One thing that is
hard with kids is that they grow so fast, they grow out of items you buy for
them almost right away. Then that money is just flushed down the drain, I love when there are products that grow with
your kids. The Smart Trike is one of those great items. We were very fortunate
to be able to review a Smart Trike Dream, in blue.
This bike is fairly
simple to put together, after I laid out all of the pieces I needed to build
the bike, I was a bit skeptical, would I be able to put this tighter? Or would
I need my handy husbands help? Well I am happy to say I was able to put the
trike together and it looked great when it was together.
My little niece Mary
got was very lucky to be able to try out this wonderful bike, she is just a
little over 11 months old and she is the right age for the first stage of the
trike.
She liked being
pushed in the trike and even took a nap after we pushed her for a while. She is
still young and I am sure after she is in the trike longer she will love it
even more. And as she grows she will enjoy the trike even more. I loved the
blue color of the bike, as this color would work for either a boy or a girl.
The trikes also come in some other great colors including, red, purple, pink,
blue and even a lady bug themed smart trike!
The first stage is a
parent controlled trike this can be used at 10 months , this offers extra back
support, enhanced steering experience with the touch steering and handle bar
clutch that neutralizes the handlebar. A comfortable ride for your very little
one. This is like having a stroller that looks like a bike. The parent handle
makes this trike very easy to push, a wide handle that makes pushing easier on
the parent. My husband loved the height of the handle, he was able to push the
trike without having to hunch over, like other strollers we have used in the
past.
The second stage is
a guided Trike from 18 months this still provides parental control, but now
that the little one can sit up unaided the back support and extra padding is
removed but the handlebar still remains for baby's safety.
The third is the training
trike, you can use this from 24 months there is a footrest that is folded then
the pedals are folded out and the handlebar clutch is pushed in so the child
starts mastering handlebar movement. The pedals are still neutralized but the
child’s feet are now on the pedals as they can start mastering the pedals and
the movement.
And the final fourth
step is setting it up as a classic trike that the child can use from ages 30-36
months this will build their confidence and hone their skills that they learned
in the first three stages with this stage the parent handle is now removed and
the clutch is pushed in and your little child can ride around your child now
has the freedom of a trike.
This bike is very
well made, this bike is a top quality item that was built to last. The Smart
Trike was a “Right Start Best Toy” Award” winner, this was no surprise the
trike is amazing and so very versatile. This smart trike would be the ultimate
gift. So if you are still looking for a
gift for that little one on your holiday gift list this year, it is not too
late order today! Some stores are offering free upgrades to express shipping
