smarTrike Xtend Ride-On
As a mum, I’m always on the lookout for toys that are not only fun but also practical, long-lasting, and encourage my little one to be active. The smarTrike Xtend Ride-On has been an absolute game-changer! From the moment we got it, my child was hooked, and I love how it seamlessly grows with them—lasting all the way from toddlerhood to the pre-teen years!
At 12 months, it started as a parent-controlled ride-on, giving my little one the joy of being on the move while still under my watchful eye. The transition to a scooter was effortless, and it’s amazing how one product can adapt to each stage of childhood. The fact that I don’t have to keep buying new ride-ons and scooters as they grow is a huge plus—it’s built to last, making it such a worthwhile investment.
The safety features are a big highlight for me. The LED wheels, sturdy design, and rear brake give me peace of mind, knowing my child is safe while having fun. Plus, the built-in storage is a lifesaver for keeping snacks and little essentials close at hand!
Most importantly, this ride-on has encouraged my child to spend more time outdoors, stay active, and develop essential motor skills—all while having an absolute blast. It’s been the perfect way to get outside more, enjoy family time, and create wonderful memories together.
I highly recommend the smarTrike Xtend Ride-On to any parent looking for a durable, adaptable, and fun way to keep their little one moving and engaged for years to come. It’s a product that truly grows with your child and makes outdoor adventures even more exciting

At 3+ years it’s time to scoot! No need for frustrating transitions, little ones will be riding their own scooter in seconds! Simply replace the handlebar, remove the seat/tank and watch little ones scoot off into the sunset. Take on the toughest terrain with LED wheels 20% larger than its competitors and a handy rear brake, ensuring kids have all the safety features they need on their adventures!
