It’s natural for younger brothers and sisters to emulate their older siblings. They admire the advantages and freedoms that older kids enjoy – a later bedtime, more responsibility, cool friends, etc. As soon as kids learn how to ride a bicycle, they want to go exploring the neighborhood; younger kids get left behind.
With a tricycle, young children get a valuable head start before trying out a bike with training wheels. They also acquire a taste for the freedom of the “open road,” even if that just means the sidewalk directly in front of the house. Most importantly, kids tricycle make small children feel more equal in the eyes of their older siblings. They can take the trike out for a spin even as older brother or sister tears around the neighborhood on a two-wheeler.
