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.
