Fisher Price Charisma 3-in-1 Trike Review

AD

Recently my one year old was lucky to be sent a Fisher Price Charisma 3-in-1 trike to review. When the box arrived it was fairly small and lightweight (perfect for wrapping up for Christmas). It was super quick and simple to build with easy to follow instructions.

The quality of the Fisher Price trike is fantastic with a lightweight metal frame, secure plastic seat unit, rubber wheels and lots of fantastic storage space. This trike has lots of little extra features too such as padded harness straps and seat covers (which are washable), footrests for younger children who can not reach the peddles yet and soft easy grip handlebars and adjustable canopy. As well as a reclining seat, built in suspension and the option to easily swap from parent steering to child steering. 

The full features of the trike are 

• It manoeuvre's like a stroller

• Has touch steering handle

• Built-in suspension (for a less bumpy ride)

• High backed reclining padded seat

• Flip down footrests

• Lightweight

• Lots of storage 

• Navigation button on mudguard (to switch from parent to child steering)

• 3 stages so it will last from 10 months to 3 years.

• Comfortable for baby and parent.

As soon as my son seen the trike he wanted to get in it, he has just turned 15 months old and he still fits into the trike in the first stage mode no problem at all. He is still a bit too small to reach the peddles, although he did keep trying, so the flip down footrests was ideal for him. He looked really comfortable in the seat unit. The harness was really secure and looked comfortable and was just like a pushchair harness. 

Pushing the trike was super easy. I also found that it seemed to be a really smooth ride with no bumping around, thanks to the in-built suspension. Switching from parent steering to child steering was again really easy to do and was a great feature as I could control which direction we went in. I also found pushing the trike up and down curbs and steps really easy as the trike is so lightweight, even with a toddler in. 

I liked the fact that this trikes seat reclines really easily too.  I think the little storage bag on the handle and the little basket on the back of the trike make great additions as they are great for storing wipes and drinks if you are popping to the park or the local shops etc. It also gets a big thumbs up for the seat covers being washable as we all know how messy toddlers can be. 

 I think that this trike looks great, is very practical, pushes like a dream, is lightweight and most important of all it is comfortable and fun for little ones. I like how you can buy this for a 10 month old and it will last until they are 3 years old, transforming from the first stage trike to a training trike and then a independent trike as the child grows. 

I think that any little one would love this trike and it would make the perfect gift this Christmas. The Fisher Price Charisma 3-in-1 trike has a RRP of £74.99 but currently has £10 off at Smyths.
