My son sliced his pinky finger open on the bell's metal edge, practically butterfly-ing the whole pad of his finger off. We ended up in the ER where they had to glue his finger back together (stitches wouldn't work because the cut was in the crease of his finger).If you buy this trike, consider removing the bell. When I ran my finger over the metal edge of the bell, it didn't seem that sharp to me, but little ones' skin is not so tough and it sliced through his finger like it was butter.
