Balance Bike opinions

[americancyclo]

I was just at a bike shop with my 20 month old daughter and she is starting to show interest in balance bikes. I was hoping folks might have some opinions on what balance bikes held up to a few years worth of use. We’ve talked about another kid at some point, and I’d rather buy one bike that will last a few years and can be handed down to the second child. The wooden framed Skuut my nephew has is pretty beaten up, and I’m not too crazy about the plastic wheels on the Strider, but I could be convinced otherwise.

Any experience you’ve had or thoughts are welcome.

Skuut – $62
Strider – $71
Giant Pre – $125
Specialized Hotwalk – $175
Trek Kickster – $179

Starting to think The Clymb is using the Forum for their cycling sales. Anyways, they have Strider bikes on sale for the next 2 days.
