Bikes
I have turned a new leaf. After 2 years of frustration and tears related to all thing ride-on (scooters, bikes, tricycles), my 3 year old has figured out how to pedal and steer a bike with semi precision. If you’ve never gone through the learning curve with a little someone figuring out their extremities on a wheeled toy, let me tell you it is painstaking and very physically involved. Now while she can pedal up and down the driveway semi independently, my 18 month old cannot. For people in his size and skill bracket I recommend this gem of a bike. Also, if you're little legged monster is anything like mine the back compartment will be chock full of precious rocks, which actually add to the bike’s stability. Win win. Also ours has lived primarily outside for over a year and is doing just fine.
