Has anyone experience with these?
Especially with the wooden Mocka ones.

we just bought our wee girl a Wishbone Bike/Trike and she loved it when she tried it in the store. Shes only 17months and we wanted one with the trike option. It converts to a balance bike.

My 2yr old son loves his!! He is a big boy tho (average 3yr old size) and was nearly to small for it - even tho they advertise as suitable from 2.

They are awesome and he picked it up so quickly! Loads of fun now

My son who is almost 3 loves his :) the mocka ones come in different sizes, i think we got a medium. He is in the 80th % for height and the seat is on the lowest setting :)

Cool thanks. I ordered the Urban, which is the smallest bike. My girl is only 25 months but quite tall, so will see how that goes. Even if it's too big now we can leave it for a bit and try again in a few months time.

Please be aware that with the wishbone bikes/trikes you need to keep an eye on the front wheel assembly and regularly tighten the bolts, otherwise the work loose over time and the front wheel falls off. Ultimately you could glue the side that is working loose, but I'd love to see Wishbone resolve this issue (reverse thread needed on one side.)

I've also recently returned my child's 3-in-1 to get them to replace the top bolt on the seat post with a thicker one. The original had bent so bad it was near impossible to get out. Apparently mine is the first that has come back with this problem - but worth keeping an eye on yours too: look at the heads of the bolt and capping screw, if they aren't sitting flush with the wood and/or the seat feels loose, then it may be bent.

And I can't stress enough - check those front wheels regularly!
