JoovyTricycoo UL Kids Folding Push Tricycle, 8 Stages, Sonoran Pronghorn National Park Foundation Edition and Gift Set-Plush Toy, Placemat & Book

It’s so pretty and very easy to work

Once you get used to it, easy to unfold and then pack away. Fits compactly in my car. Which I love. I also like the color and decals. It does come with a book and stuffed animal as advertised.There are lots of functionalities. Read facing, front facing, different leg/ feet settings. And once your little is ready, can be its own tricycle!NegativesWhen setting up, it can be fickle, make sure the seat is locked into place or the stroller won’t be stable.Also there are only 3 points of contact instead of the standard 4 so it’s not as study (ie can tip over easier like when moving up to a curb).

A kludge is a weird amalgam of parts put together to accomplish a specific purpose. The Joovy Tricycoo is an inhabitant of the kludge world of tricycle-strollers. Joovy is not alone in making a tricycle/stroller combination. Doona, SmarTrike, Rito and Radio Flyer also make stroller trikes. But with the TricyCoo, Joovy has advanced the design of their tricycle in significant ways toward the ease and usefulness of a stroller, making it a kind of brilliant kludge, though still a kludge.So how has this tricycle become more stroller-like?1) It can be used in a variety of configurarions--Back-facing baby carrier, just like a baby stroller, even reclinable--Front-facing baby carrier for older babies, with removable foot pegs and folding pedals so that the baby isn't struck by rotating pedals--Forward facing, still as basically a parentally-controlled stroller without and with operable pedals--Pure tricycle with a safety child seat and with a normal trike seat2) Folding! Crazy engineering to accomplish this, and requiring a number of steps, but hey, a collapsing stroller/trike.3) Reclining seat when used as stroller4) Adjustable height parent push handle5) Removable arm bars to secure baby in seat6) Canopy and basketOK, you have to specifically want to have your baby engage his own locomotive abilities when out and about in order to buy this trike. But in the end, it's an amazing feat of engineering, and with some children it's going to be a brilliant introduction to certain very powerful forms of initiative and inquisitiveness.What are downsides? There are a few. You can't use this as a system with a car seat. You can't use this as a double stroller. You are inviting your child to be more engaged when you might actually want your child less engaged--even asleep. But it's a very cool little thing nevertheless even though I suspect most of those who have this use it to augment a regular stroller rather than as a sole substitute.

I wanted to love the stroller trike. I spent extra money on this. With the excitement that I would be able to collapse it and put it back up right without too much difficulty. I was wrong. Not only is it a bit smaller than what I had anticipated. It’s next to impossible to lock it in the upright position. Those are the only two flaws that I have with this. I could have spent less on another stroller trike. Knowing it would not fold up as small and compact as this one does. I feel like I wasted money on this. 🤦‍♀️ Maybe it won’t be a big deal. Joovy please fix the locking issue. Anyone looking to buy the stroller trike keep in mind once you get it locked in the upright position don’t bother unlocking it. If you have the space to keep it upright all the time. As well as a smaller child this could be perfect for you.

Updating my review from 4 to 5 stars because we love it that much.Initially when we were using this product during the rear facing mode I felt like the steering was a bit jerky/delayed. Once my daughter was able to switch to forward facing, the issue resolved. So I’m not sure if there was an issue with how we had the rear mode assembled or if the rear facing steering is less than great, either way the forward facing mode is so great it erased all bad feelings I initially had about the product.I wish I would’ve had this product with my older kids. I feel like this would’ve saved me from all the pain/discomfort I experienced having to be bent over pushing a tricycle trying to get my kids to start pedaling. This push tricycle is essentially playing the long game of teaching your child how to ride a bike, and saving your back while doing it. It’s so easy to push/steer my three year old can do it. And because the handlebar is adjustable in the blink of an eye I can lower the handle so he can take over and take his sissy on a ride. My nine (almost ten) month old loves this. It’s comforts me, supportive, and provides adequate sun protection. My daughter has an absolute blast everytime she gets in this. The design is slim enough we can easily bring it indoors, and the wheels have not done any damage to ky wood floors. Easy to clean, easy to adjust, and fun to use. This is one item I would say it worth the splurge and would highly recommend getting ken for you baby.

I really love products like this that grow with your kids! From 6 months to 5 years, this goes from a stroller to trike with several stages as they grow both physically as well as gain motor skills. At any stage, this folds up very small, so it's great for small cars or traveling. I love the design - so practical and it feels safe, while being comfortable for your little one to ride! Super lightweight, so it's easy to carry, too.
