My daughter was playing on a Kiddieland/Disney Princess Trike. As she tried to get off, she tripped and impaled her face on the sharp castle protruding from the handlebars. She is left with a severe laceration and scar on her face directly above her lip. The Castle with sharp points has no place on a kids toy let alone a bike. After the incident she was rushed to the Emergency Room and underwent reconstructive surgery to close the wounds.

I bought the radio flyer fold2go tricycle for my granddaughter. Was looking for a tricycle that she could reach the peddles. The size is wonderful, unfortunately it is very unstable. She only has to turn the handlebars slightly and it tips over. She does not like to use this product for fear it will tip over on her. She will be 3 next month so has out grown this product but I wanted to pass this tricycle on to my grandnephew but am afraid to because of it tipping over. Just think others should be aware of how easily this tips over.

My 2.5 year old was riding his Roadmaster 10 inch duo deck tricycle down our slightly sloped, concrete paved sidewalk. He had been riding the same path for several weeks. Upon reaching the end of the street, he stopped and proceeded to turn the trike around. He turned the handle bars as he was standing over the seat. Upon rotating the handle bars, they pulled out and then the front wheel feel off. My son fell and hurt his knee. Although the injury he sustained was not serious, it could have been, had he been in motion riding down the sidewalk. I believe the bolt holding the handlebars to the frame & subsequent front wheel came loose during normal use. There is no hole or pin to keep the bolt from slipping.

The product is Radio Flyer Deluxe EZ Fold 4-in-1 Stroll 'N Trike, Red Tricycle, Toddler Bike. The model number is 448Z. I used this product with my son in the step one setting, which should allow me to push the trike while my toddler son merely sits in it. There is a design flaw with this product such that the child can overpower the parent's steering with the parent steering handle by the child pulling or pushing on the handlebars in front of them. This resulted in my child being able to overpower the parent steering handle while I was steering, and nearly resulted in him catapulting off the sidewalk and into the street. I believe there is a serious design flaw with this product that places children at risk.

My four-year old son was riding his "Radio Flyer Big Flyer Model 79" for several hours at a neighborhood party. The next morning he complained of a sore back and I notice bruising on his lower back. The bruising was caused by the design of the "Big Flyer". The design causes the child to lean back into the seat, but the seat back is too low and my son's back bent over the seat causing bruises.

My 2 and a half year old was riding his Doona Liki Trike S3 in tricycle mode as he turned the handle bar to turn right the tricycle flipped over. While the tricycle was flipping over he extended his arm to break the fall and ended up causing damage to his right arm. Went to the hospital for hyperextension of arm. There needs to be a safety feature to prevent the tricycle from flipping over.

I had bought my son a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Folding Tricycle made by Kiddieland from Toy's R us last year for his birthday. On July 24, 2011, my son went to get on the bike and were the seat is, there is a bar under the seat, well the bar had rusted so bad that the bar had broke away from the handlebars when my son sat on it. So now the bike is broke in half. My son is well below the recommended age and weight for the bike. My son could have been injured. Thank god my oldest son was there to catch him from falling on the ground. This bike poses a dangerous problem and it needs to be handled.

My daughter was sitting in her Minnie Mouse Big Wheel tricycle and stuck her hand in one of the holes behind the seat. There are 3 different settings to adjust the backrest of the seat and hers is the closest to the pedals. Behind that are 2 other holes on each side and she stuck her hand in one, all the way up to her wrist and it got stuck. We had to lay on the floor, squeeze her hand and pull from the top just to get her hand out. It took off the skin on each side of her hand and on top of it as well. They need to make covers for the holes not being used. Someone is going to really get hurt if this happens again. We were just lucky she didn't need to get it cut off.
