We are planning on buying DD (age 3.5) a bike for xmas. She has a balance bike which she zooms about on great but has mentioned a few times about wanting a real peddle bike with a bell(!) Also Ds will be wanting to make his move on the balance bike soon so it will work well. Has anyone seen any bargains or recommend one? We were thinking a girly tassle clad bike complete with basket and bell! Thanks

How much do you want to spend? I would recommend it might be a good idea to look into getting a well-built and light bike from a 'proper' brand. It can always be jazzed up with baskets etc. In which case, you could even consider second-hand off ebay for the bike itself and then add accessories as you see fit. The first bike we bought for our eldest DD when she was 3 was a spangly bike which I thought looked great, but it was frustrating to pedal, felt really cheap and was extremely heavy and awkward. We ended up carrying more than she ever rode it. We replaced that with a second hand Specialized Hotrock from Ebay for 40 that looked more or less unused, and then suddenly she was off!

Hmm that's a great point that I hadn't really considered. Definitely under 100, happy to buy second hand too. Will have a read online about decent makes, thanks!

We have just bought 2 bikes off Sports Direct online - one for DH and one for DS for his birthday - they were the best prices we found and for makes such as Muddyfox too. Might be worth having a look Smile

I got DD's from tesco direct for £40 in the summer.

Right, I'm on my phone at the moment, and I can't link.

However, on the Christmas bargain thread number 13, someone has linked to a girls' bike. It is on page 32. Littlemousewithcloggson has linked it. It's £30 in Smyths, down from £90.
