Spent the weekend trying to clear out the garage and realized the kids have completely outgrown their old tricycles. We finally moved them up to balance bikes. Also realized my own bike lights were dead, which is sketchy since drivers around here are...
Picked this for the youngest mainly because it’s really lightweight. Makes a big difference on longer walks, especially when they get tired and you end up carrying it home.
