When it comes to family outings, the right gear can make all the difference. Enter the smarTrike Traveler, the world’s first active stroller that transforms into a trike at the push of a button. After taking it for a spin, we couldn’t wait to share why this innovative piece of kit is our top pick for fun and functionality on the go.
The smarTrike Traveler is more than just a stroller. It’s a game-changing 4-in-1 ride that seamlessly transforms from a compact stroller to a trike. It’s the ultimate adaptable companion as your child grows from 6 months to 4 years old. Tiny tots on the go will love embarking on their very own adventures thanks to the stroller’s many patent-protected features.
With the patent-protected 360° swivel wheel system and parent-and-child steering technology, your little explorer can feel like they’re in control of the journey, while you can still easily guide the way.
Forget consulting the manual; the Traveler is refreshingly intuitive to assemble. Its clever, click-in-place design means you can be ready to roll in minutes.

And when the time comes, attaching the included pedals is as simple as a quick click, turning the stroller into an exciting trike. It’s perfect for independent nursery runs, with the added bonus that when your little one gets tired, you can switch back to parental control and push all the way home.
The Traveler adapts to your child’s needs through four interchangeable stages, from a comfy stroller with a super soft reclining seat for naps, to a toddler trike with handlebars perfectly sized for little hands to grip and steer. This hands-on control supports the development of motor skills and coordination, encouraging active, independent play while offering a safe way to explore the world.
The Traveler’s technology is brilliantly balanced—it allows children to feel in charge of their ride while ensuring they can rest and nap as needed.
Comfort is key, especially for little ones on the move. The Traveler features a reclining seat (up to 160°), a removable leg rest, and a 5-point harness for safety and comfort. The handlebars are crafted from soft, quality faux leather, offering a gentle grip for small hands.
The Traveler’s innovative steering modes let you easily switch control between you and your child. This hands-on experience helps toddlers practice coordination and fosters a sense of independence, while giving you peace of mind knowing you can take over whenever needed.
Whether you’re weaving through busy streets, strolling across country paths or tackling woodland walks, the Traveler’s oversized 360° front wheel shock absorbers ensure a smooth and safe ride for your child. It’s a practical all-rounder designed for real family life.
Safety is a top priority, and the Traveler doesn’t disappoint. The 5-point harness and bumper bar keep your little one secure, while the UPF 50 sun canopy provides protection from the sun’s harmful rays. There’s a safety wrist strap, too. Simply loop the adjustable strap around your wrist before pushing off.

Lightweight and super nimble, the Traveler is ideal for active families who rely on public transport or need something easy to lift in and out of the car. The quick-fold mechanism and shoulder strap make carrying the Traveler a breeze when it’s not in use, and the spacious storage basket and zipped back pocket offer plenty of room for essentials. Whether you’re heading to the park, the school run, or away for the weekend, the Traveler fits in effortlessly.
The smarTrike Traveler isn’t just about getting from A to B—it’s about encouraging play, exploration, and independence. Whether they’re steering to nursery or cruising alongside siblings, the Traveler gives toddlers the thrill of control, while still offering the backup of parent steering when needed.
The Traveler’s durable design is made to withstand everyday adventures, bumps, and scrapes. My son loved his trike right up until school age—they really do take a beating—but the smarTrike Traveler is built to last, making it a smart, sustainable choice. Instead of investing in multiple products, this 4-in-1 system evolves with your child and saves you money in the long run.
The Traveler is ready for all kinds of weather with a brilliant range of accessories, including a rain cover, footmuff, cup holder, and handy organiser. Whatever your day throws at you, you’re good to go.
Are you ready to make every journey an adventure? The smarTrike Traveler is a fabulous way to keep your kid active. RRP: £339.15 with a two-year warranty.
