From carrier to first bike: which vehicle for your child?

Translation: machine translated
As soon as little ones can walk, they should already know how to ride? Of course they should! Playing with balance is essential for good development. Children who are often physically active and play a lot outdoors tend to be more confident and dexterous. However, there are many dangers outside, such as road traffic. That's why it's vital to teach children how to get around on two wheels, bit by bit.
Porter
Little ones as young as 1 want to speed through the flat and down the street. At this age, the carrier is a stable and perfectly adapted vehicle. It's a fun way for children to learn the skills they'll need later on as road users: moving forward, steering, braking and keeping their balance. Falls with the carrier are, because of the low height and slow speed, often not very serious.
Pedal tractor
From the age of 2, many small children switch to the pedal tractor. This mode of locomotion requires considerably more skill, as you have to pedal and steer at the same time. With a small tractor, children can carry lots of utensils, help in the garden or even imagine themselves living on a farm.

Irene.Portmann@digitecgalaxus.chI love the strategy game “The Settlers of Catan”, the Ravensburger puzzle “Colourful Cupcakes” and the pink fluffy unicorn that sits on my desk (a birthday present from my workmates). Not only do I have a weakness for toys, I also get excited about good food and comedy TV shows.
