Many parents said so: 17 of 22 who described assembly called it hard or confusing, and just 5 of 22 found it quick and easy.

**Should my child wear a helmet on a tricycle?**

Put a helmet on your child every ride. The parents here talked about putting the trike together, so their reviews can't tell you how a trike rides.

**How do I know if a tricycle fits my child?**

Follow the age, height and weight limits on the box before you buy. What parents said here is about assembly, so it can't tell you whether a trike suits your child's size.
