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.

A New Site Feature!

We are excited to share with you a brand new feature of our Angeles website! We invite you to share with us your experiences with Angeles products. On the top of any product pages, you’ll see a link to "Share your thoughts about Angeles products."
Our goal is for you to tell us how you use our products and why you love (or don’t love—that’s OK, too) them.
Tell us what activities you do with trikes and other active play items to help enrich the development and education of the children for whom you care, whether in a preschool, early education center, at home or elsewhere. Tell us about your memories; perhaps, like many of us, you grew up with an Angeles trike in your own school or backyard. Let us know how long your Angeles trikes have been in service or tell us anything you might want to share; we’d love to hear from you!

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the NEW Angeles blog! For the past 51 years the Angeles name has stood for quality, innovation and value in products for the early childhood marketplace and our new website is making it even easier for dealers, educators and parents to learn more about our unique products. We invite you to explore our website and to check back here, on our brand new blog, to get to know more about the products we offer, new products coming soon and the dedicated people behind the scenes here at Angeles.

Did you know Angeles started with just one man, Claude Tindell? In 1958, Claude began building tricycles and selling them school-to-school from the back of his station wagon. He made Angeles a success by promising quality, durability and lifetime service. Today that combination of personal attention and commitment to excellence is what continues to make Angeles a leading name in manufacturing for the early childhood classroom. With parts still available for trikes made more than 50 years ago, we at Angeles know that quality and exceptional service have kept us rolling strong. Trained Angeles associates help guide product owners through repairs, and customers may receive hands-on service for trikes from Mr. Good Pedal, a craftsman available for Lifetime Service Support on each trike.

Decades of customer feedback and experience are important contributors to every Angeles product, and we hope that this blog will become another way our customers can tell us about their experiences with Angeles items. Do you have questions about our growing product lines or want to tell us about your favorite items? Do you have suggestions or experiences you can share? If so, we would really appreciate hearing from you. We look forward to getting to know you.
