We got DD a JDBug one for her 3rd birthday (about 3.5 weeks ago), and she loooooves it! She has gotten pretty good in such a short time, and has started to pick both of her feet up a little and balances quite well for a little bit of time too, unless she has managed to pick up some speed. Only problem is that she doesn't really look where she is going, and so gets wobbly when she looks around, but she hasn't ever really fallen off yet... Most balance bikes are pretty hard to find IRL, and so have to shop online for them...the JDBug was cheapest on eBay for $95, up to about $135 in other places...
HOWEVER I found ours in Kmart - I read in a bike forum somewhere that people had seen them advertised in their catalogue for the toy sales last year, but never saw them in the shop. I was in Kmart anyway, and thought I'd just have a look to see if they had any, and they had one. There was no price anywhere on the shelves or box, so I took it to the price scanner thingy, and scanned it, and scanned it, and scanned it again, coz it was only $6! Biggest bargain of the century!

Wow, Allipralli, you gotta be lucky sometimes.
Is yours the same as mine, looks a bit like a motorbike and can add pedals?

That's the one! Ours is blue, which is what I was going to get anyway, coz I really didn't like the look of the magenta, or whatever it was...

Isn't it just too cool? I'm jealous you got it so cheap.
We have the blue one here, too. I'm not really into pink, although DD is, but I'm trying to include some other colours with her aswell. Plus, i thought DS might not be too impressed if it was pink when he gets to use it later on... not sure if he's man enough to pull off pink :rofl:
Unfortunately, my Inlaws got DD a 3 wheeled scooter just before she got the balance bike (don't get me started, who gives a scooter to a kid 4 weeks beefore Christmas?) and as that is much easier for her to ride on, she prefers to ride that... might have to hide it in the back of the shed - HA HA HA "evil laugh"
