Original Big Wheel Tricycle for Kids

The Big Wheel Tricycle was the first successful modern tricycle. It came out in the 1970's and even though the tricycle distributed today is not produced by the same manufacturer, the tricycle is a close reproduction of the original. The Big Wheel revolutionized the layout of tricycles for youngsters, being that it had an extremely big front wheel, which was solid so there have been no spokes for your own child to catch his little feet in. The Big Wheel trike was constructed very low-to the earth. The classic trike design is prone to tip over and poses substantially greater risk to little children. The Big Wheel tricycle also was tremendous fun because children quickly learned the trike could move pretty rapidly and would easily spin. Back in the day-it was really awesome viewing toddlers roaring around the house on these trikes

The first Big Wheel Tricycle was designed by the Louis Marx Firm, located in Erie, Pennsylvania and came out with their first trikes for kids in 1969. It was an immediate success. The consumer groups of the day adored it and stated that it was much safer than the models featured by competing brands, this gave the trike a large marketing edge. It really took your breath away when you noticed your kid tearing about with this thing. Children loved it. Now tricycles with features and improved designs which mimic the Original Big Wheel are produced by practically every major brand. Today's models are better built, safer, and more trustworthy than the original but everyone likes to see history repeating, notably in children's playthings, so even though the original Big Wheel tricycles are notably inferior to models created by other manufacturers, they still sell! I won't say whether you should or should not consider this trike, but I do remember my children having lots of fun with them so make up your-own thoughts!  If you would like to have a closer look or purchase an Original Big Wheel Tricycle for Kids just click on the link!
