This tricycle is very stable and solid. It is ideal for learning to pedal. Children have easy access to pedals as they are in the middle (and not before as most plastic tricycles on which it is impossible to bike). The belt is reassuring at first. You can easily adjust the seat height with a wrench. The cane is convenient because it allows the child to grow before he can pedal alone or in relay. It can be removed if necessary. Finally, the small bucket in the back is plastic but resists for now.
