Wishbone Bike (3-in-1 Wooden)

The Wishbone is the three-in-one ride-on that genuinely delivers on the promise. Configures as a trike (12–18 months, three wheels for stability), then a balance bike (18 months–3 years, two wheels with feet on ground), then a kick-back walker (3–5 years, larger frame). Birch frame, rubber tyres, adjustable seat. New Zealand designed. Around $250. The kind of investment that lasts the full pre-pedal-bike window.
