Want to see a child smile? Just put a tricycle underneath him! Just about every child (and most adults, for that matter) love to cycle. And with sporty adaptive tricycles from Rifton, every child can have his or her own set of wheels and the freedom to take off and go.
For the therapist, there's hardly a more fun, motivating activity for improving leg strength, balance, fitness and endurance. Children of virtually any age enjoy cycling on Rifton Tricycles. In addition to the great physical benefits, trike riding encourages socialization and the development of friendships. Children with special needs can zoom around right alongside their peers on a tricycle that's as cool and colorful as anything on the sidewalk. And of course, our adaptive Tricycles are designed to be flexible and adjustable - growing with your little rider - with no tools required.
The Rifton Tricycles are a great way to combine fun and therapy! With a Rifton Tricycle, your child can join his siblings and friends in outdoor play! It's a fun way to encourage independence during playtime. The Rifton Tricycles are designed to provide minimum support for your child. If more support is needed there are several accessories available to choose from to make it work for your child.

The Small Rifton Tricycle is designed for children around 4 to 7 years. More importantly, it is for children with an inseam between 17-22" (42.5-55 cm).
Riding a tricycle is a great way to practice reciprocal motion with the legs. The best part is, kids think it is fun, not work! The Rifton Tricycles come standard with a pulley system that helps children keep the reciprocal movement going.
The Small Rifton Tricycle allows your child to be properly supported while participating in an activity enjoyed by so many children. The Adjustable Loop Handlebar can be rotated to meet your child's preferred hand position. The Rifton Rustler has a seat belt and a trunk support with belt that helps to keep your child's upper body in alignment. This helps them focus on pedaling and steering. And the footplates with straps helps keep their feet in place too.
