Product Information

Make sure the towing bike has a rear mudguard, ideally with a mudflap, otherwise you’ll spray road run-off into the face of your passenger. If there isn’t a mudflap, fit a mountain bike-style down tube guard to the trailer cycle. The trailer cycle itself needs a mudguard too. Lights

When it comes to trikes, the Scuttlebug is a firm favourite for toddlers learning to balance and steer. With four designs to choose from – the Butterfly, Beetle, Bumblebee and Grasshopper – the Scuttlebug is a fun, easy-to-manoeuvre ride-on for one-year-olds who are keen to get moving. You can tow a trailer cycle behind a tandem even more easily than you can behind a solo bicycle. It upsets the handling less, because the trailer cycle passenger is a smaller fraction of the weight that’s on the towing bicycle. Poppy O'Neill is a Content Editor at Mumsnet and a mother of two.

Panniers The Doona is a great trike to take your child from first wheels to a proper bike. You start with it in Parent Mode from 10-18 months with sides and a canopy to keep your child safe and protect them from the elements. From 18 to 24 months you use it in Push Mode where the sides come off but the parent control bar remains and your child’s feet go on the foot rest. Pedals are added for Tricycle Mode from 24-30 months and then the control bar comes off and they’re off on their own in Bike Mode from 30-36 months. By three years old, you’re looking at more of a traditional type of trike, with handlebars and pedals, or possibly a balance bike style where they push themselves along with their feet on the ground. A trike is perfect for a one year old! They are just developing their fine motor skills and the freedom that a trike brings can really help to promote their independence.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user NewBabyToys) Our verdict

Many Mumsnet users say they favour balance bikes over tricycles, citing the transition to pedalling as being much easier (and often shorter) thanks to the absence of training wheels right from the get-go.

Which kind of trike is best for different ages?

If you’re looking for a trike that you can use instead of the buggy on trips to the park and out and about then the Q Play Rito Star is a great option. From as young as 10 months your child can sit in the comfy seat, put their feet up on the footrests, and enjoy the view while you have full control. We love that the handle on this trike is similar to those on a pushchair so you can comfortably use both hands to push and steer.

It starts off as a solid, sturdy infant trike that’s suitable from 10 months old and is perfect for helping them learn to pedal and build their bike-riding confidence. Then as they get older you can easily convert the infant trike to a guided bike, then training bike, and finally to a balance bike by switching the wheels round and storing the pedals under the comfy, anti-slip seat.

The difference in cornering between towing bike and trailer tricycle is not a problem at modest speeds – say, 15mph and below. It is a problem if you hit a corner going faster, especially if it’s off-camber. Trailer tricycle passengers must lean into the corner or the trailer cycle may roll out of the corner onto its side.
