I purchased this item for my grandson , on Christmas.  when his brother saw it, he wanted one.  Lets face it, the Trike is amazing.  Its strudy, all steel, with real crome.  And to make it even better, it has streamers and a bell.  Yes the bell is metal.  I thought they stopped making good quality bikes for toddlers, but i found a gem.  You won't be disappointed.  By the way, we did get my other grandson one.  Now they have matching Radio Flyers..
