OK, it’s not even close to spring, but we have some unseasonably warm weather this week. Faux-spring or not, I’m already sizing up who needs bigger bikes and whatnot. If it’s about time to start training, check out the Kettler Sprint Frog Training Bicycle.
Regular Droolicious readers will be familiar with this sort of riding toy: It allows tots to practice balancing, steering and stopping without worrying about pedaling. This 12-inch version has some nice features that make it more bike-like than others. Kids from ages 2 to 6 can ride the same bike, thanks to a low, step-through frame and a height-adjustable saddle. A limited turning radius feature helps keeps kids upright by prohibiting sharp turns that might make them lose their balance. It also features a handlebar brake, a thoughtful touch that many other push-bikes don’t have. In other words, the kids don’t have to shred their shoes to stop. (They still might, but they don't HAVE to.)
Available at ComfortFirst for $119.95 (and free shipping).
