Hiya. Not sure if you have them near you but I got my nephew (2yo) one from the Entertainer. It was £11

Beware cheap imitations of the Mini and Maxi Micros. Cheaper they may be, but they are not nearly as well made, in either design or materials. Iscoots for example, are around £35 instead of the Micro's £50, and Mookie's are well under 30 quid, but just look at the clumsy-looking steering array: www.amazon.co.uk/iscoot-bobbi-board-children-childrens-kickboard/dp/B002LIUVYO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1305029055&sr=8-2 and compare it to the Micro's sleek system: www.johnlewis.com/230407860/Product.aspx. As the saying goes: 'If it look right, it usually is'. If your kids are smart, they'll quickly realise they've been sold a pup (as they always do when one tries to save a few quid by going 'own-brand' rather than 'designer'!) I've seen them all in action, and the Micro is lighter and far more nimble; and I've heard many reports from various M&Ds that the cheaper one's have fallen to bits or just plain broken, whilst Micros can take some serious punishment (such as being 'requisitioned' by much older and heavier siblings and their friends for stunting etc.) and survive. You gets what you pays for!
