The best "basic" trike out there!
By My 3 Sons
This is actually the second Kettler Trike we've bought (Have a 3.5 year old and twins that are 20 months). We have an Air Happy as well (see my review on that).Pros - Very high quality, solid, looks great, rolls great, steers great, peddles great, very adjustable (seat & frame), steering lock, nice seat, parental push bar, etc. For those looking for a "basic" high quality tricycle that'll last forever without a lot of bells & whistles, this is it (although, speaking of bells, I highly recommend picking up the Kettler red bell... best $5 you'll ever spend!)Cons - None. But a few things to consider on options that other Kettler models (more expensive) offer -(1) If you want to take your kids on walks with this bike (& not have them peddling the whole time or dragging their feet while you push), it doesn't have auto freewheel. Amazon might say it has it - but it doesn't. If you want / need this, look at one of the other (more expensive) Kettler models. The flip side is the auto freewheel makes it more difficult to learn how to peddle when that time comes for your child (see my review on the Kettler Air Happy - which is the other model we own).(2) Also, again if you want to take your kids on walks with it, it doesn't have the rear parental steering mechanism (that the "navigator" models have). But, I've pushed my kid around for miles on his Air Happy (which also doesn't have the rear steering) & never thought I needed this option. Just ask him to turn the trike, or lock the steering & you can easily turn it yourself by slightly pushing down on the pushbar & lifting the front wheel off the ground.(3) Doesn't have air tires. We have these on our Air Happy.. and they are a little nicer - but the "max tread" tires on the Oceana are very nice as well - durable / high quality "rubber like" plastic w/ grip that roll along very well. If the trike is going to be used primarily on hard surfaces (concrete, wood, tile, etc)... the tires will be perfect.In summary - If you just want a trike for your kid to learn how to peddle around on & enjoy for a few years - get this one. It's great for riding & will last forever. Paying more for other Kettler models may get you features you either don't need, or in some cases don't WANT. Our Air Happy is a great bike & the kids love it (once they master the auto free wheel peddling thing), but if I could only buy / pick one - I'd take the Oceana for $40 less (& throw the kid in a stroller or wagon if I wanted to take them for a walk)

By R. Wolfe
This tricycle is first class all the way. I put it together very quickly and let me tell you this thing is built solid. It's German made and that clearly shows because this is built like a tank. Its like comparing a Mercedes/BMW to a US made car (unfortunately that's still the case). Nothing feels cheap on it. The frame is powder coated solid steel. Everything fits like it should and is solid. My 23 month old was hovering around me like a bumble bee waiting for me to install the seat once I did he got right on. He hasn't mastered the pedaling yet (it's been just a few days) but he loves it. Let me tell you one thing you can't beat Amazon's price for this. I bought the trike, the seat belt and the Kettler red bell that everyone raves about for far less (40%) than my local bike store wanted just for the bike.As far as features are concerned you have a parent steering pole that clicks in behind the seat and allows you to essentially dictate where your child can go. You do this by locking the front wheel from turning by moving a the mechanism on the front of the frame that either allows the wheels to turn up to 45 degrees or locks it into a straight line. It's easy to change since you slide the switch up or down on the front of the frame. The seat is high back seat and you can adjust how close it is and you can also adjust the frame closer or further apart. The wheels are rubber like and wide which gives it very good stability and along with the 45 degree max turn radius you don't have to worry about your toddler toppling over. You can also buy a tandem seat as well which the frame is built to accommodate and allows to young ones to ride together. Finally for first time riders this does not have the feature that allows them to coast and the pedals won't move. Frankly you don't want that for a first time trike as this will definitely pro-long the child's understanding that pedaling is how you move it.Bottome line- this is the best trike you can get and has all the features you would want for a first time rider. It's safe, its built like a tank and will last for years.

By CA Cook
We have a Kettler Oceana and two different Radio Flyer trikes. We have twins. They fight over who gets the Kettler. So I'm going to buy a second one despite the fact that I already have three trikes for only two kids.The Kettler is just built so much better, there is no comparison. One of our Radio Flyer's is the Deluxe Steer & Stroll. It's a bear to push, a bear to turn (for the parent using the push bar *or* the child using the handlebars), and is hard for my child (2.5 y.o.) to pedal. The construction quality is much poorer as well. We also have a smaller Radio Flyer. My daughter always tips that one over when she tries to turn, so I'm going to get rid of it -- it's a hazard!Get the Kettler -- it's sturdy, rides and steers smoothly, and is very easy for me to push. I don't miss the parent navigation feature at all, I am able to turn it fine by "popping a wheelie" as a prior reviewer put it, and turning the trike in the direction I want. Assembly was not 100% intuitive, but we managed.
