Holly's Smart Trike

This weekend we unpacked and constructed Holly's brand new Smart Trike with Dream Touch Steering.

I am planning a full review of the 4-in-1 Smart Trike Dream in the coming weeks but let me tell you this... it was dead easy to put together (Lara barked the instructions at her Daddy!) and it is incredibly easy to put Holly in and out of, and to push and steer along the pavements around our house.

I'm not 100% convinced about the lessons being taught through the introduction of a built-in 'mobile phone' for toddlers but actually this was the part of the Smart Trike dream that Holly loved most.  We went out for our first adventure on the Smart Trike Dream with Holly on the trike and Lara on her balance bike!  Holly grinned from ear to ear for the entire journey.  I really, really wish she could have told me what she was thinking because she just looks as if she had discovered the meaning of life!  I'm so glad she enjoyed herself.

We are using our Smart Trike 4-in-1 in its first mode which is suitable for 10 months upwards.  At this age we just push Holly along and she has no control over the steering.  As she grows, the Smart Trike will grow with her and I'm hoping to share our journey with the Smart Trike Dream over the coming year.  As Holly gains more control we will allow her to control the steering, then slowly remove the supports and the steering control so that eventually, as she approaches 3 years old, she will be able to use the trike all on her own with no support.  Yay!

Disclosure:  Holly was sent the Smart Trike Dream to review as part of an ongoing series of blog posts and competitions in the coming months.  We love it but would tell you honestly if we didn't.
