• Stroll into summer with the fantastic smart trike

I wrote a review on these last year, and I have to say, a year on and we still love our Smart Trike. Everywhere we go, people comment on how brilliant it is – just last Saturday we went to the new Harry Potter exhibit in London and people were commenting about the Trike.  It is such an easy to manoeuvre, compact and agile pushchair alternative, it’s brilliant.

There are a few comments on Amazon about difficulty assembling it – ‘tis true: the instructions are rather dire – and about the wheels falling off. We’ve had absolutely  no hassles like that whatsoever. All that falls off for us is the bucket, so we eventually took it off and don’t bother with it.

We also took the sun visor off as I couldn’t see my daughter with it on, which bugged me.

It has four settings for four different ages and stages, and really does grow with your child.

All in all, in my view, a simply brilliant product, at a simply fabulous price!

We never got on very well with a pushchair as my daughter hated being strapped in. We used a sling until she was over a year old – and sometimes still do, but then we got ourselves a Smart Trike Recliner and everything pretty much changed.

The Smart Trike Recliner is the only stroller certified push chair in the world, and is suitable for use from six months, making it an ideal next step from a sling if you don’t want to invest a small fortune in a pram.

I did initially find the Smart Trike Recliner a little tough to assemble and all in it took about 40 minutes, although partly because my daughter was insistent on sitting on the chair before I could even set it all up.

This trike definitely takes care of all the ages it’s meant for. There are three different foot rest settings for as your child grows, and along with the safety harness, there’s also a bar to keep little ones secure.

The Smart Trike Recliner comes with a sun visor, which we don’t use as I find it intrusive in my view of my daughter, and hers of me, which unsettles her – but that could just be us.  The only other negative on the Smart Trike Recliner is that the basket comes off really easily, so it’s not all that useful for storage of shopping or anything.

On the other hand, there’s a bag attached to the adjustable parent handle which is the ideal size for a nappy or two, some wipes, a phone and a purse, so you don’t have to carry a handbag along if you’re just going for a walk.

My favourite thing – from a ‘mum perspective’ - is that the cup holder it comes with is the perfect size for a large takeaway coffee cup! That was me sold already.

Steering is really easy and can be done one handed, although it is easier with two, and the reclining seat means my little girl can shut her eyes and doze off when she feels the need without me having to rush home.

The Smart Trike Recliner is really light and fits easily on the backseat of the car, much more so than the pram we never got on with and it is definitely our favourite mode of wheeled child transport to date.

It comes in a variety of colours, and we chose the denim for its unisex appeal.

• Smart Trike 3 in 1 for growing children

We have the next generation on from the Smart Trike Deluxe, and I have to say it’s fantastic. There are a couple of niggles with it, but overall, it is money well spent – and at a third off, would be even better.

The Smart Trike Deluxe is a tricycle which starts off as a push along outdoor toy. You can strap your child into the seat, and  it comes with safety bars for the really little children, there’s a canopy for shelter from the sun and there’s a parent handle for you to keep control of your toddlers on the move.

Later on you can remove the high-backed seat, as well as the canopy and the parent handle, turning it into a fab tricycle.  It comes with a bottle holder, a telephone toy, a detachable basket and  a storage bag.

And in this bright green colour, you’ll be easy to spot on the road, too!
