Why We Love Bentley Trike
This post was sponsored by Bentley Trike and this is my honest, true impression.
I’ve never even sat in a Bentley, much less ridden in one. They just seem like the epitome of luxury and although I aspire to experience one myself one day, I thought it was super cute when I heard that the world-renowned car brand has launched its very own 6-in-1 trike for little ones! Yes, this tricycle stroller is manufactured by the same company as the Bentley vehicles!
This beautiful tricycle stroller combo is available at many retailers and the price varies from $400 to $550. Almost anywhere you purchase offers for quick shipping which is convenient if you’re looking for a last-minute baby shower or first birthday gift! We received ours within a week of ordering and couldn’t wait to assemble it! We actually unboxed and assembled it right in our garage as soon as it arrived.
The Assembly
I have been surprised by the complicated instructions of many of the baby items we’ve purchased for Baby A! Some of them come with a box of screws and bolts and an assembly instruction BOOK, not a page. Between working and taking care of this busy one, I don’t have time to do 15 steps before she can enjoy her new toy. I was so happy to find that the Bentley Trike was easy to assemble. My husband and I were able to put it together in about 5 minutes with NO extra screws or tools needed. Now, the easy assembly did not mean that the trike itself is not sturdy. It is a very solid piece when assembled, and I actually like the fact that it doesn’t fold because that’s less opportunity for pieces to become unaligned. It fits comfortably in the trunk of my Volvo XC90 after simply removing the canopy piece from the top.
What are the Configurations of this trike?
You may be wondering what are the 6 configurations that make this trike super functional. Right now, we use this as a stroller because she is a little too small to use it as a tricycle, but it functions beautifully as a stroller for us. Addison loves facing forward with the canopy over her head right now and I love that there is a little window in the top so I can still see her while I’m pushing.

Why Choose Bentley vs. Doona Trike
You may have seen the Doona brand trike and are deciding between the two. Immediately you’ll see that there is a substantial price difference, but what I noticed is the Doona has a much sportier feel than the Bentley trike. It also has a much lower profile, so if you are a taller than the average person, the Doona may be challenging to steer comfortably. My husband is 6’4” and I am 4’11” and we both steer the Bentley trike with ease! Lastly, the Bentley wheels and leather accents give a luxury feel that you just don’t get with the Doona although it is very nice!
I mean look at the detail on these tires and wheels!
My Review of the Bentley Trike
After we had it all assembled and got our little miss comfortably strapped in, we were off on a walk around our neighborhood! Thankfully, we live in an area that has lots of wooded trails & streets so we are able to take walks without frying in these humid North Carolina summer days. I definitely think the Bentley trike is worth the price because it works so well as a stroller right now and my little girl is already trying to stretch her legs to the pedals to use it as a tricycle. It’s so cute to watch her excitement!
Do you own a Bentley trike? I’d love to hear how you like it! It still trips me out that I own the same tricycle stroller combo that millionaires like Kylie Jenner are pushing their little babies around in!
