You can find this particular tricycle sold under many different names. Here it is Grip. At Tractor Supply stores it is sold as Country Kids 10 inch Tricycle. On Ebay you see sold as Western Express. It's all the same bike made by an oriental company but sold by different companies.
But that doesn't really matter. What does matter is that it is a great tricycle for about $50. It is all steel, not a bit of plastic on this thing. Rubber tires. Nice large seat. Decent hardware comes with it to assemble, but you could always use better nuts and bolts if you really wanted to...it's all standard sizing. What you normally get for $50 is a mostly plastic piece of junk. With this trike, you actually get a well-made metal toy that will last for a long time.
Let me point out one thing. It says ages 3-8 on the package. My three year old can't ride it. On the highest setting, closest to the pedals he still can't reach. My four year can ride it pretty well, but it's still somewhat large for him. They love, however, that there is a little bar across the back that makes up the "rear axle" that they can stand on so one kid can drive and one can ride along in standing position. The tires on this thing are huge, especially the front tire. I haven't owned it long enough to tell how the tires will hold up over time, but they seem to be on par with just about all the other inflatable tire-type toys out there, if not better.
Easy to assemble out of box. Sturdy. Won't easily tip over. Definitely large and rugged enough if you live in the country or need an "off road" trike. I got it for $50, so search around a bit if the price is higher than that.Get more detail about Grip All Terrain Tricycle.
