First bike?

[Janie]

Have you seen the balance bikes? (Also known as run bikes) DS has one, and he LOVES it! We gave it to him for his 3rd birthday

My target had Dora balance bikes for $18

Mine were all approx 2 - 3. Tank will be alot older

We got DS's first bike for his 3rd birthday. A little bmx style bike with training wheels, it also had one of the those pole handle thingys like you can get with the toddler ones. It was the perfect age for DS, he was soooo excited and picked up the whole peddle and break function really quickly.

We got DS a Smart Trike for his first christmas. He was about 9 months old.
He's going to be just over 2.5 this christmas & we are getting him his first bike. He has 2 that were given to him & hasn't learnt how to pedal just yet.
I'm getting him the Toy Story one from Kmart I think
Girls got 1st bikes for their 2nd birthdays

A balance bike or run bike is the best way to start them and getting them to develop balance - DD1 started on hers at 2 and rode her first 2-wheeler with no training wheels the day before her 4th birthday.

DS got his first bike from santa last year so he was just over 3. He had been riding a bike before then that was at my IL's house and has no problems (with training wheels). He actually can ride quite fast now.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I think I'll look into the balance bikes.

Clover, I saw the toy story one too, that's what got me thinking cause it's so cute!
