Hi

Does anyone have any rug rats who have one of these? Interested to know what you think of them?

Things like this make me feel dispair for the state of the human race

The kids in the vid don't look like they have fully developed the ability to walk yet and parents are throwing a £ton so they can glide a little bit quicker and forego the stumbling as they learn to use their legs effectively .

Might as well add a 3rd wheel and a motor and do away with any steps of learning at all .

Whats wrong with waiting and getting a small bike ?

My son has a wooden walkie bike (from lidl - excellent quality and vfm), he didn't start riding it till he was 3-1/2 and a year later he is fast and confident.
He will move straight on to a 2 wheel bike without stabilisers which is the real benefit of these type of bikes.

The micro one however doesn't look like it will handle the standard park environment with those small wheels, my son started doing hills on grass and I would expect the micro wheels would not cope well there.

I would go for one with bigger wheels, some come with a rear brake now which I think is a good idea for when they get older.

Thats just an accident and the unwanted attention of social work waiting to happen :shock:
