The Boot Scoot Bike is so great. It is a balance bike (also called walking bikes, running bikes, or push bikes) for kids starting around age 2 (depending on their inseam/height) that helps them balance and will eventually help them learn to ride a bike. They are big in Europe and most of the balance bikes you see are wooden (which aren't durable). A girl in Utah wanted to buy one for her son, but didn't want a wooden one. She found a need for metal balance bikes, so the Boot Scoot Bike was born!
Go on their site and watch the video of her son on the Boot Scoot Bike. It is awesome how young kids can figure out how to push and walk along and also glide on these bikes.
They believe in supporting small and local businesses, so you will not find the Boot Scoot Bike in big box retailers. They are at a few bike shops in Utah and on their site. The prices start at $65. They currently come in Blue and Green and once the inventory gets lower they will make a pink one.

Weren't you looking for a present for your son for his 2ed b-Day!!! Always seems like it's a little late. I love the boy stuff you post. Since there isn't much out there compared to the girl stuff..
Good point, Sommers! That is cute of you to remember. My son is pretty small but I think I might get this for Christmas when he is 2 1/2.
Do you know of any good blogs to search for ideas to help with LDS callings? YW, Girls Camp imperticular(sp)? I was blog hopping the other day and found one and now I lost it. Thanks for any suggestions!!
