The bike was a bit tall for her one-year-old, who was desperate to have a go nonetheless! Bethan’s 5-year-old found it easy and fun to scoot around on the bike, and Bethan thinks it’ll get lots of use as her 1-year-old grows.
How adjustable is the Trybike?
Both the seat and handlebars can be raised and lowered to the perfect height for your child, and they’re easy to adjust as your little one grows. The seat’s lowest setting is 30cm, and can be raised up to 45cm. For the handlebars, you can have them between 54-61cm.
The bike also converts from a three-wheel trike into a two-wheel balance bike with the help of a conversion kit. Trybike claim that mastering their balance bike will mean your child will find the transition to a pedal bike an absolute doddle - in just 1-2 hours. Having tested out a few balance bikes in our time, this is the case for balance bikes in general - it really is astonishing to see how quickly balance bike aficionados take to pedal bikes, when compared to kids who’ve never ridden a balance bike.

How does it look?
There’s no denying it, the Trybike is a looker. Its insta-ready retro design and tasteful colour options make it an aesthetically pleasing option - especially if you’ll need to store it in your hallway or porch. For added cuteness as well as storage, add a wicker basket like this one from Trybike or this similar one from Amazon.
What’s it like to use day-to-day?
Bethan’s 1-year-old is happy careering up and down the hallway of their terraced house on the Trybike right now, and they’ve ventured out to the local park on it too. The tyres are big and robust enough for uneven surfaces but won’t scuff up your floors either.
