One-year-olds are at that exciting age where they really start to show their personalities. Maybe they’re already walking, or perhaps crawling is still their preferred method of getting from point A to point B. They may be saying their first words or enjoying a favourite book at bath time. But when it comes to deciding whether to choose a stroller or a Kids Trike for your 1-year-old, you may be wondering if it's too soon for a Kids Trike.
Do Kids Trikes Make Good First Birthday Gifts?
A baby’s first birthday is a significant milestone, full of excitement and new memories. You may be considering a Kids Trike as a birthday gift, but perhaps you think it’s something better suited for when your child is three or four. However, a Kids Trike for a 1-year-old is actually a fantastic first birthday gift, especially when you opt for a Kids Trike designed to grow with your child.
Never Heard of a Baby Kids Trike Before? Let Us Explain
Our SmarTrike Kids Trikes are designed with stages, meaning they start off fully controlled by the parent and evolve into a regular trike as your child grows. These trikes are ideal for kids starting as young as 10 months old, offering them an engaging and safe way to experience movement.
In the first stage, your child will be securely strapped in, and you’ll push them along with the included parent handle. At this stage, the child will use a baby footrest instead of pedals and can hold onto the handlebars if they wish, but you’ll still be in control of steering.
As they get older and more familiar with the movement, the trike evolves. They’ll begin practicing pedaling and steering with your guidance, still using the parent handle for assistance. Once they’re ready, the trike transitions into a fully independent ride, making it the perfect Kids Trike for a 1-year-old that grows with them beyond their first birthday.
