is this a good deal? i'm interested in the one on the right (no pushbar) which the seller has confirmed is a kettler, and adjustable (kettler junior?) would it be big enough for my 39" 3yo?

Looks like an Oceana to me, but I'm not 100% sure. Just make sure when you see it, that it says Kettler and not Kiddi-O. It's not a Junior, because it has an S-frame.

Here's Maukilo.com's comparison chart for the various Kettle trikes, which helped me when I was scouring craigslist for Kettler deals!

I would suggest you nab this one before it goes!

thanks! after looking at the comp chart it does look like an oceana. great price point for a used kettler and am hoping it will complement a balance bike well. (now if i can only decide on a balance bike..)

just bumping up to let you all know i bought the kettler of CL... i'm almost positive it is an older oceana, since the seat is lower to the ground, it has the s-curve frame, and the seat is adjustable.

ds LOVES it! he's had such a hard time pedaling with other trikes (radio flyer) but jumped on and started pedaling right away. he still has to figure out steering, but that'll come in time! stalk your local craigslists, ladies! For $30, it was totally worth it!

Cool! We got our like-new Kettler Jumbo on CL for $50 earlier this year and like you, I was psyched with getting that deal!

Just as I'm getting TOTALLY confused and overwhelmed by all the different Kettlers, you ladies come to my rescue!
Thanks!
