Caring for the comfort and safety of their child, parents seek to choose the best means of transportation for him. Of course, for walks with babies up to a year they will become a comfortable and spacious stroller. However, the process of growing up opens up a number of new opportunities for us, and a one-year-old baby may well transfer to a modern tricycle equipped with a special handle for parents. The features of the choice of this transport will be discussed in our article.
First of all, it is worth mentioning the obvious advantages of a bicycle over bulky clumsy strollers. The dimensions and weight of this vehicle allow you to lower it onto the street without any problems, even if your house does not have an elevator. And this is especially important if you go for a walk several times a day. Also, the tricycle has a fairly compact size, which will significantly save space in the apartment. And independent pedaling will positively affect the baby’s physical condition. Simply put, a bicycle will be the best solution for walking in the autumn-spring period.
When choosing a children's tricycle, pay special attention to the handle for parents, because this element breaks before the rest. Try to evaluate its strength, as well as the possibility of replacement or subsequent repair. As a rule, large children's goods stores offer their customers pens suitable for almost all bicycle models. To increase the life of this part, you must try to limit the load on it - to overcome obstacles, lift the vehicle by the steering wheel, pushing it behind the back of the seat or the footboard. The size of the handle also plays an important role - parents of high stature should choose a children's tricycle with a handle to be adjusted, otherwise the back may get tired. If the compactness of the vehicle is of great importance to you, pay attention to the instances, the handle of which is removed without the use of additional tools.
Almost all modern models of tricycles for babies are equipped with a special footrest designed for babies who still cannot pedal themselves. It is important that it is as reliable and stable as possible, not allowing the child's foot to slip off - this can lead to serious injuries. When the child grows up and is ready for independent pedaling, the footrest can be removed.
For children up to one and a half to two years, a seat limiter can be useful, which will protect the baby from slipping and falling out. It is an elongated tube running around the seat. A special tissue limiter, passing between the legs of the crumbs, will provide its additional fixation.
Often, a tricycle can have an awning from the sun and rain, a removable basket for things and toys, music and game panels. All these additional accessories will make the walk more fun, enjoyable and long.
And the last tip: the determining factor in choosing a particular model should be the opinion of the baby. Take a look at a few suitable options, show them to the baby, let me sit in them. Even a one-year-old peanut will let you know which tricycle he likes more.
