we got a preloved one for my 17 mth old a couple of weeks ago. it's just the normal type with parents handle and footrest that one can buy from dept stores and kiddy palace. no specific brand. but parents handle and footrest are important because my boy's legs are not long enough to reach the pedals yet. so far, as we are working parents, we have only let my boy ride on it on weekends, for 3X, and he enjoyed being able to experience our neighbourhood on wheels. think it will still be a while before he is ready to graduate to a bicycle. if u r worried that investing in a brand new tricycle might not be so worth it, can source for a preloved in good condition at a fraction of the normal retail price.
I think I can get a lot of mileage from trike cos my baby's small-sized and only 19mth. Probably will be some time before she can pedal on her own. Plus I can sell it after she outgrows it. hee...
We brought her to a few places (ELC, toys r us, baby hyperstore) on Saturday. Our baby climbed in & out of nearly every ride-on. For trikes with a parent handle, she'll insist on pushing it. Is this normal behaviour??
Didn't buy anything cos hub said she wasn't ready for a trike
