HELP! Trike, balance bike, mini micro scooter, playhouse?? What is used most??

[sotiredfornow]

We were given some money for my daughter 2nd birthday. I haven't a clue how best to spend it. I've made a few mistakes in the past and things have been left barely used. I want to get it right this time!

Can anyone tell me what their 2 yr old has used to death?? In the running - a mini micro scooter, balance bike, trike, 4ft x 4ft plastic playhouse, outdoor water table...

Or perhaps you can suggest something else??

Thank you in advance xxx

Mini micro scooter or playhouse

At that age this type of playhouse. Many more hours of fun with friends than a bike/scooter.

We even brought it inside some days in the depth of winter and you can chuck a sheet over it for a den.

Can you take your dd to a few toyshops that have some toys on display to get a feel for what she might like?
We've done this with our dd and discovered she loves scooters and toy kitchens but isn't bothered about bikes, trampolines or train sets. Handy to know...

Scooter no question, ours get used into the ground.

Micro scooter is most used in our house followed closely by a play house - we have a little tykes on with a build in sink/kitchen bit. DD likes her balance bike but the scooter wins over it every time.

Scooter then balance bike here

Can anyone recommend a mini micro scooter suitable for a 2 yr old?

Thanks for the help everyone - I think we will go with a playhouse and scooter.

Millionprammiles - thanks for the idea, hadn't thought of doing that! And will do before making any purchases :)

DD2 got one of these for her second birthday, we contemplated the ring handle and seat but she preferred the normal handles. It didn't take long for her to become scarily fast on it!

And please buy a helmet if you are buying a scooter - I have seen one too many scooter head injuries this week.

mini micro scooter with helmet and kneepads... my 2.3yo LOVES it

Play house gets used most here, followed by scooters but with two 2yos we don't go out on scooters yet as it scares me to much lol.

Scooter. The proper microscooter ones are worth the money.
