Kettler Kettrike

Dora Trike Review

This is one of the most popular trike’s out there today, nevertheless it does have it’s faults, most of which have actually nothing to do with the trike when it’s being used, but lie in it’s actual construction. The trike is a very sturdy one, and comes with a lot of parts which need to be assembled. One negative is that the seatbelt as an optional extra, not something you’d actually want to lose out on taking into consideration the price you’re spending money on the trike to start with. As there are a lot of parts to assemble, you’d hope that the instructions would make life simple, but unfortunately not. The instructions are pretty impossible to decipher due to them not actually having words, and only images of what you should do at each step, and even then, there not so clear. If you are an expert at assembly by following instruction sheets, you may not have too many issues, but to other’s I’d recommend to either get the trike pre-built if possible, or if you are intending to go it alone, be sure you have two or three hours spare. After the trike is up and running though, it’s basically smooth sailing. The very first thing you’ll notice is the sturdiness and the stability of the Navigator and also it’s great colours. Your youngster will have a difficult job if there looking to topple this over. The 3 in 1 freewheel is what makes this trike stand out, and it also includes a parent handle, rear wheel steering and the ability to lock the front steering and/or real wheels turning, which is great as it stops you needing to bend over , although it may be a bit tricky at times. Whilst the parent’s in the driving seat, your kid can sit back and relax as the front wheel foot pedals are lockable, so that they won’t turn as the child’s being pushed along.

A handful of negatives concerning the pedals though is that they don’t seem to have that much grip to them, so your child might find there feet slipping of them, which might lead to frustration especially if there trying to learn to pedal. The The Kettler Kettrike Happy Navigator Trike is very adjustable, allowing it to grow as your son or daughter does, and no tools are needed. You just turn a knob and release a hatch, which in turn allows you to alter the distance between the seat and the pedals. Obviously a great feature if there is more than one kid in the household, or when they have a pal over to visit. The trike also includes a bell, which I’m sure will provide your kid with entertainment purely on it’s own, but it also has a basket which can be used by the child to store toys, or even to collect leaves in The trike does include plastic tires, which might not be something you’d expect at this price, but I’ve found they do still work fine on gravel, grass and concrete. Overall, this trike is highly recommended and I believe it to be excellent value for money. It’s well-built, will withstand whatever your child can throw at it, literally , and I’m sure your little one is likely to make great use of it over the years, and I’m sure that it’ll still look new then as well
