The Scramble Bug from QuickSmart is the coolest bug on four wheels — and it’s just 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 her insect forward, backward and in circles. Best of all, the brightly colored bug-cycle folds nearly flat for storage and transport (when folded, it measures about 28 inches by 14 inches by 6 inches deep), and weighs just 6.4 pounds. Designed for children ages 1 to 3, the Scramble Bug comes in four color patterns and can be used inside or outside. Also available in a tricycle model, called the Scuttle Bug, which has one double wheel “leg” in front and two double wheel legs in the back, making it more agile but also perhaps more of a tipping challenge.
