I posted about this about two years ago and the other trike is no longer on the road. New trike (got it about a year ago) is now having the same issue as the last. I have a video on twitter that I just did to explain it better. After a new round of testing, the updated Radio Flyer 4-in-1 Stroll ’N Trike is our top pick, and the INFANS Kids Tricycle is our runner-up pick. Please note, a stock image is included to provide you with a visual snapshot of this item that we could not capture otherwise. We added a bell with that classic ring to the Meridian Deluxe for a fun, charming way to alert others on the road.
The IFANS trike’s canopy is made with thicker material than the Radio Flyer trike’s canopy. That means this one can protect your child for longer during a rainstorm or provide a bit better shade coverage. An open basket at the back can be used for carrying snacks, water bottles, and rocks (if you know, you know).
The Schwinn Meridian Tricycle is a popular choice among adult riders for its comfort, stability, and practical features. It has an aluminum frame which makes it lightweight yet durable, making it easy to navigate through different terrains. Look for a comfortable-fitting double spring saddle that delivers resiliency on the ride. A contoured, foam seat relieves pressure for a great riding experience.
But our top pick and runner-up pick simply felt safer and more durable, and they were easier to build. Angeles tricycles are common at many daycares, schools, children’s museums, and community centers. These simple, industrial-strength trikes are built to last—not just through two or three kids in a family, but schwinn cruiser through two or three hundred kids over many years. The Angeles MyRider Midi Tricycle—intended for kids ages 3 to 6 and rated to hold up to a whopping 70 pounds—is the midsize option in the company’s MyRider trike line. The MyRider Midi is easy and fun to ride, close to maintenance-free, and absolutely durable.
Jenni’s son loved riding this trike across pavement, dirt, and even rough concrete. Despite its rigid plastic wheels, the 4-in-1 Stroll ’N Trike could handle all of these surfaces; it moved especially schwinn mountain bike well on sidewalks, where it stayed stable during turns. Compared with other convertible trikes we tested, like the smarTrike and the Joovy, this one had a more-effective handlebar and sturdier wheels.
