Gifts to get your kid rolling!

April 16, 2007 by Paul Banas Leave a Comment

Are you a dad whose kid feels the need for speed? Here is GreatDads list of must have bikes, skates and ride ons.

Rock, Roll & Ride XL trike

A sturdy trike with three fun ways to ride! Lock the base in place for ride-on, rocking fun. As your child grows, the base converts to an extra-long push handle so you can comfortably stroll behind while they learn to pedal. When they’re ready to ride on their own, the handle comes off, the seat adjusts, and the foot pegs fold up for easy independent pedaling. And they’re off!

Features also include a sturdy rear tipping bucket, parental control steering lock system that locks handlebars into place for parental guidance when using a push-bar, and an auto-freewheel function that allows children to rest their feet on the pedals while being guided by the push-bar. Komfy-ride air tires ensure superior performance, road-gripping traction and responsive maneuvering.

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.
