Top 5 Trikes




Trikes are the natural first step for children once they have outgrown their pushchairs. With many versions coming with parent handles which allow you to stay in control and help when you child gets tired, and sturdy designs that make them safe for even the smallest children, you can’t go wrong picking up a trike for you toddler. Here are five of the best on the market!

Fisher-Price Rock, Roll n Ride Trike - ****

The perfect trike to grow with your child and help them to learn and develop as the trike transforms, the Rock, Roll n Ride Trike has three great stages to allow kids to develop at their own pace. The first stage of the trike is for it to become a rocker than really small children can enjoy safely. The trike can then be used as a normal trike but with a pushbar to keep parents happy and help kids to learn, and finally a fully independent trike once kids are comfortable and secure.

Kettler Kettrike Happy Navigator - ***

One of the best trikes for kids based purely on it’s fun look and features, the Kettrike Happy Navigator comes in a gorgeous primary colour scheme that will instantly appeal to children and features an easy tipping bucket to the back where they can keep their favourite toys for a day out, or for role playing games! This trike also comes with a pushbar to keep parents feeling secure as kids learn to ride.

Smart-Trike Recliner Stroller - ***

A super advanced trike which allows parents more control and acts just as much as a pushchair as a trike, the Recliner Stroller allows very small children somewhere safe and comfortable to sit back and relax when being pushed home after a long day, but can also be easily transformed into a trike they can use on their own, with additional seatbelts and safety features to ensure you always feel happy with your child taking control.

Triang Tricycle - ***

A fun and relaxed looking trike which is best for older children, this trike has a bucket seat for extra comfort and a bucket in the back for carrying favourite toys for the kids, or for parents to keep snacks and drinks in on long days out. The trike also comes with a removable pushbar handle so parents can take the lead when kids get tired. With larger wheels and wide handlebars, this is great practice for kids who are a little older and will be looking for their first bike soon.

Editor’s Choice - Smart-Trike Trike with Sun Roof - *****

Another very sturdy trike which is just as much for parents as little ones, this trike is made from solid metal and will last as long as you want it to. It can be used as a pushchair with a difference, with a seatbelt for your child, a sun roof and even an attached bag to keep your essentials, but still has the fun aspect of a child powered handlebar and pedals when they want to take over.

Feber Triciclo Ferrari Trike




For kids that are too young for a real bike, but old enough to have outgrown their pushchair, the Feber Triciclo Ferrari Trike offers parents a way to get kids from A-B, whilst still having fun and enjoying the ride, making for more enjoyable days out for both parents and children and ensuring kids learn some very valuable skills for the future.

When a child is very small they will get used to being pushed around in their pram and not having very much choice about where they go. As they get older and start to learn to crawl and walk, the novelty of this experience can be extremely exciting for them and lead to them wanting to take their own route everywhere! However, whilst they are very small and still learning to walk properly, kids can struggle to walk for longer distances without getting very tired. With their independent streak they will resent being put back in a pushchair, but if you really need to get from one place to another you don’t want to be slowed down by a grizzling, tired child. This is where the Feber Triciclo Ferrari Trike would come in.

Allowing kids the sensation of riding themselves around, and giving a fun alternative to a pushchair, the Feber Triciclo Ferrari Trike has a number of different features which will keep both parents and children happy. For parents there is the parent handle, which fixes securely onto the back and allows you to direct and push your child along whilst they hold onto the handlebars. The trike also has various safety features so you can be completely sure your child is safe and won’t be injured - from the padded, adjustable seat which will fit any child comfortably, to the secure harness which will still allow children to pedal and steer, but will keep them firmly in place no matter how fast they go. The folding footrest will also allow children to sit comfortably whilst being pushed along, so that they don’t have to worry about knocking their feet on the pedals.

For kids, the Feber Triciclo Ferrari Trike has a bright and visually appealing red colour, secure handlebars and pedals which will be easy to reach for children of any size as the seat is adjusted, making it really easy for children to pick up the art of riding their trike around from the first moment. The rubber banded wheels make it easy to ride the trike over any terrain and a bucket in the back of the trike means they can carry their favourite toys around with them, as well as drinks and snacks for any adventure! The Feber Triciclo Ferrari Trike is the perfect trike to grow with your child, teach them to be independent and give them access to exciting days out time and time again.

A guide to buying boys trikes



A trike is the perfect toy to introduce toddlers to the world of bikes and ride ons and help them to improve their balance and coordination. Nevertheless, deciding which one to buy your little boy can be a difficult and frustrating challenge. After all, there are so many different types of trikes available all over the country – in both stores and off of the internet.

Obviously this is good in one sense because it means that with so much choice there is bound to be something that suits your budget and your child’s taste. However, it can also make it a lot more difficult to decide which one to buy in the end, especially for those of us who are indecisive! But don’t worry; there are ways in which you can narrow down your search and this article reveal exactly what those ways are.

The first way in which you can scale down your search for boys trikes is via the consideration of price. Because there are so many different types of trikes available this also means that you can find a great diversification in price, which means that there is bound to be something to suit all budgets. Nevertheless, it is obviously important to search around on different websites in order to find the best prices.

Once the aspect of price has been considered it is then a good idea to consider the actual look of the trike as this is something which is very important to children. If you buy a trike which is dull and boring then your child won’t find it interesting and they won’t want to play with it. It is important to opt for something which is bright and vibrant. A lot of parents tend to opt for trikes which are themed, such as based on their little one’s favourite cartoon characters – this is also a great idea.


In addition to design and price it is also important to think about the size of trike. A lot of people underestimate the importance of buying a trike which is exactly the right size for their child. This is because more often than not parents think that buying their child a trike which is a little bit too big is a good option because they will grow into it. However, this is certainly not the case.

And finally, it is also crucial to factor in any features that come with the trike. This is something which is more often than not connected to the age of the toy. For instance, features which should be considered include the likes of; a parent handle, stabilisers and a safety belt.

To conclude, if the points in this article are considered then any parent should be able to find the perfect  trike for their little boy!

Girls Trikes



For little girls who are too old for a pushchair but still not quite ready to walk everywhere unaided, the next step is a trike.

Surprise your little on this Christmas with the Smoby Big Harry Ride On




Buying children Christmas presents who are aged between one and two years old can often be a very, very difficult challenge. Obviously it will be their first or second Christmas and it is a time where you will set the tone for years to come. You want it to be a special occasion (even if they don’t fully understand what is going on).

Nevertheless, what do you buy your little loved one? This is hard because your child will be growing constantly and thus it is likely that they will grow out of whatever you buy them in a short space of time. Furthermore, as children of that age don’t really understand the concept of Christmas yet, you will need to buy a present which instantly sparks off a positive reaction. Something which will get them excited.

The key to this is to buy something which is visually pleasing on your child’s eyes. It needs to be something which is simple so that they understand it but also something which is bright and exciting and will make them smile. Stay away from things which are in pale or boring colours and make sure you opt for something that does not look complex or confusing.

If you are at a loss regarding where to start then a great option is the Smoby Big Harry Ride On. This toy is perfect for any child aged 12 months or older. Big Harry is a white and black spotty dog. His basic yet striking features are guaranteed to appeal to any child. Not only this, but the handles and the wheels are a bright red in colour, adding further excitement to the image of the toy. This is certainly something that your child will tear the wrapping paper off on Christmas day and instantly beam with joy. Harry is bound to become your child’s new best friend!

Furthermore, whilst Harry will provide your child with a whole host of fun it will also provide you with peace of mind as it is manufactured to the highest safety levels. It features two big handles at the top of the bike, four stable wheels, a front and rear anti-tip feature and flat wheel guards. These features all aid a safe ride on experience and prevent accidents as much as possible.

And finally, do you want to know the best part yet? This toy is available for only £24.99. Thus, you don’t have to break the bank in order to put a smile on your kid’s face this Christmas. Buying toys can be an expensive prospect, and the low price tag of this toy is highly beneficial especially when you consider how quick children grow, and consequently outgrow their toys.

If you think your child would love a toy like this then perhaps it is time to welcome Harry to the family this Christmas!

Things to Look Out For In Kids Trikes



A really great gift for a child who has outgrown their pushchair but is still not old enough for their first bike is a trike. Trikes are great as they are easy to use and will give your child some exercise whilst at the same time allowing them to get used to being able to move themselves around, steer and pedal, preparing them for when they do start to use their first bike. Trikes are also a great mode of transport for small children, in between the pushchair and a bike, and whilst they are still just learning to move around on their own and are likely to get tired after a burst of activity.

When looking for the perfect kids trikes for your children, there are a few things you can look out for to ensure this trike is the right one for you and your child.

One of the most important elements in a trike for a younger child is a removable parent handle. Parent handles mean that when your child gets tired of pedalling or moving themselves around, you can then take control and move steer the trike yourself from behind. This means your child will still get to enjoy the experience of riding on their trike, but will make it easier for you to get them from one place to another if they get tired. It also means you can take the trike with you for days out or shopping trips and know you still have control over where they go so that you won’t have to worry about them getting in people’s way or your day being slowed down. A trike that allows freewheeling and complete parent control would be best, but make sure the parent handle is easy to remove so that when you get where you are going your child can head off on their own to practice their steering and pedalling!

For smaller children you may also want to look for a trike which has some kind of seatbelt or safety bar. Most trikes will be safe enough for children when they are riding around on their own as it involves paying attention to their bodies and knowing what they are doing, but again if they get tired and you need to take over you will want to know they are safe and unlikely to fall off of their trike, particularly if they fall asleep. It will also protect them when they are going at speed, perhaps down hills or slopes.

Finally, look for a trike which has a bucket or trailer attached so children can take their favourite toys, or drinks and snacks with them. It saves you having to carry things around and will also give children a feeling of a little more independence about what they do on their journey and with their playtime.

Best Kids Ride Ons



Kids ride ons are something a little bit different for children who want more than just a bike for outdoor play and riding around. A ride on is usually a replica of a car, bike or other form of transport used by adults, in a smaller form to make it easier and more accessible for kids. These ride ons can be powered in many different ways, they may have wheels that your child can pedal, may simply require your child to scoot along using their feet, or for the most exciting and up to date versions, they will be battery powered so your child can really experience ‘driving’ themselves around.

One of the best kids ride ons is the classic kid powered coupe, a red and yellow icon of the ride on world, having been around for 30 years and been one of the most popular kids toys since its inception, continuing through to today. One of the best things about the coupe is that it is sturdy and long lasting, meaning parents can be more sure that their child will get plenty of use out of it whilst they are small enough to enjoy it. Whilst newer ride ons may not have the longest life, the coupe is unlikely to break or fall apart and can keep generations of children happy as it is passed down from sibling to sibling. It is also incredibly safe, as your child can either move it along with their feet through the floor, or be pushed along by an adult using the parent handle.

A themed ride on which is perfect for children who are looking for something a bit different is the Thomas The Tank Engine ride on, a train-shaped ride on which is battery powered and can ride over tracks, concrete or gravel. The train is perfectly designed, looking exactly like Thomas and moves at around 2 miles per hour meaning parents need not worry about their children having an accident if left to their own devices.

For little girls who want something a bit more glamorous the pink 2 seater jeep will be great for two children to enjoy in the park, or riding around the home. If you have two small children it can stop any fights and mean they both get to enjoy the ride on at the same time, whilst it can be a great pleasure for little girls to be able to invite their best friend to come for a drive with them! It comes with a rechargeable battery so you can keep it topped up for when your child fancies going for a drive, and has simple and easy controls which will make it perfectly easy to use, for even the smallest children.

How To Get Your Child Started With Boys Trikes



Trikes are the perfect first step for kids who will soon want to learn to ride a bike, and they are also great for helping kids to develop motor skills and get more confident with moving around. A trike will usually be the next step after their pushchair so this is really the first time they will be able to move around independently on their own form of transport. Making sure your child is safe and learns well is critical, as it can be a huge step in their personal development.

First, choose a trike which is going to work well with your child at their age and size, as well as leaving you feeling comfortable letting them go off on their own as they learn to pedal and steer. There are a great number of boys trikes which look great and your child will be proud of, as well as having extra safety precautions so you can feel comfortable as a parent. Choose a trike which has extra security on the form of a proper seatbelt or safety bar, that won’t restrict your child as they pedal around, but will keep them firmly on if they speed up or go on rougher and less solid terrains. You could also pick a trike with a parent handle which can be used as they first get used to pedalling and steering. The parent handle will also come in handy on longer trips or days out, as your child will at first probably become quite tired after a little while pedalling, at which you will need to take over and won’t want to spend your whole day crouched over pushing your child along!

Get your child settled on the trike and teach them how to use the pedals and steer simultaneously. Perhaps take each task one at a time and push the trike along while they learn to use the handlebars and steer, and then take control of the handlebars whilst they pedal. Once your child has learned to do both they will have learned the first skill they need to use a real bike, and also have improved their motor skills.

For the first few times they go out on their trike, make sure you always have a hand on the trike or are at least close enough to take over if needs be, particularly on inclines or more difficult terrain. Children will want to experiment with different speeds and surfaces, but until they are really confident on the trike could fall off or find things too difficult at first, which can be quite frustrating.

Finally, make sure you pick up a comfortable and fun looking helmet which your child won’t mind wearing so that at first they are completely protected, at least until they get more confident or a little bigger.

Choosing the Best Kids Trikes



When searching for a trike to buy your toddler it can often be a difficult and confusing process. This is because there are so many different kids trikes on offer all over the UK and off of the internet. You can choose between different shaped trikes, different sizes and different styles. In order to narrow down your search there are a few things that you should look out for and consider before making your final purchase. This article will give you a helping hand by revealing what these points of consideration are.

First and foremost, you must obviously consider the price of the trike. As mentioned, there are lots of different types and styles of trikes available today. This means that there is also a great diversification when it comes to the price of the trikes available. This is great because it means that there is something to suit all budgets. It is always a good idea to search online on order to find the cheapest deals available.

Aside from price one also needs to consider the age of their child. This is because the age of your child will obviously have a direct impact on the size of the trike that is bought. A lot of people make the mistake of buying a trike which is slightly too big for their child so that they grow into it. However, this is a mistake. It is crucial to buy something which fits your child now.

Furthermore, age is an important consideration because it also has a direct influence on what features you should be looking for when buying a trike. For instance, if you are buying your child their first trike then you should be looking for elements such as a parent handle and stabilisers.

The next element which also needs to be deeply considered is the style of the bike. It is important to go for something which is bright and vibrant in order to provoke a positive reaction from your child. Children need to be instantly interested in the toy they are presented with otherwise it will be very hard for you to try and get them to want to play with it. There are a lot of themed trikes available today. It is a good idea to buy a bike which is based around your child’s favourite cartoon character as this is something which they are assured to love.

All in all, a trike is something that every little boy or girl will enjoy and get a lot of use out of. Nevertheless, it is highly important to put some deep thought into the buying process in order to ensure that the right trike is bought. If you consider the size of the trike, the features it contains, the style of trike and the price of it, then you will be well on your way to finding the perfect one for your child.

Smoby Trikes




When your little one first steps away from their pushchair and wants to try something they can power on their own, it can be a nerve-wracking experience for any parent. However, if you try to keep your child in a pushchair or under your control for too long, they can start to get fussy and frustrated, so finding a mix between the two is key.

Thankfully Smoby Trikes have come up with a range of smart trikes that allow for both parent handling and independent riding, to a number of different levels that are perfect for even very young children and will give parents the peace of mind they need to feel happy about their child taking their first independent steps.

The Smoby Baby Driver V is perfect for young toddlers who are learning to ride a trike for the first time. With different levels of security as they learn and start to take initiative, the trike works in much the same way as a pushchair at first, with a large pushchair style handle which can be locked into the back and used to steer the trike around easily. The parental push bar moves the trike around and controls the direction it goes in, so is perfect for kids who are just learning to get their balance and get used to the trike, or for when they are tired and want you to take the lead. The bar even has a handy bag attachment in which you can keep everything you need for a day out, so you won’t have to worry about carrying your own things when you are taking control of the trike. The trike has a sturdy seatbelt and a steering lock so your child won’t injure themselves on the revolving wheels if you are in control.

Once your child is used to the feel of the trike the push bar can be removed so that your child can take the lead and steer and pedal themselves around. The trike has a bucket on the back which can be used to store anything they need for the day - or just a favourite toy, and the bar can always be reattached if they get tired and need to be pushed back home.

The Smoby Be Fun Comfort Trike has many of the same features as the Smoby Baby Driver V, but with an even more secure seat system, with a bucket seat that comes with full harness surrounds, so even the smallest children can be completely safe as they learn to power the trike on their own. The frame of the Be Fun Comfort Trike can also be adjusted as your child grows and becomes more comfortable with riding the trike on their own, so they are always safe and comfortable, but have more freedom as they grow and develop.
