Ever since Zuul started walking, I immediately found she wasn't happy sitting for very long. Shopping with her in tow suddenly became a problem. She complained about being in the stroller and she squirmed when I wore her.
Enter the trike-stroller. As soon as I strap her into it, she becomes a Woo Girl, with the exception of the booze, of course (although there is a handy cup holder in the back on ours... Just saying mom & dad.) Once we move, she starts smiling, woo-hooing and waving and is content to sit quietly in there until she gets tired. Try taking her out too soon and a tantrum is imminent.
There are a variety of models from various manufacturers. The one pictured above is the one Grandma and Grandpa picked up for her birthday for I think about $80 on sale. The drawbacks are that the little basket in the back will collapse if filled with heavy items and, while there is a uv screen, there's nothing to protect from the rain, making rainy day errands even more miserable because it stays home.
The one's I've seen say from 9 months and up. Like a stroller, it's equipped with both bars and a seatbelt harness to hold the wee one in and will grow with your pre-toddler/toddler, eventually transforming to an independent tricycle.
Money well spent. Good job, Grandma.
