smarTrike x Kelly Anna – The Perfect Gift For You & Your Toddler
Exploring, stimulation and creativity is at the heart smarTrike, the leading babies and kids products brand, which has joined forces with world-renowned London artist and designer, Kelly Anna, to create a limited-edition, premium range of products which will deliver a one-of-a-kind experience to both kids and parents.
For over 17 years, smarTrike has promoted an active childhood, early engagement with surroundings and a continuous learning experience, all whilst adapting to the child’s needs and capabilities at every phase of their development.
The STR7, smarTrike’s flagship stroller trike, combines a traditional stroller with an independent tricycle, allowing children to enjoy the many benefits of triking, including steering, pedalling and navigating as early as they can sit upright.
Through the collaboration with Kelly Anna, smarTrike aims to bring to the forefront the additional benefit of visual stimulation to children. Children are on a continuous journey of exploration. When they go outside, their senses are more heightened and they are open to learning about the exciting world around them.
Kelly Anna’s unique designs reflect the excitement of early childhood exploration and development, bringing bold new stimuli for both parent and child. The limited-edition collaboration not only tells a story, but offers meaningful products which support children’s early developmental stages and fills their exploration journey with an art installation on wheels.
