Bike - have zero clue but it was from TRU and on sale. The grow out of them so fast don't spend lots of money. Or buy used.

We have two used bikes - once my kids start riding a two wheeler I will get them new bikes.

DD's first "bike" is a tricycle that turns into a balance bike type thing- it's made by Flippa, got it at Toy's R Us. As for a real real bike, we got her a Huffy.

See link below regarding bikes.

I recommend craigslist for a quality used bike. Getting something better than what they sell at TRU leads to be a better experience.

I'm not sure its worth buying their first bike new at some of the pricepoint of the nicer bikes. I bought a Giant Animator on craigslist for $70 with training wheels.

he had a radio flyer tricycle for a bit but didn't take to it much. He did like the bigwheel we had a lot.

Dd's first bike is a hand me down two wheeler with training wheels from my niece- it was bought at toys r us--not sure of the brand--maybe Huffy.
Her helmet is gyro and I bought it at my local bike shop. She was two when she first asked for a bike- now at 2 and four months she can peddle but needs supervision with steering.

Her first roller skates are Fisher price grow with me 1, 2, 3 roller skates- she got them for her second birthday- we are still using them on the first setting.

Dd first doll house is the Fisher price loving family doll house-it is an older model since it is also a hand me down from my niece but very similar to the current model-Dd loves it. All the furniture is plastic with some cloth embelishments for the bedding. The best part is it can be closed up with most of the pieces inside.

Bike: at 5 we got one for DS at toys r us (you can test drive them). Had a trike before then.

Roller skates: not til later

Doll house: at 4 for DD. Got the Kidkraft ones. Before that, had the little people Disney princess one which was great!

DS first bike (age 3 1/2) was brand Specialized. It's completely customizable and can grow with him for many years.

Re: First Bike, First Roller Skates, First Doll House - What Brand?

Bike: she has the radio flyer tricycle, and we will probably go to brands to get her a 2-wheeler soon

Roller skates: the fisher price grow with me that strap over her shoes. Don't forget to pick up elbow and knee pads!

Doll house: she had the fp little people one when she was little and never touched it. Someone gave her the melissa and Doug fold and go mini dollhouse this past year and she plays with it. I'm waiting to invest in a bigger dollhouse to see if she prefers the smaller-scale okay, or jump right to something that can accommodate barbies. She also has the peppa pig house (she's obsessed with peppa) and she plays with this. Most of all though, she builds houses from her magnatiles and plays with her princesses in what she builds.
