My H just spent 300euro (yes, 3 -fucking-hundred euro) on a 2 wheel bike for DD that apparently is so speshul that you can't get training wheels for it.
She's only 4, but 120cm tall so it's a heavy effin' bike. And she has issues with her muscles not being particularly strong because she grows so fast. And she came out of the womb too tall for that stupid laufrad (bike you run with that doesn't have pedals), so she can't balance or anything.
So now I'm going to spend the next year throwing my back out pushing her on this thing.
Who makes a bike you can't put training wheels on??? I asked the bike shop if they had any suggestions at all and they just got all uppity and said, "well NORMALLY a 120 cm tall child can ride a 2 wheeler." Skank.
THIS is why I said we should buy the child a cheap ToysRUs bike, like I had back in the day, until she learns to ride it. But noooo, my H had to go all German and do all his research....that only works in theory.
