The Ultimate Buying Guide for Doona Liki Trike Accessories: What to Get for Every Stage

The Doona Liki Trike is a brilliant 5-in-1 compact tricycle that grows with your child from 10 months to 5 years. But to truly unlock its full potential, the right accessories can make all the difference. Whether you want more storage, better sun protection, or a smoother ride for your toddler, this buying guide will help you choose the best Doona Liki Trike accessories for every stage.

We’ve broken down the most popular add-ons by your child’s age and needs, so you can invest in items that genuinely improve your daily outings. From the Doona Liki Trike parent handle to the storage bag, here’s everything you need to know.

Stage 1: Baby Mode (10–18 Months) – Parent Control & Comfort

When you first start using the Liki Trike in baby mode (parent-controlled steering and push), the Doona Liki Trike parent handle is an absolute must-have. This handle lets you push and steer the trike from behind, giving you full control while your toddler enjoys the ride. It’s easy to attach and detach, and it folds neatly for storage. Without it, you’d have to bend down to guide the trike, which isn’t practical for long walks.

Another essential for this stage is a sun canopy or insect protection. While the Liki Trike S5 models like the Doona Liki Trike S5 - Ocean Blue Deluxe include a canopy, earlier models may not. The Doona 360° Car Seat Sun and Insect Protection can be adapted for the trike, providing shade and bug coverage. For extra comfort, consider the Doona Head Support - Grey to keep your baby’s head cushioned during naps.

• Do not use the parent handle as a carrying strap; it’s designed for steering only.

Stage 2: Toddler Mode (18–36 Months) – Storage & Independence

As your toddler grows and you start using the trike in guided or free-pedal modes, storage becomes a priority. The Doona Liki Trike storage bag clips onto the back of the seat and holds snacks, toys, diapers, and your phone. It’s weather-resistant and easy to remove for cleaning. If you need more capacity, the Doona Essentials Bag - Nitro Black can be worn crossbody or attached to the handlebar.

For toddlers who want to carry their own treasures, a small cup holder or snack tray isn’t available from Doona, but the storage bag works well for quick access. At this stage, you might also appreciate the Doona X Summer Canopy - Nitro Black for extra UV protection during sunny outings. It attaches easily and provides a wider shade area.

• Check compatibility: the storage bag fits all Liki Trike models (S1, S3, S5).

Stage 3: Big Kid Mode (3–5 Years) – Fun & Practicality

Once your child is pedaling independently, you’ll want accessories that encourage their freedom. The Doona Liki Trike parent handle is no longer needed, but you can still use the storage bag for family outings. A bell or horn (sold separately) adds fun, and reflective stickers improve visibility. If you live in a rainy area, a rain cover is a smart addition—though not a Doona original, generic covers fit well.

For travel, the Doona Liki Trike folds compactly, but you can make it even more portable with the Doona Essentials Bag - Nitro Black to carry loose items. The Liki Trike S5 Limited Edition - Midnight comes with premium features like a padded seat and adjustable canopy, so you may not need many extras. Focus on accessories that simplify your life, like a parent cup holder (third-party) or a phone mount.

• Always remove the parent handle before folding the trike to avoid damage.

Must-Have Doona Liki Trike Accessories List

To help you decide quickly, here’s a checklist of the most recommended Doona trike accessories for every stage. Start with the Doona Liki Trike parent handle if you have a baby under 18 months. Add the Doona Liki Trike storage bag for any age—it’s useful from toddlerhood onward. For sun protection, the Doona X Summer Canopy or the Doona 360° Car Seat Sun and Insect Protection are versatile options that work with other Doona products too.

Other nice-to-haves include the Doona Head Support for younger babies and the Doona Essentials Bag for parents who need a hands-free carryall. Avoid buying duplicate accessories; for example, the Doona+ Car Seat & Stroller already includes a canopy, so you only need a trike-specific cover if you use the trike separately.

• Doona Liki Trike parent handle – essential for parent-controlled steering.
• Doona Liki Trike storage bag – perfect for snacks and small items.
• Doona X Summer Canopy – extra UV protection for sunny days.
• Doona Essentials Bag – versatile carryall for parents.

Choosing the right Doona Liki Trike accessories depends on your child’s age and your daily routine. Start with the parent handle and storage bag, then add sun protection as needed. With these smart additions, your Liki Trike will serve your family well from babyhood to preschool. Happy riding!
