tricycle question 2.5 year old
We are going to get a tricycle for my daughter for xmas and im just wondering from anyone who has experience
is it worth it to spend the $ on one that grows with her? O Just get a cheaper version that we would just buy her a new one in a year or 2 or however long it is that she would outgrow it?

I would stick with a cheap trike. We are getting our 3.5 year old a small bike now. He can still ride his trike but its time to move up to a small bike.

Re: tricycle question 2.5 year old
My 4.5 yr old is still perfectly happy on a trike. I think 2.5 is perfect to start... And 2 solid years from a toy is a lot. I love the trikes with the bar to control esp if you don't have a very flat driveway.

We have this one, inexpensive, but still grows with them and have had a great time with it.

Re: tricycle question 2.5 year old
dd1 did great with the radio flyer tricycle . she got hers for christmas when she was 2.5 and in the summer when she was 3 was fully able to ride it without help. it was a smooth ride and easy for her to peddle. i think they have that brand with handle too. the handle prob would have helped in the beginning.

We have the radio fler fold 2 go trike. DD got it for her 2nd birthday and was able to ride it a little right away. At 2.5 she does pretty well but needs help turning and gets stuck often but she loves it (and she's a weakling and not all that coordinated). She also loves the "treasure chest" on the back. All the other ones we tried were too big for her at the time so I was glad this one fit her right away. The ones with handles seem to be bigger so it would be longer before they could pedal it anyway.
