We've researched and bought a lot of baby gear over the past year. While not everything was a great purchase some definitely stand out better than others.
Enter the Radio Flyer.
It's listed as a 4-in-1 tricycle that can be used starting from 6 months.
Setting it up was easy. Just follow the instructions making sure you're using the correct screws. It took me about 30 minutes to put it together.
I was a bit nervous the first time going out with Jasmine but she definitely enjoyed it. Since she is facing forward I couldn't see her reactions while we were walking. Pushing one handed I could walk by her side but that made it difficult to turn. The pusher handle connects to the front handlebars so the adult can turn the wheel. The pedals can also disengage from the front wheel so their little feet won't be caught while I'm pushing.
I originally had one of the seat straps too tight. This caused her to lean to one side to escape the strap. It also made her dangle her foot closer to the ground. I was constantly worrying that she would scrape her foot until I loosened it a little.
Overall it is well designed and sturdy so far. It will serve us well for the next few years as Jasmine learns to control her body better.
