when did you buy your child their first 'bike'

the subject basically speaks for itself. when did you buy your child their first tricycle thing?

DD has had a tricycle since she was one. Her legs are too long for it now, so we bought her first real bike with training wheels and we are giving it to her tomorrow for her 3rd birthday party!

She didnt really start riding it until she was 2, but we got her on it and pushed her and stuff and she loved it!

awww, he'll love that!

Are you referring to 2 wheeler with training wheels or in general?

My oldest was 2 when his grandparents bought him a bike...he has never shown interest in it and he is almost 7 now, we've bought him others and he won't touch them.

We got our youngest one of those push trikes with the removable handle at a yardsale for $3 in April or May. Both of my boys won't leave it alone. My youngest is 19 months now.

I'm not sure what I'm referring to hahahaha. go figure... I guess something she sits on with peddles lol. more like a tricycle I guess.

When she turned 4. We don't celebrate birthdays, but thought she deserved a bike.

They both got their first trike on their first birthday and my son got his first two wheel with stabalizers for his fifth birthday. They also have scooters and big wheels though.

I found one for $5 at a garage sale and bought it for Boog when she was 2 years old lol

ETA: I bought a tricycle at the same time but she couldn't work it so she rode the regular bike

I would suggest something like a push trike for a start. You can steer it while she gets used to what she is doing. There are some that have seatbelts and visors to keep the sun off of LO's The handle comes off for when she is more independent.

My oldest got a tricycle around 15 months and my younger kids have been playing on it since they could walk. We got the two older kids two wheeler bikes this past summer (with training wheels) at 4 1/2 and 3.

cameron was almost 3... it took him a bit to actually get the hang of it though and learn to pedal himself

ahhh ok! thank you! I'll look for that.

My daughter got a trycycle for her second birthday (last month) while she doesnt quite understand how to peddle yet...it has def turned out to be her favorite "toy"
