We got the basic strider one and I want to say it was around $60. My 3 year old loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-suggestions#post-2880530 Fri, 12 Apr 2019 08:25:51 +0000 RonjaL7 2880530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started my son on this one for $50 at about 2.5 years old. </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GSPQR6Y?tag=amz-mkt-chr-us-20&#038;ascsubtag=1ba00-01000-a0042-win70-other-nomod-us000-pcomp-feature-pcomp-wm-8-wm-3-wm-4-wm-1&#038;ref=aa_pcomp_exp4&#038;th=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GSPQR6Y?tag=amz-mkt-chr-us-20&#038;ascsubtag=1ba00-01000-a0042-win70-other-nomod-us000-pcomp-feature-pcomp-wm-8-wm-3-wm-4-wm-1&#038;ref=aa_pcomp_exp4&#038;th=1</a></p> <p>My 4 year old prefers to use it when compared to her larger balance bike. </p> [attach=7177/19/ppunz3.600x504.20190411_171146.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-suggestions#post-2880471 Thu, 11 Apr 2019 14:59:28 +0000 Dahlia 2880471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can also check your local bike shops and see if they have any sales, trade-in programs, or used bikes to sell. We ended up getting DD a strider from our local shop for less than its listed online, and they helped us get it set to the right height, made sure her helmet was properly fitted, and gave suggestions on how to teach her to ride it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-suggestions#post-2880392 Thu, 11 Apr 2019 08:55:11 +0000 peachykeen 2880392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a used Strider we got for $20-30. It's great! My husband repainted it purple bc that is DD1's favorite color and the company actually sent replacement grips and accent stickers. When he called about the replacement grips, they also sold him a higher height seat so we could use it longer and that was a really reasonable price. I see them used a lot - check NextDoor and FB marketplace! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-suggestions#post-2880380 Thu, 11 Apr 2019 08:35:32 +0000 Alba4 2880380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My coworker gave us her Chillafish. You can also try to buy used! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-suggestions#post-2880374 Thu, 11 Apr 2019 08:01:42 +0000 Mrs. Starfish 2880374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just ordered these for our girls' 3rd birthday gift - we also looked at Chillafish and I honestly had a hard time deciding between the two and made my husband decide! <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KU12FSY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KU12FSY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-suggestions#post-2880362 Thu, 11 Apr 2019 05:41:41 +0000 Jennibenni 2880362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have the Chillafish and it’s been great!

DS is into his second year riding and it’s been great. I think it was about 75$. We had a wodden one for DD but I prefer the Chillafish.</p> <p>[attach=6415/19/pps11u.337x600.590A811F-A400-4EB7-A026-599CE1D9EC47.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/balance-bike-suggestions#post-2880343 Wed, 10 Apr 2019 22:02:54 +0000 meadow 2880343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have a not crazy expensive balance bike they can recommend?
