Ooh really, where? Want to get one for DD, hence knowing the link almost before you'd finished your post, but they are so much money.

DSIL had one for her daughter at about 2. Cost about £100 but she can now ride a proper bike at three and a half.

Got cheap but good one from lidl ages ago [smug], been in cupboard until ds big enough. Says from 3. He is 3 in Aug, tried him on it other day, he was V V proud, but his legs are a weeeee bit too short and don't quite reach the ground so he needs a steadying hand.
So the height/inside leg is more important that the age.

We got DS a proper bikr in mothercare when he was 2 - it has stabilisers and a pole to push it on the back and he has been riding it with no help for the last year - I have to run to keep up with him - I wouldn't bother to get one and would just go for a bike - it won't mean he/she can ride a bike wihout stabilisers so don't really see the point in them!

I like this one, mainly because of the flag!

he is tall so feet touching ground not a prob.
Might stop him trying to pinch other people's!

isn't it fab though?

I'd pay the £50, just about.

Tesco seem quite cheap, a Little Tikes one for £30 - my parent's just bought one for DS second bday from there. It says 3+ but given DS is taller than the average three year old and physically pretty competent I think he will be fine.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
