My daughter took a shine to these trikes during the summer when she saw one at a kids party, so I decided to wait a few months until Christmas when I vowed to buy her one of her own. Big mistake! By Christmas my daughter was coming up to two and seemed to have outgrown the trike all of a sudden.

With a lightweight aluminium frame, sturdy but light design, and ability to fold down and be portable, I thought the Scuttlebug would be ideal for a two-year-old, but sadly it was not to be. The age range, as far as I remember, is aged one to age three, but personally I would say one to two is much more accurate.

The Scuttlebug my daughter owns is the same as the one in the picture, except it is bright pink. They are available in pink, blue, purple and yellow. They look really great and have narrow seats and sturdy legs. It's really easy to move about on them due to their size and design. The handle turns easily, and they take up very little space, especially since they can be collapsed. For this reason they are a great toy for taking to the park, or over to friends houses. It's easy to carry them one-handed, which is important with a toddler who always demands to be carried like mine!

My daughter does sit on this and scoot about but she looks far too big for it. She would rather play with her other toys, especially her ride on car. I paid £20 on Amazon for this, but it was on special offer and they usually retail for around £25, which is still a good price for what they are.

However I would bear in mind that if your child is 18-months or older, they may not get much use from this trike. The same goes for toddlers who are tall for their age.
