My then 18 month old (Finn) didn't show much interest at first until his 3 year old brother had ago.
Then it happened. He was trying to scoot around the house but had not quite mastered it. We left it out for him and he kept going back to it and trying. He got there and he now rides everyday on it and at a pace.
It is great when he fetchs his brother with his grandad from the school bus, he scoots down no problems.
The only downside is we do a lot of walking on trials at weekends and it is not possible for him to scoot it around.Off road wheels needed!!!
But it is light enough just to put in the top of the pushchair and for Finn to lift up himself. You only have to ask him where his bike is and he goes and gets on his toddlebike.
Overall we are impressed with the Toddlebike and hope it has taught him some skills ready for his balance bike at Christmas.It will interesting seeing the transtion from Toddlebike to Balance bike.

The Bike Radar Toddlebike Trial is a project currently running involving 45 Bike Radar Forum members who, with the help of their 18-24 month old Toddler, have been asked to test a Toddlebike for a month over a range of terrains indoor and out and then share their findings 'warts and all' on the original Forum.
