Baby Got Bike

Wishbone Three-in-One Bike

Your garage is a wasteland of plastic vehicles from holidays past. If you had one wish, it would be to find a ride that lasts.

Consider it granted with Wishbone, a beautifully designed pre-peddler bike that grows with your child. It starts as a simple trike (for 1-year-olds), morphs into a small ride-on (for 2- to 3-year-olds), and flips into a larger two-wheeler (for 4- to 5-year-olds).

The Kiwi design is crafted from sustainably managed wood, nontoxic ink, and recycled plastic.

See? Nothing goes to waste.
