Is a trike a good investment before purchasing a bicycle for my 1 and half year old?

Asked 2 years ago

I know he is not ready for a bike yet but we are avid bikers and will get him one when he is old enough. Is a trike a great prelude to this? it seems like it is, since we have the option of steering him and letting him explore on his own. I'd love confirmation!

Investing in a trike for your 1-and-a-half-year-old can be a great way to introduce him to the joys of cycling and improve his physical development. It's a fun and engaging way for your child to develop his gross motor skills, balance, and coordination before transitioning to a bicycle. Plus, it can be a fun bonding activity for you both as you explore the great outdoors together.
