Best trike?

whiskeyman

Any recommendations?
Willing to spend up to 150 on a good one.
Hope to use it a lot when going for walks etc.. instead of big bulky buggy.

I like the look of this smart folding one:

Anything obvious I need to consider?

Thanks!

Look on adverts or swap pages on Facebook.
It will be grown out of in a few months.

I was also thinking about the one you linked but after haven looked at it in smyths I came to the conclusion that it’s trying to do too many things (cover a massive age gap, foldable, light and multiple formats) and because of this was compromised and I didn’t purchase it

I don't want to hijack the OP's thread but myself and the missus have been thinking about a trike too. I saw the below for sale a few months back elsewhere at €189 which seems alright:

Opinions?

In all honesty it’s the one “big” purchase I regret - didn’t get much use out of it at all, it’s quite uncomfortable and unwieldy to push on footpaths/any uneven ground at all. Once baby is up on their feet and walking they won’t want to be in it any more than the buggy either

I have a q play rito, got it for around €80 in Smyths. We use it a few evenings a week as leave the buggy in the child minders weekdays. It’s grand for short flat easy walks, not ideal for any sort of bumpy terrain or hills.

I’m in the middle of a town so it suits me, if I was to buy again I’d go second hand as most people don’t really get much use so plenty in good condition at a decent price.
