that's encouraging, I will definitely have to spend saturday or sunday afternoon trying the DIY balance bike thing with her. My daughter is a bit confused at the kick back brakes too but i think that shouldn't be a problem.
here's a pic from last year, it was just a crappy random picture; but i did a little editing and I kind of like it now.
