The SmarTrike Traveler Active Stroller instantly transforms from a comfortable infant stroller to a thrilling toddler trike at the push of a button. Made for the most active of little ones, the Traveler is the perfect companion for all kinds of adventures, from smooth city pavements to bumpy, muddy parks.

The SmarTrike is designed to help grow your child’s independence, helping them to graduate from their stroller, to navigating their own trails and pedalling their own tricycle.

Practically, the SmarTrike Active Stroller is durable and made to grow with your child, the extendable seat, integrated leg rest and a variety of removable features ensures a perfect fit at every stage from six months to four years. The large front reel has shock absorber technology to guarantee a smooth ride whatever the terrain – so you and your toddler will be ready to tackle all kinds of adventures.

Safety is key, and the Traveler boasts a five-point harness, integrated bumper bar and a wrist strap for extra security while your little one zooms away. The Traveler isn’t just a stroller, it’s a transformative experience waiting to unfold.

Don’t just take it from us, hear from one of our parent testers – and their little adventurer – about what they think…

The SmarTrike Traveler Active Stroller arrived well packaged in a great sized box, with no extra unnecessary packaging making it more sustainable. When opening the box, the stroller was packaged in its travel bag (which I thought was excellent with being compact) alongside a user guide at the bottom of the box.

The stroller is very easy to assemble together, I only had to assemble a few parts and the user's guide provided were simple to follow with the diagrams. Collapsing the stroller back down is extremely easy to do too and it fits into its travel bag which has access to a shoulder strap to carry around to be hands free. Due to the stroller being extremely compact in its travel bag, it’s comfortable to carry and it only takes up a small amount of space in the boot of our car, which is a bonus.

We used the stroller during our daily walks and also a few times whilst I went shopping which was absolutely amazing and kept my son thoroughly entertained playing with the trike handle bars pretending it was a motorbike, he was moving the handle bars, making motorbike sounds and lots of laughing.

I love that it’s so practical, stylish, 4 in 1, compact and even though it’s small it’s very smooth to push on all types of areas we went, which is a joy to push.

It has 360° front wheel which is a shock absorber.

My son had so much fun over the last few weeks, he seemed happy and comfortable. I loved the integrated leg rests which can easily be changed to the removal pedals, even though my son wasn’t quite tall enough to reach the pedals, he’s 20 months old and 83cm tall. We’re excited for the future for when my son will be tall enough to be able to peddle by himself, although we did go out several times with the pedals attached which my son also loved because he was able to have his legs dangling down instead of resting on the leg rests. The lock/ unlock front wheel is a great feature giving my son some control with moving the trike handlebars yet without compromising my ability to take charge of what direction we’re going.

The large zip pocket on the stroller is great because it fits quite a lot of things in, allowing easy access, whilst still having space free under the pram if I needed to us it.

The 5-point harness made me feel confident in that my son is safe and secure and it was easy to secure my son in, my son was comfortable and it’s great that it’s magnetic, which makes it much easier and less fiddly.

The only downfall with the SmarTrike traveler active stroller I would say is that it doesn’t have a function that the seat can be moved forward, which would enable my son to be able to touch the pedals at this perfect age, and when folding the pram down at times the metal rods which are located in the canopy would detach from the holes causing the canopy to be detached and having to assemble it back together again, but to be honest I think this may be a common problem with quite a lot of compacted strollers which fold down very small.

Overall, the SmarTrike traveler active stroller is absolutely brilliant, and I’d recommend it to other parents, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed the weeks of using the stroller and love it, I’m looking forward to using it more. I personally feel that it’s great value for money when considering it’s a 4-1 stroller trike which transforms into the growing stages of a baby/toddler until they’re around 4 years old.
