Radio Flyer Steer and Stroll Trike
A Radio Flyer Steer and Stroll Trike is great for development in all areas!
Speech/Articulation: Use the tricycle as reinforcement: have the child practice a few sounds and then get a turn on the tricycle.
Language: Using commands like stop/go, fast/slow, requesting, and naming items you see while outside are all ways that language can be enhanced while riding a tricycle.
Fine Motor/Visual Motor: Grasping handles and ringing the bell will help your child develop fine and visual motor skills.
Sensory: Sensory development is important for children and riding a tricycle will help with tactile input when on the sidewalk, proprioceptive input by pedaling, and vestibular input to maintain balance.
Gross Motor: Motor coordination for pedaling with alternating feet will help your child practice their gross motor skills.
