The important thing is to get them outside and riding and burning off some energy so they come inside and eat their vegetables and go right to bed.
Thanks for the comment, bbattle. I hunted around and found a local shop that happened to have the KDR 7.2 FX in stock - owner had bought it for his son but had not set it up for him yet. Bought it for my 7 1/2 year old daughter. I read her the comment about vegetables and bed - she thought that was funny.
Didn't come with a kickstand. Is there some kind of stand one can buy for the garage that she could just wheel it into? Thanks.
