Does the trice make "ticking" sound when it is pushed by parent and the front wheel is locked?

I have never heard a ticking sound when pushing my grandson. In any case, if the front wheel is locked, it wouldn't be able to move forward, would it? So the answer is 'no'.

Sorry, I can't help you. I bought the trike for my great-grand-daughter's third birthday and she has never had a problem with it. P.s. she absolutely loved it - forgoing all other gifts and headed directly over to it and started peddling away. It was pink of course

Not as noisy as the car, but sounds like plastic wheels on pavement. Also, if their feet are on the pedals, it makes a clicking sound if they aren't pedaling. None of this detracts from our enjoyment of the bike.

Where I did have this show up was that standing on the peddles had, over time, actually pulled on the pedal where it screws into the crank, so that it was out of line. I had to completely remove the pedal, and then slowly and gradually work it back in straight (had to essentially re-bore the stripped portions of the threading). Once I did this, the clicking went away.

I have not noticed that on mine. The locking wheel might wear paint through normal use, but what you describes sounds like something different.

Definitely makes a clicking sound when you press the buttons. Also a bit of a different clicking noise when you scroll with the center wheel.

Nope - it is ratcheting when you rotate backwards, but the wheel wouldn't rotate backward. Only forward ride.

A very slight ticking/grinding noise, barely audible. Winding it up there is a fairly loud grinding noise but not when it is in use.

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours also not make that sound in one direction?

In our experience the free wheel is only for forward motion. when you back pedal it applies the brakes. This has had some interesting consequences for the second child in the back seat on ours which is built out as a tandem bike. A frustrated toddler in the front seat can lock up the brakes suddenly when they dont want to go back into the driveway home :)

We just recently purchased one and it also ticked. I took it apart and put the wheel on the opposite way. Even though the sticker clearly said the other opposite. It doesn't click, but the pedals won't stop moving. If it's not one thing, it's another.

No, unfortunately not. It sits low enough though to allow for the child to push the bike with his or her feet though until they learn to peddle. It's an awesome little tricycle though. I wish I had one this nice when I was a kid... Best of luck with what ever bike you decide on.

It makes noises when the little guy rides it and feeds it. Also, they have a great warranty. If anything breaks or stops working, they will replace it. We've had it going on 3 years now. He jumped on three times this weekend, and I was pleased that it did exactly what he expected it to!

We haven't had our child in it yet but our front wheels moved when we were playing with it. Maybe double check your rods in the front end.

There is a lock and unlock lever on the front tire play around with it. The one I have is working fine.

I had the same issue a few weeks after using it. With mine, it was a small gap between the arm and the wheel on the axle in back. I tied a small piece of string around the gap on the axle, sort of a washer, and it stopped the clicking sound.

Hi Brett,There is a cog mechanism, when pushed in, that locks so the child can pedal. If you pull it out, it spins freely so you push the child around in a "stroller-like" fashion.
