How to Choose the Ideal Girls' Tricycle


Tricycles have been one of the most popular and beloved childhood toys for generations, and they're a still a great choice for a child's gift. In the past, tricycles were available in very basic designs and colors that were appropriate for all kids. Today, there are many choices in terms of materials, design, style and color that allow you to personalize the trike you purchase for any child.

While a basic, bright red trike might be fine for any child today as in the past, what little girl wouldn't love to own her own personalized pink trike? If you're planning to give a tricycle to a special young girl, choose one in her favorite shade of pink or possibly purple. Most tricycle manufacturers design trikes in pastel pinks and purples that are ideally suited for little girls who love these colors.

Color is important when it comes to choosing the perfect girls' tricycle, but design also matters. It's important to choose a trike that will be easy to ride. Children usually ride trikes from around age 2 to 5, and it can take young kids a while to get the hang of how to ride. A trike that features a broad seat, low center of gravity and wide wheels will be easiest for a little girl to learn to maneuver and ride. Trike wheels should have good traction as well as a wide base for easy riding.

Back rests are another option that can make riding easier and more enjoyable as well as more stable. Stirrup-style foot pedals can also make riding easier and more enjoyable for little girls.

Plastic became a popular trike building material some decades ago, and many parents choose plastic trikes because they're cheaper than other varieties. Yet steel frame tricycles are usually much sturdier than plastic trikes. They also tend to last longer. Many are so well built, your little girl could well pass her trike on to her own daughter some day!

One of the best things about today's tricycles for little girls is that they're designed to be portable. You can choose a portable trike that's designed to easily fold down and tuck into the trunk of a car. Your little girl can ride her pink trike anyplace - at the park, in the playground or at a neighbor's or relative's house. Tricycles are always fun and entertaining, and they're the ideal toy to bring along to keep kids happy on day trips.

Once you've shopped around and found the perfect pink tricycle for your little girl, don't forget to invest in two safety items. A helmet is a must for safe riding, and you can easily find a pretty pink helmet designed especially for little girls. No matter how sturdy her new trike might be, a spill is always a possibility, and a helmet can prevent head injuries on hard pavement or gravel surfaces.

A tall safety flag in white or bright pink is another important accessory to add to a new trike. It help little kids stay visible to others cycling, running or riding motorized sports equipment in the area where a child may trike.
