I don't who was more excited when the Tippitoes boost trike arrived - me or Lucia, who shouted 'Oooooooh yeeeeah!' as I opened the box. I was a little concerned when I realised I actually had to assemble it myself, but it was either really simple to figure out, or I'm an engineering genius (I'm leaning towards towards the former...) Once constructed, it looked great - all gleaming pink plastic with silver grey trim. It even had a little storage basket at the bag, for all those essential toys and teddies. Lucia couldn't wait to clamber on board, and we spent the next exhausting 30 minutes zooming up and down the hallway. I liked the fact it had a removable arms to keep younger kids safely inside, and a stationary footrest they could use until they were old enough to pedal for themselves. Next it was time to put the trike to the test on a trip to the shops. Lucia had a blast, cruising down the footpath, swivelling around to take in all the sights. The push bar allowed me to steer and turn the trike, and I found that if tipped the trike back slightly on the the rear wheels, it was more maneuverable for tight corners. When she's old enough the push bar can be removed, and she can rely on her own pedal power.
*NB: Lucia's Tippitoes Boost Trike was supplied free of charge for the purpose of this review
