tricycle for my son?

BartGirl

It's my son's birthday in a few weeks and I'm trying to find a tricycle on a tight budget £20-£30 ish.
I am only aware of the Woolworths, ELC, or hasbrotoys websites.
Could anyone recommend anywhere else worth trying?
Thanks MSE'ers!

Got my kids' first bikes with stabilisers from there;)
They have a special offers section too.

My son's first bike came from a car boot sale - at that age they don't know the difference! If necessary, a custom paint job does not cost a lot.

yes i deffinatly agree,i bought my son (then for his 2nd birthday) a trike from raleigh,when he sat on it ,it was far too big.i then went and bought another from outside the same shop(second hand) for a tenner,and he never been off it absolute bargin.it was made the same (raleigh) but just a smaller version.My lad managed to peddle it last week(he now 3) and i put him on the original one i bought bk last yr and he can peddle that to ,but he now wants a proper bike so the origal purchese was really a waste of time.

so my suggestion is to try and get one of a family friend/neighbour,to start with and see if they are worth paying £30 for which mine was not.Yes ok its in immaculate condition,but not had any use.Wont be doing that again.
