Overall, you simply can’t go wrong with The Little Tikes 4-in-1 Trike as an entry level for a 1 year old or even for a 3 year old. The price point is incredibly generous considering how many years of use you should get out of this.

This limited-edition trike by Mimosa x SIA uses purposefully upcycled leather from retired Singapore Airlines’ Business Class seats, stitched onto the shoulder and crotch pads. Through The Upcycling Project, the premium leather is given a new lease of life. 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. The tyres are very grippy, durable and quiet which can be useful for indoor use. Also, the images don’t show it but the frame of the trike is made out of solid metal which is very strong yet light and agile. For further safety, the trike seat has a 5-point belt and harness.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. 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. Life with a newborn baby can be challenging, but that doesn’t mean you need to give up on everyday fun. Travelling with your little one is a fulfilling experience and allows parent and child to bond. Open doors to a whole new world of fun-filled activities with Mimosa’s range of travel essentials.

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. The best baby gear are those that not only look nice but also provide functional benefits. The Mimosa Dreamliner is a stroller that rises to the occasion by providing ergonomic support for newborns and young children. With 3 reclining positions bolstered by an OEKO-TEX® fabric seat and generous sun shade, it provides the ultimate comfort for your child.
