Bike-mad 2yo - what kind of vehicle to buy her?

[franch]

DD2 will be 2 in Sept - we're planning to buy her a scooter then as she spends more time on DD1's "3 years plus" one than DD1 does, and it's time big sister got a look-in!

For Christmas we're going to get DD1 a bicycle, so think we'd better get DD2 something at the same time - she'll be 2y 3m by then. Don't want to get her anything too babyish that she'll outgrow too quickly, given that she's a bit of a pro on wheels. Should we get a likeabike, or are there bicycles suitable for her age?

Try the mini micro scooter from the Great Little Trading Company. our 2 year olds love them, they are very easy to handle and steer. It took them about 20 minutes to get the hang of them and now there is no stopping them!!

Thanks nell, yes that's what DD1 has and what we're planning to get for DD2's birthday. It was her Christmas present I was wondering about - a bike or some age-appropriate equivalent?

I would probably get her a 12" frame first bike with stabilisers as, if she is anything like my DD, she will want to do what her older sibling does. If it is a bit big she will soon grow into it!

Thanks WCL - wasn't sure if they made conventional bikes for a 2yo, as DD1 is 3 and a half and we still haven't got her one! That looks like what we need.

Ooh they look great loopy

I think this is lovely wooden moped. My DD will be 3 in Sept and is desperately hoping to get one. Oops just read your post and you're looking for a bike.
