if the front wheels get through a spot, the rest of the trike will also fit. (I appreciate this even more, now that he rides a regular trike and sometimes gets the back wheels stuck when going around our kitchen island.)
The trike doesn't light up, make noise, or take batteries. Yes, there is a little bell, but my son almost never rings it.
After 2 years of almost constant use, the trike is still sturdy and looks almost new.
My son received a regular trike when he turned two, but he still rides this little trike (along with his bigger trike) almost every day. It has definitely been one of his favorite toys.
