Canuck cuteness - Tested by 3-year-old Elliot, and dad Greg Leech of Toronto, this Louis Garneau Triumph and Queue de Félix push handle trike features a wooden deck, steel frame and tires that don’t leave marks on the floor. Why our readers love it: “Elliot is very comfortable riding very fast, faster than on other models. He likes that he can pedal backwards on it, something that not all trikes with push handles allow.” Best age 1½–3 years, price $80; push bar, $25
