Please help me - looking for a first Trike for 26 month old

[Arien]

I am looking for a Trike(tricycle) for my 26 month old .
I need help which brand /model etc should look to select as first trike? I am searching on Google, but inputs from your experience would be very helpful!

He is in 80th %ile, we are just looking for a safe and durable model. I know initially I will have to push it, till he learns how to pedal and then he would be on his own.
Looking something within $100.

we dont have those but one thing i see with my granddaughter (soon to be 26mths) is needing to put blocks on the pedals. the long stretch makes them lose interest unless your pushing...which is why i like the looks of the Roll 'N Ride Trike.

That's perfect suggestion, I picked Roll 'N Ride Trike and with the savings probably I can upgrade to some usual 2 wheel small kids bicycle ( with the support wheels on side ) soon. This would serve as a good training bike !!
