Description / Abstract:
This standard covers the safety requirements for all tricycles
intended for use by children 8 years and under. While the addition
of a push handle does not by itself change the classification of a
product from a tricycle to a stroller (or other juvenile product),
there exist in the marketplace some hybrid products (i.e.,
tricycle/stroller combinations that have canopies, reclining seats,
and/or restraint systems, etc.) that are intended and marketed to
fulfill both functions. Such products may need to meet the
requirements of ASTM F833 (Standard Consumer Safety Performance
Specification for Carriages and Strollers) or other applicable
standards, in addition to those of this standard.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to establish nationally
recognized safety requirements for tricycles and to provide a basis
for common understanding among producers, distributors, and users
of these products.
