First bike for daughter
x-clusive
Posts: 43
Well when I ask my daughter who will be 2 next month what she would like for her birthday the answer is always the same
"Bike"
Now I realise that she is young to have her first bike but would like her to riding as soon as possible.
So far I am considering an Isla Rothan, but was wondering if anybody could suggest some possible alternatives?
Not sure if should go down the route of learning balance without pedaling, or get used to pedals but with stabalizers.

Go for the Rothan, she'll love it!!
Riding a 'scoot' bike like that really is the best way to get the kiddies used balancing & will have her riding a 'normal' bike much quicker than the old stabiliser route.
I only wish we had the sense to get them for our two at the time.
The Isla's are great bikes though, we bought one for our son & it is superbly made for the kids.

I didn't get my son an Islabike as his first set of wheels, and have since regretted it. He's now 5 and got a Beinn 20, so I can definintely vouch for Islabikes' build quality and sensible speccing, and, thus, am with GTDave on this; go for the Rothan.
