The items are the ideal way to introduce children to sports and activities.
And while some brand new bikes and scooters can cost hundreds, Aldi is offering them for a bargain price.
The scooter costs just €24.99, and comes in two lovely colours, pastel pink and sage green.
The best part about the scooters is that they function as a three in one, so you get more bang for your buck.
The item can function as a normal scooter where children can stand.
But there’s also a clip on seat, which younger children can use before they learn how to balance properly.
The item has lean and steer technology built in to help kids learn and improve their balancing skills.
And there are built-in lights on the wheels for added safety, as well as a rear wheel brake.
Aldi said: “This light up 3 in 1 scooter is perfectly designed as a child’s first scooter so that they can have fun whilst they safely learn to ride.”
The bike is sure to be a major hit among penny-wise shoppers, as it is set to have punters in their hundreds.
While some bikes can cost upwards of €500, the Aldi bike is priced at €89.99.
It has a design based on the popular children’s series Bluey, featuring colourful blue and orange designs.
The bike is 12 inches so is the ideal size for beginners as they learn how to cycle.
And for added safety, it has built in stabilisers that help little ones to balance while they practice.
The tires on the bike are also built to be puncture proof which will not only save money but improve safety as well.
According to the supermarket: “Get ready for some wheelie fun with the Bluey My First 12″ Bike!”
THE HISTORY OF ALDI
The German discount supermarket chain came to Ireland in 1999.
Aldi’s first few shops opened in November 1999, with locations in Sandyford, Dublin, and Ballincollig, Cork.
By the mid-2000s, Aldi bosses had opened numerous stores, focusing on providing high-quality products at low prices.
As the recession hit 2008-2012, Aldi’s popularity grew as consumers became more price-conscious.
The supermarket giant continued it’s expansion in Ireland between 2013-2018, while refurbishing existing stores.
By 2018, Aldi had over 130 shops throughout the country.
The chain began to focus on expanding its range of Irish-made products and supporting local producers.
In 2023, Aldi had over 140 stores in Ireland.
The store invested in sustainability initiatives, such as reducing plastic packaging and increasing the availability of organic and eco-friendly products.
Aldi chiefs said: “At Aldi we are committed to supporting Irish suppliers. Developed in partnership with Bord Bia, Grow with Aldi is designed to help the very best Irish suppliers develop their brand.
“To date, we’ve invested €10 million in our Grow with Aldi development programme in a bid to find the very best Irish suppliers.
“As a result, for a limited time only there are over 47 new products, from 27 Irish suppliers available in store.”
Aldi have introduced technological advancements with self-checkout systems and contactless payment options.
