Everytime Caleb’s jie-jie rides her tricycle or her training-wheeled bicycle he’d come up from behind and gladly be pushing her. Never has he asked to be riding it, even though he has Caitlin to see as an example.
So, since the tricycle is broken from regular wear and tear (I actually think it’s because Caitlin is growing and her weight actually broke the structure!) they’ve only been able to ride/push the bigger bike, which is left at my mum’s, on weekends when we visit.
Also, we thought since her jie-jie is able to ride around now, why not have the means for him to join her.
This is what we have gotten for Caleb.
It looks like a pretty interesting design- you’ll see that there are detachable handles that can be used for both pushing and guiding, assuming he doesn’t peddle too fast!
Caleb doesn’t know it yet, nor does he understand the concept of Christmas presents. I wonder if he wonders what they big wrapped box under Grandma’s tree actually contains!

Sorry for the late reply; we had only just returned from overseas
Yes, the bike can be found at Toys R ‘Us.
Caleb, being “uninitiated” about Christmas, was all too happy playing with other people’s wrapping paper and presents before the bike was assembled and him being helped onto it, where he obviously found it to be quite a lot of fun
Caitlin however, started saying she now wants that bike/present, when she herself wanted a scooter during the same purchase- and did get one. We have to manage her expectations, since she’s already got a tricycle too from over a year ago.
