I was so excited to read the great reviews on this trike when we bought it for my 2 year old son. I researched trikes for weeks before deciding on this one. Now I'm only wishing my husband had saved the box so we could return it. Basically we're just taking the loss on the money paid and buying a different brand entirely.The construction is TERRIBLE, the seat doesn't tighten and just falls to the side no matter what you do, and if anything at all even slightly touches the metal, the paint chips right off. We are extremely disappointed - as is our son who can't even ride his new trike because the seat's so completely unsafe.
