There are certain milestones that many children get to experience as a part of growing up. Their first haircut, their first vacation, their first day of school are all just some of the possible events that can leave an impression. Another one is learning how to ride a bike. It comes easier for some and unnaturally for others. But riding a bicycle can be tough, especially if you’re just trying to jump right into it. Training your child with a tricycle first is a great idea, as it will give them confidence before they level up to a bicycle. This will teach them steering, pedaling, and the effort it takes propel yourself down the street or sidewalk. Picking what kind of tricycle can be harder, as there are many options available to you and your child. We’ve taken a look and highlighted five of them, so your child can ride down the street in style.

If they happen to find something fun while they’re out riding, they can keep them in the storage area too. You can choose between a red trike or a pink one.
