Toddler Trike?

LPip Squeak on 23/04/2013 - 16:23

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a trike for my soon-to-be 2 year old and was wondering if there is anything in particular I should be looking out for? It seems the prices vary considerably.
Thanks!

    Pneumatic rubber tyres.

      +1 or polyurethane but avoid plastic

      best brands are probably kettler and puky

    Make sure the front wheel (if it has pedals) has a dis-engagable clutch. So that when you are pushing the trike (I assume for a 2 year old you are looking at one with an extendable arm so it can be pushed from behind) the pedals can spin freely and not be locked to the wheel, otherwise your little one will end up with bruised ankles. HN Big Buys and Toys R Us have these trikes on special all the time, the one we have was "originally" $249 reduced to $149 or something similar - seems to be of reasonable build quality.

    Great, thanks everyone for your help. Good thinking avoiding the plastic tyres. :)
