I need to catch up on my episodes, I love that show. I'll look into the kazam - thanks for the rec!</p> <p>@T-Mom: Yup - she recommended the strider. Good to know that even your 4 year old is still riding it. I really like the look of the strider - I'll have to look into the extender seat as a possibility! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-recs-for-a-tall-3-year-old#post-1554231 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:44:18 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1554231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: awesome going to order it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-recs-for-a-tall-3-year-old#post-1554229 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:43:38 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1554229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: ours is adjustable but we have it on the highest setting now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-recs-for-a-tall-3-year-old#post-1554208 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:39:08 +0000 Sammyfab 1554208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: ours has a fully adjustable handlebar and seat so I was a little shocked and confused when you guys said it was geared towards shorties. We bought our last summer so maybe it's a newer version? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-recs-for-a-tall-3-year-old#post-1554174 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:31:31 +0000 T-Mom 1554174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: yup<br /> Strider Saddle w/ 305mm Post, 22.2 by Strider Sports <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004N99TPG/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_ybertb0GR2K9C" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004N99TPG/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_ybertb0GR2K9C</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-recs-for-a-tall-3-year-old#post-1554167 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:29:36 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1554167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: oh there is a extender seat?</p> <p>@Mrs. High Heels: yup we have the same one as mrs. cowgirl. if there is an extender seat, we'll definitely get that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-recs-for-a-tall-3-year-old#post-1554160 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:28:06 +0000 T-Mom 1554160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did mrs cowgirl recommend strider? My tallish dd started on a strider at age 4 with the extender seat (purchased separately). She did great on it. We use the original seat that came with it for my DD who is 2 and on the small side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-recs-for-a-tall-3-year-old#post-1554152 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:25:33 +0000 Sammyfab 1554152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: haha...too funny!! </p> <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I really like the look of the Kazam bike. It looks a little retro and there is a footplate in the middle that I think differentiates it from other balance bikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-recs-for-a-tall-3-year-old#post-1554145 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:23:48 +0000 lawbee11 1554145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: LOL jinx! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-recs-for-a-tall-3-year-old#post-1554144 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:23:30 +0000 lawbee11 1554144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I saw the Kazam balance bike on Shark Tank and it looks awesome! My LO is only 8 months old, though, so I can't recommend it from personal experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-recs-for-a-tall-3-year-old#post-1554139 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:22:51 +0000 Sammyfab 1554139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know what kind of reviews it has, but I just saw Kazam bikes when I was catching up on Shark Tank episodes the other day. My husband said they look like they're more suitable for taller kids.</p> <p>We have a Strider and my LO is of average height (he just turned 2). The seat is and handle bars are at their lowest setting right now so I don't foresee him outgrowing it anytime soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-recs-for-a-tall-3-year-old#post-1554116 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:18:45 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1554116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: did you get charlie the one that mrs. cowgirl reviewed? are you planning to get charlie another balance bike, or are you going to introduce him to a regular bike soon? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-recs-for-a-tall-3-year-old#post-1554107 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:16:46 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1554107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would also not get that one as it is for shorter kids. i think charlie is about to outgrow his. don't know much about other ones though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-recs-for-a-tall-3-year-old#post-1554079 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:10:35 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1554079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was interested in getting N the balance bike that Mrs. Cowgirl reviewed on the blog, but some Amazon reviews say it's not great for taller kids. Anyone have balance bike recommendations for a tall 3-year old? I'm overwhelmed by the selection out there! Also, my daughter is on the cautious side.... anyone have a cautious toddler who loves their balance bike? </p>
