The Coolest Ride
Remember how your old bike took you everywhere? Now your wee one can follow in your footsteps. The Tiny Tots Plus 2-In-1 Tricycle and Balance Bike, available in natural bamboo and coloured birchwood, is made from an eco-friendly, replenishable resource. Your child can start using it as a tricycle and eventually transform it into a 2-wheel balance bike configuration. Another great option for toddlers looking to go cruising is the Kinder Scooter!To properly honour the 80's and 90's vibes of your youth, we’d recommend adding a basket. This provides a convenient place to store all the tasty treats you'll find at the artisan markets you'll be taking them to (you know you can't resist). For safety, don't forget to pick up a helmet too.

Crafted from a mixture of pine and plywood, it comes with multiple pods, cups, spoons, plates, cookies, and even to-go cups so they can send their happy customers on their merry way!
If you are picking up a vibe that your babe will be more of a tea drinker, never fear, the Tenderleaf Wooden Tea Tray Set also serves up a healthy serving of adorable.
