A Summer Exploring On Our Micro Trike

We were sent the Micro Trike for purpose of review. All thoughts and opinions are our own.

This summer we have been getting out and about as much as possible. A little while ago, we were sent a Micro Trike for Olivia – the brand new product from the Micro Scooters range. We’ve been testing it out for a good few weeks now – in different conditions and in different situations. It has joined us on the school run and days out – let’s find out a little more about it.

Olivia is now 20 months old and is fiercely independent. She wants to do everything herself, always – and it can be a nightmare getting her in her pushchair to go out or in the car seat if we are heading out in the car. However, this Micro Trike arriving has been the perfect compromise. She still feels a little independent whilst riding on it and I don’t have to worry about a daring little girl making a break for it.

We were sent the Micro Trike in pink and it is the most gorgeously vivid pink ever. I really love the colour and we’ve had plenty of compliments on it. The trikes are designed for ages 18 months plus although Olivia started using hers a couple of weeks before and was fine.

The trike itself is incredibly lightweight, weighing less than half a bag of sugar. Steve, Jack and I can pick it up and transport it with ease – and even Olivia has tried and managed to pick it up on the odd occasion. It is incredibly portable – unlike other trikes, this one is foldable – and very easy to fold at that. It is so easy to carry to another destination should your child want to get off and is also easy to store at home or fit in car boots due to how easily it folds down. It takes up so little space – just what I need in my car boot when we have multiple other things to take with us. Our pushchairs are bulky and heavy and not at all easy to fold down – sometimes the trike has just simply made more sense on a day out.

The trike also has one handed steering – this has so been so handy when doing the school run as I can steer Olivia on the trike with one whilst also still holding Jack’s hand to cross those busy roads. It is also incredibly easy to manoeuvre – so easy in fact, that even Jack can push her around – and often does!

Having had Micro Scooters products in the past, I was hoping for a high quality item and was hoping I wouldn’t be disappointed. I need not have worried, this trike certainly is good quality. It is Swiss designed and engineered – incredibly durable and a quality product.

We’ve had plenty of attention whilst out and about with our Micro Trike. So many people have asked where it is from, how much it is and also asked about its features. A few people have said that they could really do with one for the school run and will be checking them out – I’ve been so happy to let them know where they can get one from!

This summer has been so much fun, getting out and about without a big and bulky pushchair. We love our Micro Trike and can see us using it for many more months, perhaps even years to come. It really has changed the way we get around.
