Raleigh childrens' bikes £29.99

Hi - I hope this is a good buy! I've been looking for a bike for my daughter for weeks and of course looking for a bargain! I just checked Amazon again and the bike I had had my eye on had been reduced by a further £25. They have 14" and 12" Raleigh bikes reduced to £29.99 and this obviously includes their free delivery.

£5 more but here is a 16" bike

Please tell me this is a good buy as my husband is the one who knows about bikes and he is abroad so I thought I'd better go for it!

I hope this helps someone.

  • We bought the 16" one listed above for my son in January from Amazon at the same price, though it has been back up to £64 since then, and it's a very good bike... especially with £30 off :)

    I think these prices were the same sometime in november as i bought the bounce one for my daughter but returned it and got the daisy one.

    The reason I did this is because the user reviews said the bounce was more plastic looking and when I got it I realised this too.. it doesnt have real spokes etc... My daughter is 3.5 now and will be 4 when she gets to use it. I measured the leg height and the 14" daisy was a better option for her. Its been up since xmas and I would say it is a very good buy as it seems ncie and sturdy etc :)

    BTW - they sell them in argos as well and i think they are dearer.. When mine arrived it had the argos cat number on the side.. :)
