Hi,

DD almost 1. MIL wanting to buy her a trike... any suggestions or any you would definitely not choose?

Thanks 😊

We had a trike and it was ok, but I would probably recommend a balance bike or something like a scuttle bug instead.

The trike ends up being used a bit like a pushchair but with no storage and less responsive, then when you remove the handle they are quite difficult for kids to learn to peddle as they are a bit stiff.

Thanks, we have a balance bike from DS- 10 years going strong 😉

Its more to be used as a buggy alternative for the school run really.
