We got a little tikes trike for my one year old. The type with a handle, so we can push/steer but it adapts so he can ride it himself when he’s big enough. It's done so much mileage already!” (Recommended by LemonLemonLemon) Our verdict The Q Play Prime 6-in-1 Trike features six different modes, to grow with your child. Choose the mode which best suits your little one, on this kids’ trike – factoring in both their comfort and yours. DS had a balance bike at 2 but it wasn’t until he was 3 that he really got into it. He loved his scuttlebug at that age though.” (Recommended by Spudlet) Our verdict These are features rarely seen in budget models. The Kiddo Smart 4-in-1 isn’t a budget model but the price point is close enough to them that it appears as an amazing return on the extra for it.

Super convenabilă și o sursă sigură de distracție, această tricileta se dezvoltă de la stadiul de tricicletă ghidată de părinte, cu scaun rabatabil, până la stadiul unei triciclete independente pentru copii cu vârstă de până la 36 luni, facilitandu-le celor mici dezvoltarea capacităților de a pedala independent. If you’re looking for a trike that you can use instead of the buggy on trips to the park and out and about then the Q Play Rito Star is a great option. From as young as 10 months your child can sit in the comfy seat, put their feet up on the footrests, and enjoy the view while you have full control. We love that the handle on this trike is similar to those on a pushchair so you can comfortably use both hands to push and steer. One of the best features of this pushchair trike over some competitors is that it can be folded down for easy transport. This means that it can fold down and fit in the boot of your car. Moreover, at only 7.5kg, it rivals some of the leading buggies in portability.By three years old, you’re looking at more of a traditional type of trike, with handlebars and pedals, or possibly a balance bike style where they push themselves along with their feet on the ground. According to the NHS, babies and toddlers should be active throughout the day, every day. While indoor bouncers can be good, the best trikes offer an alternative way for a child to do that whilst having fun and gaining some independence. At two years plus, you’ll still want a bit of parental control but might be looking at a model where you can remove the handle bar to help them start to propel themselves under their own steam. Assembly – consider opting for a trike that requires little to no assembly so your child can get riding straight away. And for trikes that can be adapted as your child grows look at whether you need specific tools to make adjustments or if they’re easy to do on-the-go.

From 12 months to around 2 years, look for a model that has a parent control bar and good straps and safety belt so your child can’t fall out of the trike if you go over a bump. Side bars should also enclose them a bit so that they feel secure. They don’t ‘need’ pedals at this stage but will soon be wanting to learn to use them - look out for footrests instead. However, while balance bikes teach kids how to balance, trikes help them to master pedalling without ever having to worry about balance, and are a great option for use indoors as well as out. How to choose the best trike We highly recommend this tricycle for those who are undecided between getting a tricycle and a balance bike, and want something that will last a long time. This gives you the best of both worlds, giving your toddler the chance to practice pedalling and to work on their balance and stability before eventually moving on to a 2-wheel pedal bike.A trike is perfect for a one year old! They are just developing their fine motor skills and the freedom that a trike brings can really help to promote their independence.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user NewBabyToys) Our verdict

smarTrike are definite leaders in this market and are constantly innovating to bring parents what the want and need. They have now upgraded their leading 4-in-1 tricycle (which my kids loved, but sadly that model is no longer available), combining desirable features of both tricycles and pushchair. The smarTrike STR3 could easily function as a buggy, which will help to justify its higher price tag. Apart from strollers and baby carriers, Mothercare also features other babycare accessories from Mimosa such as reversible baby swaddles and stroller attachments.

The overall quality of the trike can be easily seen and felt and although it’s not strictly cheap it is nevertheless one of the best value you’re ever likely to find. Top marks from us.The Doona is a great trike to take your child from first wheels to a proper bike. You start with it in Parent Mode from 10-18 months with sides and a canopy to keep your child safe and protect them from the elements. From 18 to 24 months you use it in Push Mode where the sides come off but the parent control bar remains and your child’s feet go on the foot rest. Pedals are added for Tricycle Mode from 24-30 months and then the control bar comes off and they’re off on their own in Bike Mode from 30-36 months.
