Gear: This little bug is just right for baby
The Scramble Bug from QuickSmart may be the thing for the traveling toddler.
The sturdy ride-on starter bike looks like a big wacky insect, with four double wheels for “feet,” and handlebars rising from a bug-eyed plastic “head” like antennae. The double wheels rotate 360 degrees, so junior can steer the insect forward, backward or in circles.
The bug-cycle folds nearly flat (about 28 by 14 by 6 inches) for storage and transport, and weighs just 6.4 pounds.
It’s designed for children ages 1 to 3, comes in four colors and can be used inside or out. Also available in a tricycle model, called the Scuttle Bug.
Scramble Bug is $59.99; Scuttle Bug, $49.99.
