My little daughter is 6 and we had a nighmare finding a small girls bike she had a 12" Rallye one lol and grown out of it I had to raise the seat and handle bars to their max and her little legs suffered from small crank shaft.
So wife asked me to find a secondhand one as she was only going to last for 18months.
We looked at loads of shops and all came to £150  :lipsrsealed:
In the end I ebay a few and one came up saracen poppy 16" 9" ALu frame.
Well anyways I said max bid for it £35.00 and women bidders :rolleyes: road me hard, I paid £31.50 @ 5 seconds to go 8 bidders in total, remind me never to go up against women bidders they are animals! :grin:

You should have a look at all the Facebook selling pages, it gets properly fierce on them!!

Women will slit each others throats for a pair of slippers  :grin:

If you haven't tried a tag-a-long with your daughter give one a go.

I did a 10 mile ride from home to .:WR with our 5 year old a couple of weeks ago.  She loved it.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

No, single-wheeled job.

If you want to go for a longer ride, on hillier stuff it makes it possible - it's bloody hilly around here and she wouldn't have been able to do the trip on her single-geared bike.

True we do about 6 miles on flat I was looking to go further afield, but need a decent bike rack to take them all.
I'll look for one of those tag alongs DH it might be eaiser like you say if its hilly!
