Ottawa maker Nigel Vezeau built an adorable kiddy trike for his daughter:

When my first daughter was two and a half, she started showing interest in things with wheels. I was keen to get her started on a bicycle, but realized she didn’t have to coordination to balance and learn to pedal at the same time. I decided to build her a recumbent trike so she would be able to get around without the risk of wiping out. I used discarded 12″ kids bikes and some other recycled bits and pieces, including the rectangular tubing from an office desk for the main frame.
