Amazon.com Product Description
Let little Natalie go to town with the Kettrike Blossom tricycle from Kettler. Sporting a high-carbon steel frame with a powder-coated polyester finish, the trike holds up to heavy use--a must for young children still learning the riding ropes. Even better, the frame offers four adjustable size settings with a telescoping frame and one-bolt release, so it can grow right along with your child (within reason, of course). And thanks to the four-position high-back seat--which is contoured to ensure an optimum posture--your child will ride in comfort. Additional details include durable MaxXtread tires and a plastic basket in the back for hauling along toys or books. The Blossom, which requires minimal assembly, is backed by a three-year residential warranty.

 best overall trike October 27, 2008
Durable, solid construction and parts. Love how adjustible it is. My daughter is 2 (50th percentile) and it fits her perfectly. She doesn't have the hang of pedalling yet but likes us to push her around w/ the push bar.
It could be a little tricky to put together but the other reviews w/ directions were helpful to me. #1 Sort all the hardware first as there are many different screws, etc. #2 look at directions carefully - they are specific enough if you pay attention to the details (i.e. the front wheel cover has an arrow pointing to the front but it's on the underside of the cover). #3 Tighten all of the screws very tight, you won't strip the screws like Ikea stuff ;)
 Trike is great - pity about the screws January 11, 2007

We bought this as a Christmas gift for our 2.5yo daughter, who had told Santa he HAD to get her a pink trike. She loved it, and the pink was deemed to be the right one, which was good.
We loved the fact that the adjustable frame means it should last our ( very tall) girl for ages - she's only on the second setting, despite being as tall as the average 4yo.
Fortunately, we decided to assemble the trike well in advance of Christmas, as the screws that hold the seat in place were so badly burred that they couldn't be used. Two thumbs up to the Kettler spare parts division, who sent an emergency express package with replacements so that Santa could come through on the day.
Apart from that issue, the assembly was ok but not great, and the instructions could have been clearer ( and we're both engineers so we're quite familiar with tools and building things!)
we love this tricycle May 29, 2006

I bought this for my 3 year old daughter 3 months ago and we love it. I like the sensible safety features and sturdy workmanship. She likes the bucket in back, lively colors and comfortable seat. It is missing some features the other Kettler trikes have, but this one is available for half the cost of the more expensive Kettlers.
It has the 45 degree turn restriction which helps prevent tipping over (As with any trike some spills can happen over months & years of active use - please use helmets!). It is adjustable for rider size and is fairly easy to assemble despite slightly sloppy assembly instructions. It doesn't have a bell, but my daughter enjoyed customizing her bike with a bell of her own choice (an extra $6 at a local bike shop). The trike is sturdy but not too heavy like many trikes can be. It "goes off road" on bare earth under the spruce trees in our yard, but we got it mostly for sidewalk use - where it does well. My only other minor quibble is that the plastic tires skid on some dry smooth surfaces.
I think any child would be delighted with this tricycle.
