Tricycles, Bikes and Ride-ons

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

I love the idea of a tricycle for my littlest one, so I have been researching and thought I would share with you!

Skip Hop WishBone Bike- 3 Bikes in 1 !
Unlike any other running bikes, the Wishbone bike evolves with a child’s different stages of development.
It starts at age 1 as a trike, converts to a running bike as the child grows, and by four to five years old, the ‘wishbone’ frame is flipped, making the Wishbone Bike one of the largest running bikes on the market.
With its environmentally sustainable design and innovative 3-bikes-in-1 feature, the Wishbone bike, designed in New Zealand, really is the ultimate pre-bike.
It is recommended for ages 1-5.

I LOVE this Radio Flyer tricycle, it is exactly like the one I had as a child! Much easier on the pocketbook at $85.
This is a classic Retro red and white styling and frame, it has controlled turning radius for safety and balance, Ringing chrome plated bell and a adjustable seat for different heights.
Perfect for ages 2 to 5 years old! These are a little heavy compared to newer types of trikes, but there is a reason these are a classic!

Lastly, I love the look of this Wheely Bug. Looks like a bug, rolls like a car. The Wheely Bug from Prince Lionheart is a cute wheeled push car for kids up to 50 lbs. The seat of this light push trike is made of compressed foam, padded with a 1″ layer of soft sponge. The Wheely Bug comes in three designs and two sizes.

Tell me, what kind of tricycles do you have in your house?

School Bus Ride On For Toddlers

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

We have a love affair going on in our house with Little People. We have the villages, the barn and the zoo. At Christmas my son even became the owner of the Fisher Price Little People School Bus ride On. He loves getting on and off of it and riding around the house!

One button plays a stop and go on to school song and the two Little People in the front of the bus spin to the music. Press another button and hear the bus driver tell everyone to please sit down so we can go to school and another button is the horn. Press the two Little People in the front seat and hear them laughing. My son loves the pictures of Little People passengers on the sides of the bus and the colors of the bus, red and yellow, are bright and attractive.
The seat also opens for storage of whatever my baby needs with him at all times.
He loves being pushed around by his big brother or sister by the handle at the back and that handles was terrific when he was learning to walk. He would push that bus everywhere and think he was a big deal. A good toy for $34.99.
School Bus is for ages 12 months to 3 years, but I still catch my 6 year olds on it every once in awhile!
What is your favorite Little People toy?

Travel In Style

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

My children each had a ride on and they loved them, but I didn’t. The thing I didn’t like about them is the same problem all parents have with toys, they were too loud with obnoxious noises and songs. Kids love to be able to get on something and ride it, and do it over and over and over.

< This radio flyer inchworm is adorable though! It is for ages 2-5 and it weighs only 8lbs. Bounce up and down to make the inchworm move.
Most store have this available or you can order it from www.redwagons.com and they have it available to ship now.
Better yet? No noise besides tons of laughter!

Go Green with Radio Flyer

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

wagon_detail2.jpg
We recycle in our home and have been for many years. Recently my children asked me why we put certain things in our “other” trash can. I explained recycling to them and then I wondered what exactly is our recycled material made into? I wanted to find out for my kids as well as for myself. I found many things on my travels that are tagged with “made with recyclable plastics” and I feel great about not only buying those items but my recycling efforts!

Now the little red wagon has “gone green” too! This is a green radio Flyer. This great wagon is made from 100% recycled post-consumer HDPE (plastic milk jugs). Over 230 milk jugs were diverted from landfills to make each Earth Wagon. The green and tan colors are infused throughout the boards so color won’t scratch off and painting is never needed.
