DD is 4.3. We bought her a secondhand islabike CNOC14 for her 4th birthday three months ago having done all the measurements etc with the plan of taking pedals off and starting her off using it as a balance bike.
But - it turned out saddle height at lowest point is too high for her feet to touch the ground (but we did the measurements! I don't understand! Anyway...)
So she hasn't really managed anything on it. Now I'm a bit stuck (having slightly ignored the problem for a few months).
- Do I shell out on a balance bike to get her going, or persist with the one she has? It seems a bit crazy to buy a balance bike designed for a 2-4 year old when she's over that age, but also crazy not to when she's going nowhere fast (nowhere at all) on the islabike.
- anyone else have this problem with the CNOC14 just not fitting a four year old despite measuring?!
