Side by Side Comparison of: The Original Big Wheel vs Razor

Grandson loves his new mode of transportation

Who doesn't love the big wheel. My kid rides this all over the house.

Recommend for all young kids. My 5 y/o loves to ride this. So do the other kids in the neighborhood.

I bought 2 big wheels for my kids and the instructions and assembly are easy for one person. If you are handy enough with a phillips head screwdriver and a hammer, these put together quickly. My twins 4 yrs love their bigwheels and with the adjustable seat-back, means they can use them for awhile. I have found an outlet for a lot of their energy!

I purchased 3 big wheels for my grandkids to ride when they come over. After putting them together I was worried my 7 year old grandchild was too big but it worked great for her! Very happy with the big wheels and my grandkids love them.

Bought this for my Grandsons 3rd birthday and he absolutely loved it. I love the colors of this big wheel, it was perfect to transform into a spiderman big wheel with all the spiderman stickers I bought and applied to it. One happy little Birthday Boy!!

A little difficulty putting together otherwise seems to work well

Great product front wheel goes together with a little give in it

A big hit with my grandson.

cool but would love more if it had a small storage compartment

I now feel complete as a father, seeing my 2 year old riding around on this historic vehicle.The only reason I didn't give it the full five stars is because the steering has a lot of "slop" in it, the handlebars move quite a bit before the front wheel actually changes direction.

Just like I remembered it from my child hood. My daughter is turning 2 at the end of this month, she is pretty tall, however is not yet able to reach the pedals. I would have given 5 stars, but the seat pulls out too easily. That is my only gripe.

Just like 1974 but priced like 2020.

Kids love it and play with it for hours. I did give 3 stars because it is super noisy when you turn the steering wheel. It sounds like a very loud trumpet hahahaha I always know where my kid is!!

I'm giving a 4 star only because it doesn't seem as well made as I remember. My son does love it but the handle bars seem loose even though I have them as tight as they will go. The molded plastic still has some sharp edges that I had to trim so my son wouldn't hurt his hands. Not quite worth the money I paid. Seems more like a 30 dollar toy.

I got this as a Christmas gift for a family member. I'm a little disappointed with the quality. It seems like a cheap dollar-store knock off, but the price doesn't reflect that. I was expexting much higher quality, especially in the tires, for what i paid for. It's still cheaper than others on the market, but I'm not sure how long the tires will last. The back tires have no tread at all - just smooth plastic. The boy I bought it for has had some trouble pedaling it, and he's a tall 5 year old. I sure hope it lasts.

I bought this for my grandsons 4th birthday. He leaves it at our house because no place to ride at his house. He has only visited twice since he got it, on Aug. 20th, for his birthday. He rode it this past Sunday.... (3rd time it was used) and he came carrying the seat that broke off! Very weak & flimsy. Went on here to request a new seat, only to see that, since it was shipped 8/9/13 (although not even received & opened by him til 8/20/13) that my time was up.... It broke on Sun. 9/15/13.... Less than a month after it was opened! Would like to get a new seat for it, as this one must have been defected. If not, my review is down to 1/2 star! Thanks, Mickie

It shipped quickly. Wasn't too hard to put together (according to the spouse). It was a little difficult for our then 3.5 yr old (it was a Christmas gift from the guy in the red suit), to reach the pedals to drive through turns with the seat all the way forward, but he can reach them fine now..except the posts on the seat snapped off while he was riding it last week. No horsing around has happened with this trike all he does is sits and pedals. The bigger kids haven't touched it so Im guessing there is some issue with the plastic. Im going to contact Amazon and see if I can get a new seat back shipped to replace it. I hope its a simple process.

Plastic wheels provide absolutely no traction on concrete or grass. Glad it was cheap, will donate.

Cracked after using a few months. No longer safe to use.

This is NOT the original Big Wheel. Both my children had them when they were young, and this one for my grandson is not as big nor as sturdy as the ones they had. The material is cheap, it is cheaply put together, and smaller than the original. Don't try and pass this off in your advertising as the ORIGINAL BIG WHEEL. It is anything but...

Front tire won't stay on ground well. Have to lean forward over handlebars to get tire to grip ground.

I bought this for my 4 year old grandson and the front tire just spun on the tile and the front sidewalk

THIS ITEM IS DEFINATELY NOT AS THE ORIGINAL AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO ADVERTISE AS SUCH. IT IS A SMALLER AND A CHEAPLY BUILT RIPOFF OF THE ORIGINAL. IT REQUIRES TOTAL ASSEMBLY WHICH IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE PARTS DON'T FIT AND THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE MINIMAL AT BEST. MY KIDS GREW UP WITH THE ORIGINAL BIG WHEELS IN THE 70'S AND LOVED THEM SO I WAS ANXIOUS TO HAVE MY GRANDDAUGHTER EXPERIENCE THE FUN BUT THIS IS A REAL DISAPPOINTMENT.

I'm very disappointed in this product. It was not worth the price I paid ($55). The plastic is cheap, and there is little to no traction on the wheels. The front wheel slips constantly when my son rides it. I would like to return it, but can't take it apart. This is NOT even close to the original Big Wheel!

We bought this for our grandchildren to ride when they were at our house. They loved it until they started riding it and the "cap nuts" fell off the very first time!! Talk about disappointed kidsos!! Retailers don't carry the cap nuts you must order them for $3.50 and pay $20 to have them shipped! Ridiculous!!

This was actually kind of hard to assemble. I had to get out a drill and drill holes in one of the parts where I was supposed to be able to use a screw. Also, it's really cheaply made. The pedals won't stay on it. Very disappointing product for the price.

This is a nightmare to assemble. Seriously, an exercise in frustration. Start with lots of time and patience and expect to get very angry. This is one of those times I would pay more for a pre-assembled model. My son hasn't even seen it yet and I hate it. And yes, it seems to be as cheap as everyone says it is. I don't expect it to last long. Definitely not like the big wheel I remember as a kid. It's pretty disappointing.

Sorry. Not the original Big Wheel. I had one, so did my brother. Material is totally different and causes a traction problem that is fine for spin outs but not for a five year old who needs to pedal to the garage when playtime is over. You know that feeling when you see parts of a toy that just don't look that sturdy and well constructed? That describes how I felt pulling everything out of the box. Big disappointment to my lil' racer in training :( Not Amazon's fault. Manufacturer fail. Advice: Hold on to those great memories of the awesome Big Wheel some of us remember and keep looking for something fun :)

After ordering the Big Wheel from amazon I read the reviews, I then decided to call All in Toy's and ask them about there product, Original Big Wheel 16 Inch Tricycle, after talking to them I was told the original company went out of bussiness about 2 years ago and another company bought the patent rights to this product. I asked if the product was the same, and was told the it was the one with the hand brake and spoked front wheel. it is not the same as the picture shown in Amazon, so I cancelled the order. Amazon needs to conferm a sellers product and conferm if it truly is an original product. Disapointed.............
