We introduced the 3yr old to her first pedal bike today. She's nailing the balance bike but still a bit short to ride her new Isla so took her out with the followme for the first time also. She absolutely bloody loved it! Brilliant bit of kit, and the muddy fox worked like a charm pulling it. Asking her to pull her rear v brake is almost as effective as pulling both my cantilevers amusingly, but they are just about adequate. We only did about 20 mins doing laps of the local park but given how much she liked it I can definitely see some cool summer days out with her coming up. Next need to try it all with the Hamax baby seat fitted, so I can put the 6 month old on the back too. I'm rapidly becoming one of those Eco bike types I used to point and snigger at when a teen, but I love the concept now.
