Both my boys got bikes at christmas and cant pedal them, and when take them to park near home that has big concrete area to practice they get off and play on equipment, so just bought a balance bike on scoopon for $49 to try that. DS1 loves his scooter and flys around on that DS2 a woose and pulls it most of the way.
We borrowed Santosha's balance bike - so far it has inspired more scooter riding and less arguments because DS doesn't mind the balance bike but DD is not keen still and wants a proper bike! I don't know where she got the 'proper bike' idea from - but I think she will get it eventually - probably when DS really gets the hang of the balance bike! :-)
