We bought this for our daughter's first Christmas (when she was only 13-months old). She couldn't ride it or do much with it, but we bought the Kettler seatbelt separately so we'd push her around the neighborhood on it and always had a blast. Now that she's two, she loves it even more and thinks it's great to cruise around the neighborhood or park.
We rarely bring a stroller with us anywhere, since she'd much rather ride on this when we're at an outdoor event, parade, or amusement park. And she loves that she can carry her own stuff in the little bag attached to the front and there's just enough room to perch a not-huge diaper bag in the back little "dump truck" area. We still use the detachable push-pole thingy just to keep her cruising the way we want, but she rides on her own now and I imagine this will remain popular well into the future.
It's lived outside for most of the past year and it's not faded or had any damage from the elements at all. Very sturdy and made to last. I anticipate we'll still have this for baby #2 (who isn't even on the way yet!) Great investment.

KETTLER Happy Plus Frog TricycleProduct Description: The Kettler Happy Plus Frog Tricycle is the best learning tricycle available and comes in a fun frog theme that will delight little riders. Kettler has been producing top quality wheel toys for kids for over 40 years, and the Kettler Happy Plus Frog Tricycle is no exception to the Kettler quality standards. The Happy Plus Frog Trike is designed to grow with your child, providing years of fun through multiple stages of development. Constructed with a high quality metal frame and sturdy molded plastic components, the Happy Plus Frog Trike is designed to last a lifetime.
The Frog Plus Trike has a four position quick adjust frame so that it can grow with your child or be used by multiple children. The parent operated chrome plated push bar allows kids to ride and enjoy the trike long before they learn to pedal, as young as 12-months old, or as soon as they can grip the handles. The push bar makes the trike a great stroller alternative, for eager and active one-year-olds who don't like being passive passengers. The Auto-Freewheel, automatic freewheeling system allows children to rest their feet on the pedals while their parents guide them with the push bar without the pedals moving. The push bar can be removed easily as soon as your child is ready to pedal on his own.
As your child grows he or she will be able to reach and operate the pedals, first with the guidance of adult helping with the push bar, and eventually on their own. Pedaling the trike helps kids build confidence and leg strength as they explore independently. Designed to be safe for young riders the Frog Plus trike has fat tires that provide excellent traction for all terrain riding and are super stable. Limited turn radius steering restricts the handlebars and front wheel from turning more than 45 degrees to the left or right, radically reducing the danger of tipping over. The child-operated dual wheel rear handbrake provides speed control and stopping power for additional safety and stability.
On the Happy Plus Frog Trike, the handlebar mounted storage bag provides a great way for kids to take supplies along. The rear-tipping bucket is a great tool for loading up with rocks, dirt, or other supplies, and is easy to remove and clean when necessary. The LED light on the front wheel provides great visibility and just as importantly is fun, and adds to the excitement of riding this remarkable tricycle. The Kettler Happy Plus Frog Tricycle is a multi-level toy that will last for years to come and provide your child with endless enjoyment.

My son has had this trike since last summer. It is a heavy, study bike that he rides every day. We have to keep it in the house all winter so he can ride around the house. It doesn't tip over easily (but it does tip over if my son is messing around). I put it together myself and it was pretty easy to assemble. I recommend this trike for bigger toddlers (age 2 and up) since it's pretty heavy and even at the most compact setting most kids under 2 won't be able to reach the pedals. My son is almost 3 and still doesn't pedal consistently because of the weight of the bike.
