Introducing smarTfold by smarTrike
Saturday, September 30, 2017
A while back, I shared with you my thoughts on a super chic 4-in-1 tricycle by smarTrike. It was right around the time my youngest nephew was born and my niece, his sister, was about 30 months old. It goes without saying that the versatility of a 4-in-1 is so practical and definitely helps you stretch your dollar. I had first assembled it as a training bike for my niece and then my brother could transform it to Stage 1 once my nephew turned 10-months-old. Brilliant, right? Well, today I share with you how smarTrike has taken their innovation even further with their new smarTfold 500, a revolutionary fully foldable, portable combination stroller and trike, now available in Canada.
The smarTfold Trike is the ultimate portable multi-phase stroller and trike for children 9m-36m. Available exclusively at Toys R Us and Babies R Us throughout Canada for $229.99, the versatile smarTfold trike is the latest game changer from smarTrike, which features Touch Steering that provides smooth maneuverability, even with one hand. What makes smarTfold so unique is that it is 85% smaller when folded for travelling, transporting or storage, making it the world’s most compact folding trike.
Unlike the smarTrike Chic, it comes mostly assembled in its folded state and it took me approximately five minutes to fully assemble it for the 9m stage, seen in the first photo above. I love that it has a storage bag at the back and a tray that easily mounts to the handlebar to store baby's bottle.
I haven't had to fold a stroller for travel in quite some time but it was fairly intuitive with the smarTfold and the mesh cover keeps everything in its place with a top flap that has hook-and-loop fasteners. While in folding mode, you can adjust the handle to your preferred height, making it perfect for travel, or you can lower it all the way, making it ideal for storage in cars, planes or even cluttered closets. It is heavier than I thought it would be but, luckily, it has a roller that allows you pull your smarTfold alongside you while folded.
If I were to ever have a third child, this smarTfold would definitely be on my baby registry. Its quick-click design enables folding the trike, while it stays intact, just like a stroller and, in just a few clicks, you're ready to go. Plus, it will grow with your child, providing the ideal ride at every stage of their growth, from 6-months to 3-years. The smarTfold is a true winner in my books!
