bike*star balance bike

Has anyone got one of these balance bikes from Amazon? www.amazon.co.uk/bike-30-5cm-Learner-Balance-Beginner/dp/B002W4LD12/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=sports&qid= 1279286417&sr=1-8

I want to get dd a balance bike for her birthday and I'm drawn to this one because of it's bargain price! However, I just wondered if anyone could tell me if it's any good or if I'd be better spending more money and getting one of the Islabike Rothan ones.

hi, don't have this bike but have a balance bike for ds and it is great! he is only 2.4 years and can fly on his. the only thing to check would be that she can reach the handles from the seat. we looked at a Ridgeback Scoot and ds couldn't reach, but he could on the easyrider. the easyrider also had controlled steering which has been really good for him but maybe not so important for older kids?
