Cash for Clunkers: The Tricycle Version

We may have lost the Cash for Clunkers program prematurely because of its success among American auto dealers and car buyers, but we at Angeles® say, "Forget about the cars. What about the kids? Don't they deserve new wheels, too?" Our answer? "Cash for Clunkers: The Tricycle Version."
This back-to-school season, we've partnered with one of our "Super Dealers," Discount School Supply, to create our own "Cash for Clunkers" program, this time for kids. Our Cash for Clunkers gives buyers $25 off of the extremely popular SilverRider® trike line, starting August 31, 2009.
To take advantage of this back-to-school promotion, early childhood educators and parents can visit DiscountSchoolSupply.com and use the code CASH25 at checkout. No federal paperwork, no sending in old trikes, no red tape, just $25 toward a new ride. (However, we are reminding people to dispose of their clunkers responsibly.)
SilverRider® trikes have been staples in early childhood classrooms and in family homes' driveways across the country for decades. Because we at Angeles® provide parts for trikes as old as 30 years through our on-site expert Mr. Good Pedal, and because our trikes are built to last, we're confident not many of the "clunker trikes" out there carry the Angeles® name. Regardless, we'd like to follow the success of the national Cash for Clunkers program and help anyone looking to get a new "ride" for the kids in their care. We know a lot of people have old clunky trikes around and don't know what to do with them. We at Angeles® wanted to step in with this great opportunity during the back-to-school season to help people replace their clunkers with one of the best-selling trikes in America that will last for years to come.

Trike Play in the Bloggosphere

At Angeles we care about the health and safety of the children who use our products; it’s our #1 concern, and as a manufacturer of products for early childhood education and play we share concern for children’s health and safety nationwide. This is why we like to stay informed about the research and industry trends of early childhood development, active play and movement. We know that getting kids up and moving is an important key to health and happiness in early childhood, and we know active play is a crucial part of healthy child development, both physically and mentally.

If you too like to stay informed about the importance of active play and child development, we are happy to introduce you to Sharron Krull, a former preschool teacher and current early childhood active play expert. Sharron’s blog is always a trove of facts about the connections between active play and child development, and she offers educators, parents and caregivers ideas about how to incorporate active play into the daily routines of children. In her entry about trike play, we are honored that Sharron chose an Angeles trike as the starring image.

Angeles started with just one man selling trikes, and has continued to be the trusted name in trikes for over 50 years. It’s clear we know how important it is to build a quality trike that can stand the test of time-- but we want you to know we understand the importance of building products that children will use for play and physical activity. By bringing educators and parents better riding products we see ourselves investing in the healthy lives of children. Helping children of various abilities achieve their developmental potential through active play is at the heart of much of what we do at Angeles.
