We bought Eva a bike yesterday, she loves it! We had been given a bike for her, but it is a little too big at the moment so we have put that in the garage and bought her a smaller one.
We found this Appollo DaisyChain Girls bike in Halfords with £50 off at £79.99 which we did not think was too bad, not sure how long that price will last as it seems to be allot lower than anywhere else has it on sale for. Eva loved it because it was pink and had smiley flowers all over it, we liked it in comparison to others as it seemed o be built better, it has inflatable rather than solid tyres and metal 14″ wheels rather than plastic ones.
Halfords gave us the option of either taking it away boxed or having them make it up and us collect it at a later date, since Eva was itching to play on it we took it in the box, it was not rocket science to put it together, a couple of spanners (13mm and 15mm I think), and Allen key and a pozidrive screwdriver. I did make the mistake of putting the seat on before the doll carrier (silly me not considering the doll carrier!) but other than that straightforward.
It comes with stabilizers which can be removed when she gets more confident. It is supposed to be for 4-6 year olds, but Eva is tall for her age so even at 3 she is ok to ride it.
We got her a helmet which she is chuffed to bits with, and likes to wear it round the house, we are working on telling her not to slam it down on the floor, but that is taking a little while to go in!
Our biggest mistake was to buy her a bell to go with it, as I type this I can hear the ting ting ting from downstairs, I don’t think it has stopped since we got it, oh on second thoughts yes it has between 7pm and 7am last night when a little someone was in bed!
I would (and I am sure Eva would) recommend this bike if you are looking for one for your Daughter, it is a great price on Halfords at the moment.
