Bike for my daughter

[KnottedYet]

If the price difference is only $10, I'd go for the Giant. It will last more years, go to more kids, and take a lot longer to end up in a landfill.

I was looking at trikes for SKnot, and they really aren't made as well as the ones we had as kids. (I still remember my red trike)

ones we had as kids. (I still remember my red trike)

Me too, it was called "Flyer"

Seriously, buy the best you can afford. Nothing wrong with buying over-quality imo. Esp if it is connected to childhood "issues" of your own. We can only solve them with our own kids. And it's cheaper than the psychologist too!

ps Not implying anything. Speaking for myself who wanted a trike with a chain drive apparently

I do believe I am going with the Giant Trike afterall. We plan on having another child soon that could use it. Or, I have 3 sister-in-laws and a brother who are all married and will be having kids of their own soon that the bike could get passed on to as well.

However, DH did convince me to at least wait until the weather gets warmer. I checked and the weather will be warmer on Thursday

Thursday it is, then!! WHOO-hoooooo!!!!!

What a great way to share your love of cycling with her! That Giant trike is cute. And with the build quality the ability to pass it on will make it a great investment.

I bought the Kiddio Supertrike (which is only a little bit less) for my son which then passed on to my daughter, both of whom loved to ride it. The money spent was well worth it for us.

I hope you and your daughter will have many enjoyable moments with the trike. Have fun watching her learn and grow with it.

We got to the LBS on Thursday to check out the bikes. DD ran up to the first bike she saw and started petting it and trying to climb up on the pedals. I had to coax her inside to the kids size bikes. Here is a picture of her with the 12" pink trike. This one was already sold. They had a 10" red trike that fit her better but she would not have anything to do with that one--she wanted pink. So, we placed the order
