  1. It's my wee boy's third birthday later this month and I Want to get
    him one of those like-a-bike type things. He's small for his age, so it
    needs to go quite low. Can anyone recommend a make and model that their
    kids got on well with...?

    Cheers,

    My kids got on very well with the Lidl Like-a-Bike clone, but I can tell
    you that if your son is about to turn 3 and is small for his age then it
    wouldn't work for him.

    My daughter, who is also small for her age, only grew big enough to use
    it a month or two after her 4th birthday. My son, who is a more average
    size, started using it 4 or 5 months after his 3rd birthday.

    I'm not sure how sizes compare, but I think real Like-a-Bikes are
    probably a similar size to the Lidl clone.

    The Islabikes Rothan might be a good bet:

    Or perhaps one of the Puky learner bikes:

    As another data point, DS1 (avergae size) started a puky learner at 2
    exactly and was fine size-wise. DD started at 2.5 but took a while to
    get the hang of it
