WHO: MOUNTAIN BUGGY UNIRIDER

WHAT: A unique single-wheel riding experience that develops balance and confidence for young children allowing them to stand out from the crowd by positioning the rider directly above the wheel.

WHY: The Unirider's clever 'gyroscopic' design means the rotation of the wheel counter-balances the rider when moving, making it easy for the child to centre themselves with their feet off the ground. But, it was the fun look that captured our judges. Instagram star Fancy Nancy (& mum Fern) said "Nancy seemed very excited when she checked out this product! Looks super fun!" while Teenage Blogger Amazing Arabella recognised how great this was for smaller children by noting it was "Fun, cool and easy"
