ABSTRACT:
A child's tricycle includes a slider (17) and a locking member (30) engageable by the slider at one end of the path of travel of the slider in order to selectively inhibit the turning movement relative to a vehicle body (3) of a handle assembly (6) holding a front wheel (4). The slider is slidably held by a guide member (11) which is provided on one of the elements, the vehicle body and the handle assembly, while the locking member is provided on the other element. The tricycle also includes a spring (25) for urging the slider to fit in the locking member and an engaging structure (12, 20) for holding the slider against the force of the spring at a position where it does not fit in the locking member. When the turning movement of the handle assembly is inhibited, the direction of the front wheel relative to the vehicle body is fixed, which means that when the tricycle is pushed from behind, the direction of travel of the tricycle is fixed, so that the tricycle can be easily pushed forward.
