Durable and Safe Tricycles For Children
Radio Flyer company is mostly known for producing the beautiful red wagon for many generations. It does have Radio Flyer Bikes that are geared toward young riders and produces tricycles and smaller bikes with training wheels to little kids every where. What people do not know about this company is that it has a long history and have produced other things that you would never expect a company that makes children’s wagons and bikes to do.
Antonio Pasin immigrated from Venice Italy to Chicago and in 1917 he made wagons in order to save money to open a wood shop. Soon he had so many orders it took over his business and by 1930 his wagons were owned by many children and adults alike. In the next decade when the war broke out production ceased and war supplies were made from the metal that would go into the wagons. The company made blitz cans for about three years. The familiar red wagon was produced in the nineteen fifties and swiftly came home to almost every kid in America.
Even today Radio Flyer prides itself on using the best materials for their products and they make them safe for the children that use them. These products are more expensive than plastic products but every child in the family will have a turn with them. It is not unusual to see wagons and bikes that have been handed down from father to son in many cases.
Bikes used to come only in the familiar red and white and had streamers on the handlebars and a little bell. All two wheel bikes for young children still come with training wheels made specifically for that bike so they are totally and completely safe. They will not break off or come loose and only come off when your child is ready for them to come off. Each bike is made from durable steel and have handlebars and fenders made of shiny chrome.
The bikes may look a little different than the did when first made. Today they still have that bell so you can get out of the way fast. However they are no longer just red and white. The bikes of today come in bright color combinations like red, yellow and blue or for girls they come in light, medium and dark pink.
Fold 2 Go is one of the more popular trike models. It folds up to store in tiny spots or to be transported from one place to the other. It latches shut so there is no chance of opening when it needs to be folded and also stays open safely. There is a carrying handle making it easy to tote around on vacations or visits to relatives houses and it weights about 25 pounds. The frame of the trike is red and the seat is a bright blue. On the back between the wheels is a foot guard for passengers and it is bright yellow. This bike also is made in the pink style for girls. There are also other trikes in popular styles. One has the over sized front wheel and smaller back ones. Instead of plastic it is made of steel and will last for a very long time no mater how hard the child rides it. There are also bikes that double as strollers. These bikes have long handles for parents to hold on to but can still be propelled by petals operated by kids.
Two wheeler bikes with training wheels are very popular. Two to three years olds will love the Grow ‘N Go model. The best thing about this bike is it grows with your child because it is adjustable. Kids that want something a little more interesting will love the Grow ‘N Go Lights and Sounds bike. It has turn signals and other lights that blink or go on and off and also plays music or sounds a horn. This bike is also adjustable with training wheels and requires AA size batteries. This bike also comes in pink or primary colors.
Radio Flyer bikes began in the nineteen seventies and they are still being made to day. There are tricycles and bicycles with training wheels and made for young children. Then there are 10 inch bikes for older kids about 4 to 6 years of age. They come in primary colors, shades of pink, and some models still come in that popular red and white theme. They are all made of durable steel and made with safety in mind. It should be noted that all Radio Flyer Bikes do not have brakes. You have to use your feet to stop them so if you have a kid that likes to go fast and stop fast you may have to keep buying shoes. These bikes are actually not for kids that ride fast and hard, but for a beginner they are the best around.
There’s nothing better for children than the incredible Radio Flyer Classic Lights and Sound Trike. This trike is one of the most unique and interactive Radio Flyer Bikes that you’ll find anywhere!
