The key point of this tricycle was to buy that there are no pure plastic tires. On the one hand because of its durability and also because of the noise. The tires are coated with a rubber casing, so that it actually moves quietly and you can use it sometimes in the apartment. And now after a few months of course you see signs of wear, but the tires are still ok and do not disintegrate as some pure plastic tires. It has a steering aid, which is very helpful to the small Easy Rider to keep you on track. Leiert over time but from something. Which sometimes the child and father leads wild left and right steering and counter steering. But there has front and rear small pockets where space for cookies and milk is to save the situation ^^ We have been satisfied and hope that it keeps for a long time. For the price it should hold long enough until it is too large for three bicycles. The sun protection is useless and rather a screening on the child. Once assembled, it is now in the corner.
