My three-year-old twin boys are quickly leaving toddlerhood behind and becoming, well, just…boys. Sigh.
While they desperately want to be “big”, their bodies haven’t quite caught up to their desires. They may want to ride the two-wheeled bikes and scooters but their time has not yet come. (Though the littlest one is doing his damnedest to figure out the whole two-wheel thing. And he’s frighteningly close.)
In the meantime, we’ve discovered the newest generation of Radio Flyer ride-on and outdoor toys. They’re made very well. Are nicely designed. And are withstanding the daily beating of not only my little guys but also often my eight-year-old and seven-year-old too.
We have the three-wheeled scooter (x2). Sturdy and foldable, I often throw these in the back of my SUV to take to the playground.
We also have the officially-named “Radio Flyer Big Flyer with Safety Flag” (x2). But we call them the Big Wheels. Because, duh, it’s a Big Wheel. I’m a child of the ’70s and what child of that era didn’t love his or her Big Wheel? (Note: 21st century Big Wheels do not have the dangerous yet super-fun hand brake on the back right wheel that helped you spin out like a mad man…bummer. I mean, how very responsible and safe.)
