Tike - the Toddlers Bike

Comment Published at 23:2223:2210 comments10 comments170 Visits170 VisitsReport

We have just (2 days) ago bought the Tike for Codi, and he hasn't got off it yet (except to go to bed! ) ;)

Excellent for learning how to balance on 2 wheels without training wheels.

Note: no pedals (but he has these on his tricycle anyway)

Re: Tike - the Toddlers Bike

The tikes are made by an Australian company  called Live Play Create. They are currently sold in Australia and New Zealand and the company is looking for a distributors Canada, the United States and Europe.

From their website  www.tike.com.au :

Live Play Create is committed to making kids lives simple and stylishly fun.

We honour the days when it was normal to end up covered in dirt and stay outside for hours .....when play things were treasured, not just used a few times and discarded.......... when toys didn't "over entertain" and not allow for imagination.

Our products promote a healthy, active and balanced lifestyle. They are designed to ignite a kid's natural passion for independence, exhilaration and old fashioned, simple fun.

They are a contemporary reflection on traditional play They are as simple as they are beautiful and are designed to be enjoyed for generations.

Live Play Create also plant a tree for every tike sold!

OMG!  Where do you get one from?  I've been told my 5 year old needs to work on riding balance etc, and one of those would be perfect!  Next time you share products you have bought, you must share the links or place where you got them from!

Re: Tike - the Toddlers Bike

MonkeyDad and I were trying to decide whether to get this one or a trike when we bought Matty a trike last Christmas. We decided to go for the trike because he may be too young (he was not yet 3 then).

I'd be interested to see how Codi does on this, especially when he transitions to a bike to see if it helps. Also... can it turn?

hi izzy - yes is can turn, it has all the functionality of a bike, except pedals. i think codi is now ready for a real bike, possibly without trainer wheels.

Cool. I've never seen anything like that, and it must be nice for the child. We got my son a small bike with training wheels for his third birthday, but he does NOT want to switch from his trike yet. I think the extra height scares him. This looks good cuz their feet are touching the ground.

That is neat.. I wonder if they are in Canada anywhere?
I think it's a great way for kids to learn how to balance on a bike!!

I love these little bikes, Caty has one and is addicted to it, we get where we are going in double quick time now,LOL. Ruth had one and she progressed to the big bike really, really quickly, thoroughly recommend them too.
