Sammy got this tricycle for Christmas in 2003. It cost way too much money, and he was afraid to ride it. You never know when your three wheeled vehicle might unexpectedly flip over, possibly maiming you for life. While the other kids zoomed around our cul-de-sac on bikes, Sammy would get his little folding chair from the garage and watch them with me. For Christmas 2004, we got him a helmet. Suddenly the trike was safe! He rides it all over the place now. He has stopped using the attached seat belt - you can see it hanging down into the basket. Also of note is the big handle coming out of the back. That's for when you go to the local park with Grandma, and get tired of pedaling, so she can just push you back home. Ah, the life of a toddler.
