It is called the Oko by Italtrike and it is the coolest tricycle ever! The first time that I saw it I really liked it, but after using it and testing it out a little, I love it! Where do I start? The super mod Italian design, its’ great functionality, safety features, or high
-quality construction? It’s a very well rounded product and one that you are sure to be very happy with.
One really fun thing about it is that it has replaced our stroller now when we go to the zoo or out on a walk! I can steer it pretty easily and Isabella has a LOT more fun than being strapped into a stroller! I love that this toy will be with us for a while too. The parent handle bar thingie adjusts it’s height for your comfort, but is also removable once they can steer on their own. The seat adjusts for height and the three point safety harness can also be removed completely. One thing that we found about the safety harness is that rather than doing the over-the-shoulders style, I put them around her waist. I think that for really little ones it is more secure.
It comes in blue and orange and is sure to please. It even won the prestigious 2007 Top Toy of the Year honor, in the ride-on category, awarded by Creative Child Magazine ! As stated on www.italtrike.com , “The Oko Tricycle was conceived from a study of child ergonomics and was designed with comfort and safety in mind.”
I can attest to the truth of this statement after using ours. They really did a fantastic job! They are one of our Favorite Things, and soon to be one of yours!
I was able to receive some special pricing information for all of you too! The Oko retails for $199.99 and is worth every cent, BUT if you go to www.babyuniverse.com you can save $87 and get it for only $112.99!!! That is the absolute best price out there and it is SURE to be a big hit under the Christmas Tree! Please come back to leave your comments about your experience after you get yours!
