We highly recommend this tricycle for those who are undecided between getting a tricycle and a balance bike, and want something that will last a long time. This gives you the best of both worlds, giving your toddler the chance to practice pedalling and to work on their balance and stability before eventually moving on to a 2-wheel pedal bike. Kids love trikes because they can get at it 100% and move around over distances and speeds they’ve probably not experienced before. Kids love trikes and can start having fun with them as soon as they hit 1 year old. Exercise Overall, this is a really niche trike for 1 year olds who are a little behind on their physical development but it will help them exercise and get stronger to be able to take their next development step. It’s a little on the expensive side for what it is but you’re paying for a very classic, good looking wooden toy that your child will love. If you’re just not into plastic and metal toys for your child but you’re after something to help keep your 1 year old moving then why not consider this more traditional wooden Galt Toys Tiny Trike? Overall, if you are in the market for a pushchair replacement, then this is our leading candidate of best trike. smarTrike has other, more expensive models, but we believe that this version is the best value at this price point.

Because there are no pedals, your 1 year old has to engage their legs to get going which makes them stronger and better coordinated. We probably wouldn’t recommend this for 1 year olds who are advanced in terms of physical development simply because we just don’t think it’s challenging enough. With great versatility, this trike seamlessly transforms as your child grows. It serves as a stroller, a steering trike, a learning-to-ride trike, and a classic trike, accommodating children from as young as 18 months up to 5 years. The adjustable design ensures a perfect fit at every stage of development. As far as the trike is concerned it looks great and works well enough for indoor use and perhaps on grass in a garden. Because it is made entirely out of plastic it’s not ideal to be used in the local park or anywhere with rough terrain. This is a little bit disappointing considering the price tag because you’d need a decent sized house with a clearing for them to get anything out of it. Tricycles are a natural stepping stone to full on bicycles which most parents would agree they’d be delighted to one day teach their child to ride. With the use of a trike for 1 year old you can get their confidence and strength up enough to transition to bicycles with stabilisers and then to the full fat bike. A different way to travel Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the trike boasts an improved smart design that prioritizes safety, comfort, and convenience. Its sleek paint finish adds a touch of modern sophistication, making it a stylish choice for parents and children alike.In short, yes. Trikes offer a fun and safe way for children to be active and particularly useful for children who are yet to walk. Trikes for children as young as 1 will usually come with a handle for the parent to push to keep them going in a safe direction, to help them maintain a good speed or even as a replacement for a buggy if they don’t fancy peddling. The Little Tikes 4-in-1 Trike is one of the best value for money trikes for 1 year olds in the UK. It is suitable for children from 9 months onwards and because it has been designed to grow with the child. It can be used all the way to 3+ years old. According to the NHS, babies and toddlers should be active throughout the day, every day. While indoor bouncers can be good, the best trikes offer an alternative way for a child to do that whilst having fun and gaining some independence.

Safety is paramount, and this trike takes it seriously. The safety harness secures your child in place, preventing any accidental slips or falls. The removable safety bar adds an extra layer of protection, ensuring your little one's safety during the early stages of riding.A trike is one of the first examples of how you can teach your child that being active can be fun and rewarding. Confidence and independence Gone are all of the fancy parental handles and even the pedals in favour of a simple wooden tricycle that needs your child to use their own strength to get it moving. If you’re thinking this product is a bit poor when you’ve just scrolled past so many modern and feature rich ones then consider this niche – this trike, in our opinion, is designed for 1 year olds who are a little bit behind on their walking, possibly ones who aren’t interested at all. Toddlers will always find a way to move. Help focus that energy with a tricycle, the classic three-wheeled bike. Not only will your kiddo benefit from physical exercise, but a tricycle will help your child develop a sense of balance and build cognitive skills as they navigate the road ahead. Consider your child's size and the bike's size to ensure they can comfortably ride with room to grow. Additionally, never forget to have your child wear a helmet. This trike for toddlers has been designed to give parents control at first through the push handle and foot rests before toddlers are able to move on to using the pedals themselves.

It’s a 4-in-1 trike that can be adjusted all the way to 5 years. This is typically 2 years more than most trikes and therefore offers more return on your money than other options. The standard 3 point harness is present. Other safety features are non slip pedals, adjustable footrests and an adjustable parent steering handle. Complies with EN71. At 1 year old your baby may or may not be able to walk and so a trike can help the latter get moving. A baby/toddler who is able to walk can exercise in a different way. Combining a sturdy steel frame and solid non-slip EVA foam wheels, the besrey 7-in-1 trike is stable and durable. In addition, it also limits handlebar steering to 120 degrees to help prevent tipping over.

Materials matter: You want your child to be riding a sturdy, well-constructed trike. Materials like metal, over inexpensive plastics, may cost more, but are likely more durable and will last longer. Sturdy materials mean your trike will be great for growing with your kid and passing down to younger siblings in the future. If your child is walking or in the phase of learning how to walk then this is a good sign that they could make use of a trike. If you have a child who is a little behind on their physical development then we would recommend holding off on a trike and allow them the time to develop naturally without forcing anything upon them. Should I get a balance bike or a trike? In conclusion, this is a bit of a niche trike even if it’s made by such a household name as VTech. We feel it’s been designed by parents who are struggling to get their children into physical toys but they are interested in electronic toys. A 1 year old can’t do a lot of activities outside barring walking which is why trikes are such a good idea. The Maternal and Early Years organisations says that taking part in a variety of physical activities helps maintain a healthy weight, improves self-confidence and social skills and can provide opportunities to develop friendships.

Safety Features: New bikers should feel safe and confident. Some tricycles come with harnesses to help keep your child stable and secure while riding. Tricycles that are lower to the ground are typically easier for a child to handle, and bigger tires make the bike more sturdy. Most importantly, make sure your child is ready to ride a tricycle, especially if they will be riding without your assistance. According to the AAP, most children tend to be trike-ready around 3 years old. By 3, it is typically safe for kids to ride on their own (with a helmet!) versus with a parent steering them.
