I have a baby boy (currently 11 months old). Before he was born, I bought the Doona car seat stroller, which is the most practical option for babies aged 0-18 months.
Very good quality and ergonomics.
When he turned 6 months old, I started looking for a tricycle and stumbled upon the Doona Liki Trike. I was thrilled because it folds up so compactly and fits into a school bag. Other "good" models simply fold in half but still take up a lot of space and are not easily transportable.
The Doona Liki Trike includes:
-The tricycle
-A bag for small items that attaches to the back of the bike
It has fabric padding on the seat, backrest, and child's protective rim, and it also has a fabric folding sunshade.
Additionally, the backrest has 3 reclining positions for the child to lie down slightly if they get tired. However, this feature is not particularly practical because the recline is very small and doesn't make much of a difference compared to other tricycles that recline completely and become little beds.
(The S3 model is the mid-range model in terms of features. The S1 is the simplest, with a 3-point harness and no armrest cushions, and there is also the top model, S5, which includes additional features such as a travel storage bag, pedal straps for reverse riding, wooden handles, a cup holder, and reinforced 5-point harnesses.)
The tricycle has different stages of operation depending on the child's age, like most good tricycles. Starting from 6 months old, the parent has control. Later on, you adjust the pedals so that the child can move the wheels, adjust the steering so they can turn on their own, etc. In the final stage, after removing the parent handle and the backrest, it becomes a small tricycle that the child can use independently.
It is the most expensive tricycle available, but for me, it's worth the money if someone plans to keep it until the child is 3-4 years old.
If someone can afford it, I highly recommend buying it. You can easily and quickly transport it anywhere. It even fits in the footwell of a small car's backseat. Finally, assembly and disassembly can be done in 5-10 seconds (it opens and closes with one motion, the only thing that takes a little time is attaching the parent handle, which secures with a pin).
