For Sydney's birthday she got this "pipe" as her Papa calls it from her grandparents. Since it was not a cheap item & neither grandparent wanted to feel like all they gave her for her birthday was a pipe, they made it a joint gift. They may not have felt that they were giving her much, but SHE LOVES IT!!! I must say I am rather fond of the item as well.
It attaches her bike to mine, lifts her front wheel off the ground, but still allows her to pedal (& brake). We hooked it up last weekend & she now wants to bike any opportunity she can. The great thing about Jason being in school in the morning & Sydney not going until the afternoon is that we can do fun stuff like this. It also gives me a good excuse to not rush & get showered before dropping Jason off since I definitely need a shower after pulling Sydney around.
Since she cannot have her training wheels on when we are biking together, the added bonus is her interest in getting rid of her training wheels completely. Her balance has improved significantly since the first time we went out with the Trail Gator, but not quite enough to get her going on two wheels alone. I've tried to help her with this skill development, but I think Brad does it much better.
