Bike recs for a two year old?

remote_girl

So the little guy is turning 2 and obsessed with bikes. He is too big for most push/scoot bikes, and I think a balance bike will be short lived for him. Any bike recs for a bike that can grow with him over the next year?

So, I'm a professed bike nerd and only the best would do for my delicate flower. (I kid, I kid.)

We splurged and got her the Trek Trikester for her 2nd b-day. The thing is a monster and she's still tooling around on it well after her 4th birthday. It was worth every penny. You'll have to visit a bike shop to check one out.

if you plan to have more then one kid then I recommend getting a good bike, like myra mentioned.  its worth it in the long run.  but, what about a trike?  we started with a trike at 2yrs old and then got the bike at 3 (I think).  even right at 2 he couldn't pedal, and maybe that is the difference between a bike and a trike, but we got the trike with the push handle which was a lifesaver for when little people get tired and you have to push/haul the trike around.

We have a regular old tricycle and we also got my son a balance bike for Christmas (he was 2.5).  He likes both of them but just rides them every now and then for a short time.  That one Myra posted looks cool, though!

thanks for the tips - as always you ladies are super helpful!

I second the tricycle. Ava got one for Christmas and loves it. It took her some time to figure out how to petal but now she is very good at it.

We got a Kettler trike for Owen's 2nd birthday. It took him awhile to figure out the whole peddling thing and how to keep it going. I think it is this one:

Ditto, Heather, on loving the push handle! He moved up to a little small bicycle at his 3rd birthday and has progressed really fast. Our neighbors have a balance bike and Owen is in love with it. A lot of the time he chooses to ride the balance bike instead of his regular one. I think he will be ready for a bigger bike for his 4th birthday or else we would buy him a balance bike now.

We also have a Kettler trike and love it.
