A trike can be a great introduction to cycling for little ones as they get used to using pedals and the three wheels give more balance than a traditional bike.

Trikes come in many styles suitable for different age ranges. First tricycles are push-along versions for babies and there are also options which toddlers and older kids will love.

We’ve put together our top picks of the best trikes for babies, toddlers and kids.

All of our recommendations have 4-5 star ratings and excellent customer reviews.
