SmarTrike, SmarTfold 700 8 in 1 review*

At the start of the year we were kindly gifted this amazing little tikes trike for little Olivia to put to the test. With the British weather being what it was, its only been recently we have been able to get out and test drive the SmarTrike SmartTfold 700 8 in 1, and I will give you a hint, we are very impressed!

As a mum of three  I need to carry anything and everything with me when I leave the house, so one feature that was a huge bonus for me was the large storage bag and compartment for water bottles, phone etc near the handle bars. Both compartments are attached to the trike and very spacious, giving me enough room to take all the essentials I need without the need for my changing bag.

The smarTfold trike is from 6 months all the way up to 3 years, and enables you to have a parent facing mode during those younger months and can be spun round when they are a little older. when in parent facing mode the seat reclines, allowing baby to sleep and the storage bag doubles as a foot rest. It comes with a 5 point safety harness and bar that goes across the baby, giving complete security for baby and peace of mind for parents.

I love that this trike can grow with your baby/toddler until they reach the age where they would be ready for a standard bike. The trike has a very comfortable and padded seat, has an extendable sun shade canopy and has a foot rest for baby when in the front facing mode until they reach an age where they are ready for the peddles.

Another feature that I think really makes this strike stand out ( along with all the things I have mentioned above) is the option to have parent control over the steering or child control steering. Simply swap around the wheel and you can rest in the knowledge that your child won't suddenly  do a sharp right turn taking you in to the busy main road when out and about. You have complete control if needed and even in parent control mode, little one can still move and "steer" their trike making them think they are in control..win win if you ask me!

Olivia loves her trike and it has made dog walks, school runs and trips to the park that more enjoyable. Since she turned a year old I have found she gets a little bored in her pram at times, and the Trike gives her that extra bit of stimulation, allowing us all to have a more enjoyable and peaceful outing. 

It is so easy to build, no tools are required and each area that can be adjusted or moved is in red, making it really easy to use and transition to different modes. It is compact fold and comes with a great travel bag, making it ideal for travelling or keeping it in the car. The bag is a huge space saver and everything neatly folds up inside.

I have been so impressed with the Smartrike 700 SmarTfold 8 in 1 trike. It really is in a league of its own with all its features, compact fold and the ability to grow with your child. The smart trike 700 SmarTfold 8 in 1 gets a huge 10 out of 10 from Olivia and I. To purchase one for your little one click here. I would highly reccomend this trike to anyone considering purchasing one for their baby/toddler.
