4-in-1 Stroll & Grow TEKtrike

 I’m about to become a very popular grandpa.  Better yet, I’m about to become very popular for a long time-try for at least six years!

“How so?” you may ask.

I owe my newfound popularity to V-tech--specifically to V-tech’s ‘4-in-1 Stroll & Grow TEKtrike’.

Finally a toy that grows as your child does.  Starting out a nine months of age the TEKtrike, grows and changes as your child does-all the way to six years old-or maybe older!

Here’s what you get.

At Stage 1 Stroll most little tikes have yet to walk and depend on mom and dad to push them around in a stroller.  How boring!

Liven things up a bit by using the TEKtrike’s Stage I Stroll configuration.  Kids 9 to 18 months sit in a high-back seat that also includes a 3-point safety harness.  It’s even adjustable to four positions and comes with removable wraparound safety bar with cup holder.

Mom or dad provides the horsepower using the height-adjustable push-handle. 
Youngster hold tight to the handlebars, prop their feet on the removable footrest and enjoy the ride of their life!

An adjustable canopy protects children from the sun and rain.

A small console situated on the handlebars features an interactive panel with an LED screen and sounds and voices appropriate for each stage of a child’s development. Batteries are included.

Children can push the horn, turn the ignition switch, shift the gear knob and hear funny sound effects.  It’s a great interactive center that develops children’s motor skills and eye/hand coordination.

Remove the extended seat back, safety bar and footrest and the TEKtrike transforms into the Train Stage 2 configuration for ages 18 to 24 months.

Youngsters learn how to use the TEKtrike’s pedals, move the handlebars on their own, while still being guided when necessary by mom or dad.  Both the canopy and push-handle are still attached.

In the Ride Stage 3 level for ages 2 to 4 years, children go into full tricycle mode with no canopy, safety bar or seatbelts.  At this stage children should wear helmets (not included).

Children are in full control and quickly learn how to steer, pedal (and listen to the pedal music) and direction sensors tell them when they turn right or left.

As with all levels the TEKtrike is easy to maneuver with its swiveling rear wheels, includes a storage area and is easy to keep stationary using its pedal lock so children can get on and off the TEKtrike without falling.

Stage 4 for to six years of age is called the Drift stage and with it children can do all sorts of wild and crazy maneuvers including gliding, spinning and turning a full 360 degrees!

The TEKtrike is made of heavy duty plastic and metal and is a snap to assemble using the easy-to-follow instructions-even and adult can do it!

It’s a great toy that will last kids for years, even through their rough and tumble stage. 

Like all of V-tech’s toys the TEKtrike is safe, made with the highest quality materials, tested for toughness and is guaranteed to bring a smile to any kid's face.


I can’t wait for my grandson to try it out!
