Once your baby is on the move, speed becomes a big deal! Whether it's crawling at a rate of knots or toddling speedily towards a big scary duck pond. But usually, the joys of bike-riding have to wait until they're a lot older.

However, you might have seen other parents out and about with these fab three-wheeler bikes which come with a handle. They are perfect for use with a child as young as nine months (if your child is already sturdy on his or her legs) and can go up to about two or three years of age (basically, until your child's legs get too long).

Mookie Steer n Grow Trike

Unlike regular three-wheeler bikes, they are close to the ground, which makes them stable and feel more secure to a young child. Plus they come with a rod which you can fix or remove from the back. This allows you to control your child's speed and direction, without having to bend down behind them. It also enables your child to enjoy your guarding presence from a greater distance.

The Mookie Steer 'n Grow trike has full metal construction, comes with harness, pedals, and has a parental control handle. It also has foot rests so your child can safely put his or her feet back instead of peddling madly when you are walking them along at your speed!

Once your child feels confident, you can unclick the parent handle and use the Mookie as a regular tricycle.

The RRP is £39.99, and you can find out more at www.mookietoys.com.
