Radio Flyer 79 Review by Grandpa 60
What a way to fly around the back yard for my little 5 year old grandson. This big wheel will grow with him and will give years of use. A Great gift for a little boy !
Radio Flyer 79 Review by Derick R. Peterson (Rochester, NY)
I have very fond memories of my own Big Wheel from decades ago, so even though I've already purchased both a trike and a bike for my son, I really wanted to find him the best Big Wheel on the market for skidding down the asphalt. The reviews clearly pointed to this one, so I picked it up when my son was 3yo. Assembly was OK, though it could've been easier, and the white plastic "rims" seem unnecessary and don't stay securely snapped into their grooves too well. That's no big deal, but the safety flag broke in no time, so it won't stay attached to the vehicle for long. Again, it's not absolutely needed, but it's poorly engineered to the point where you might as well not bother. Now the worst thing when I first bought it was that my 3yo son couldn't really reach the pedals well enough to pedal it at age 3, even with the seat in the closest position. And he's not short, as he was above the 95th percentile in height when he was born and is still median height or above. Maybe he has short legs and a long torso, but in any case this Big Wheel had to wait. Now that he's 4yo, though, he enjoys careening down the side of the road by our house, with me running to catch up! So the fun has finally kicked in, and I don't think he'll outgrow this for a while. I didn't try any of the cheaper options, so I can't say with certainty that this pricier one is worth it; but other reviewers seem to think so, and I can say that I don't think you'll be disappointed with this product, except perhaps the minor issues I noted above.
Radio Flyer 79 Review by ADarner
We purchased this as a 4-year old birthday present for our youngest son. When our oldest son turned 4, we had bought him what claimed to be the "original brand" Big Wheel from Walmart. It lasted roughly one month. Unlike the big wheels from my husband and my childhood, these new "original" big wheels are far from durable. I can remember watching my little brother run his big wheel into the garage door over and over again (until my father would storm out of the house and put the big wheel in "time out" for the day). Sadly by only riding his big wheel up and down the sidewalk, my oldest son had a pedal fall off. My husband fixed that only to have one of the wheels in the back split right in two.
So you can imagine the research I did before spending money once again on a big wheel. We wanted our youngest son to have something fun he could ride, but we wanted it to last for at least a summer. Plus we wanted to keep in mind that our youngest son does not do anything half-way. If he had a big wheel, he was going to RIDE that big wheel. Thanks to reading many Amazon reviews, we settled on the Radio Flyer brand, and I am so pleased that we did.
The important break-down:
ASSEMBLY: Fairly simple. At least for me since I stood and watched my husband. Since no tools were thrown and it was completed in a reasonable amount of time, I would say easy to do.
KID HAPPINESS LEVEL: Very high to extreme. This has become the favorite outside toy, and he loves riding it while his older brother rides his bike or scooter. We should easily get another year or two before it is outgrown. My son is on the smaller range for his age, but it is perfect for him now.
DURABILITY: My husband was quick to explain how to ride fast, turn the wheel, and slide. The Radio Flyer has taken many slides down our driveway without any damage. The only issue that we have found has to do with the cute little flag. It is not secured on the back very well, and it fell off despite being screwed on over and over again. We finally just removed it and use it as a way to mark the soccer goal area in our backyard.
I would highly recommend this brand of big wheel to everyone.
