When buying the first transport for babies, it is necessary to focus on many factors, because comfort depends on the characteristics of the device while walking both the child and the parent. Doona bikes are considered the best in their niche. In the article we will consider the pros and cons of children's products, make a review of the model range and tell you how to fold and unfold them.
Description
Doona presents a completely new, innovative children's tricycle that has won the hearts of many parents. The universal model is very compact and literally grows with the child. High quality standards, modern design, safety during skiing - all this characterizes Liki Trike products. Perhaps the main advantage of this bike, distinguishing it from other three-wheeled models, is the ability to fold it if necessary.
When folded, the transport is very compact, which, combined with a light weight of 6.7 kg, allows you to take the bike to any place.
Liki Trike will fit in the trunk of any car, you can even take it with you as your hand luggage on the plane and put it under the seat. The product will not take up much space in the home storage cabinet. Thanks to the unique mechanism developed by Doona engineers, the bike folds and disassembles in a matter of seconds, which is especially important for mothers who do not have assistants and who have to hold the child in their arms before landing on the bike.
Stylish futuristic design of the product provides not only an attractive look while walking, but also practical use is great. Every detail is thought out to the smallest detail for convenient use.For the manufacture of products, high-quality materials are used that contribute to the strength of children's vehicles and a long service life. The design is made of stainless aluminum, which is responsible for the strength, reliability and light weight of the device. Polyurethane foam wheels provide a comfortable ride even over bumps and high bike maneuverability.
The plus is the ability to independently adjust each Liki Trike part to fit your needs. The seatback is adjustable both in height and in tilt. It can have three positions that can be switched at the touch of a button. Three- or five-point seat belts can be removed as desired. Additional pedals used as a footrest can be removed or raised up.
The parent handle for controlling the bike is adjustable in height. With it, you can switch between pedals, steering wheel and parental controls as needed.
This product is touted by the Doona brand as 5 in 1 and has five uses.
- First. It provides maximum safety for a baby aged 10-18 months. The high backrest, seat belts and bumper are responsible for safety and prevent the child from falling. The foot pedals are transformed into the footboard, and the rectangular hood protects against sunlight and rain. The parent handle allows you to control the bike.
- Second. This option is intended for children 1.5-2 years old and is similar to the first. The protective bumper can be removed, the hood, if necessary, too. The pedals are set to the front position so that the child can learn how to twist them. The children's steering wheel here is still locked, as the kids of this age still do not know how to drive their own vehicles.
- Third. Children 2–2.5 years old fully use the pedals and partially use the steering. At this stage, it is fashionable to remove seat belts if the child is confidently holding.
- Fourth. Children over 2.5 years old can safely use Liki Trike themselves. They independently use the wheel and do not need the help of parents. The pushing handle can be removed and the backrest can be set to the lowest level.
- Fifth. The last stage of use involves the folded state of Doona children's vehicles. It can be freely positioned in the trunk of a car, at home or on vacation.
It should be noted that all the company's products are ISO certified and have been tested to comply with European toy safety standards EN-71 and ANSI Z315.1.
Of the minuses of children's bikes Liki Trike is worth highlighting too high a price for the product that the baby will use from 10 months to 3-4 years. This design will be an addition to the stroller, but not a replacement. However, high quality and long service life will allow you to transfer the bike to a younger family member or resell it.
