I wanted to buy a smart trike 1-2-3 as a christmas present for my baby, she will be 15 months by then. However I am starting to wondering how worthy it is.I do see quite a lot of them around, but mostly the parent push them and the kids are either walking or in their arms. Plus all the used one I have found on internet seem to be barely used and expensive. I do like them but I am not sure if I should spend the money or wait till she can go on a bike, maybe a balance one.

Has anyone got a smart trike and it was a great success? or a total waste of money?

Thank you

Hi Berbel,


We spent ?90 on a smart trike for our son's 1st birthday and it was barely used, maybe once or twice. It was very hard to steer straight and impossible for little legs to pedal. We then bought a micro scooter for his 2nd birthday and two years later it still gets used almost every day. I'm sure people will have different experiences but for us, it was an absolute waste of money.

so far I have to say that it feels like ours was a waste of money, tho as we got one of the more expensive ones that you can take the parent handle off when they can ride it alone, maybe it will come into its own in a while. Our daughter is 20 months and I think we bought it soon after she started to walk at 11 months, and the thing is, she just doesn't want to be pushed in anything, and this applies to the smart trike just as much as her buggy! She will go in it for a few minutes for the novelty factor but quickly wants to get out, so to be honest we'e stopped bothering taking it out as she wants to be running, not sitting. But as I say, maybe this will change when she can ride it properly using the pedals and we've just peaked too soon with buying it early!


p.s also find it's incredibly annoying to steer, like a wonky shopping trolley, even tho we have the 1-2-3 one which is supposed to be the easy to steer one.

I bought one for my daughters 2nd bday from ELC - you can take the parent handle off (says for up to 36mths) but changed my mind and thought maybe she was too old and I'd send it back.... Still have it in box unopened. If you are interested let me know - it's in primary colours not girlie.

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
