[quote=Anonymous]Love ours! We tried to do the pedal-taking-off thing, but it turned out that our son was too small for any of the frames out there. Our local bike store also recommended against going that route simply because they find that many of the people who do discover that by the time their kids are ready to ride with pedals, they have outgrown the frame that was converted to the balance bike so they need a new bike anyway. YMMV based on how fast your child grows and how soon he/she is ready for pedals, though. We have the FirstBIKE and really like it--very adjustable so will fit from around age two (barely) with the special lowering kit all the way up to age five or six, though most kids have moved on to full bikes by then. You do need a place to ride where it's possible/safe to pick up enough speed to glide around on the bike, though--not so fun if all you do is shuffle around on it. [/quote]
