Which Wonder is right for your child?

Three stroller trikes, one idea. Each converts from a parent-pushed stroller to a trike your child rides themselves. What changes is how early they can start and how comfortable the ride stays over a long day.

Which Wonder for which age?

The most useful question to start with, because the right answer changes completely depending on whether your child can sit up on their own yet.

6 monthsWonder max

At 6 months most babies cannot sit unaided, so they need a seat that reclines. The Wonder max is the only model in the range that does, dropping back to 140°. The Wonder and Wonder+ are not suitable this early.

See the Wonder max

1 yearAny of the three

By around 10 months to a year, all three fit. Choose on how long your outings are. Short walks favour the Wonder at 5.9 kg. Long days in the sun favour the Wonder+. Children who still nap on the move favour the Wonder max.

2 yearsWonder or Wonder+

A confident two year old will spend most of the time pedalling rather than being pushed, so the recline matters less. The Wonder is the lightest and cheapest. Add the Wonder+ canopy if you are outdoors in strong sun.

How it works

One trike, four stages

Every Wonder converts through the same four modes. You are not buying a pram, then a first trike, then a balance bike. You are buying one product that changes shape four times.

Stage one

Stroller mode

Your child is harnessed and fully supported, the footrest is down, the pedals are locked, and you steer from the parent handle. It behaves like a compact stroller, because that is what it is certified as.

When to use it: from 6 months on the Wonder max, from 10 months on the Wonder and Wonder+, until they can hold the handlebars comfortably.

Stage two

Trike mode

The handlebars go on and your child holds them, but you keep control through the parent handle. They get the feeling of riding without needing the coordination for it yet, which is usually where the interest starts.

When to use it: once they sit confidently and reach the handlebars, often around 12 to 15 months.

Stage three

Training mode

The pedals unlock and your child powers the trike themselves while you still guide direction from behind. This is the stage that builds leg strength and the pedalling motion they will carry to a bike.

When to use it: once their feet reach the pedals and they start pushing on their own, commonly around 18 months to 2 years.

Stage four

Free riding

The parent handle comes off and the trike is entirely theirs to steer and pedal. You walk alongside. By this point it has replaced a stroller, a push trike and a first ride-on, which is the whole argument for buying one.

When to use it: once they steer and pedal confidently, typically from around 2 years to 3.

Shared across the range

What every Wonder is built on

Whichever model you choose, these are standard. They are also the reason a Wonder costs more than a supermarket trike.

Patented 360° steering

One-handed control that turns on the spot and reverses smoothly through corners, so you can push, turn and carry something at the same time. It is patented, and it is the feature the whole range was designed around.

Certified as a stroller, not a toy

Every Wonder is tested to stroller safety standards rather than toy standards, which is the higher bar in child mobility products. That includes a 5-point harness on all three models.

Patented shock-absorbing front wheel

Takes the jolt out of kerbs, tram tracks and cracked footpaths. It is why a Wonder rides smoothly on surfaces that make a rigid trike rattle, and why a sleeping child tends to stay asleep.

3 second fold

No tools, nothing to detach, and it stands up on its own once folded. All three models fold to roughly the same footprint, small enough for a boot with the shopping still in it.

Lightweight aluminium frame

Every model in the range is under 7 kg, from 5.9 kg on the Wonder to 6.95 kg on the Wonder max. Light enough to lift one-handed with a child on your hip.

2 year Australian warranty

Every smarTrike sold in Australia carries a 2 year warranty, in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Free shipping Australia-wide from our Melbourne warehouse.

And if you want the short answer

Our pick: the Wonder max

It is the only one that reclines to 140°, so your child can actually fall asleep in it, and the only one that starts at 6 months. Choose the Wonder or Wonder+ instead if your child is already sitting up unaided and you want the lightest possible carry.
