Thank you! It was such a great deal ($35.49 with shipping) that I bought one for my DD. We wanted to get her a balance bike, but were debating on which one since she is already 3.5yo. This seems like a great compromise because we are not out too much if she outgrows it quickly. I searched high and low for reviews...couldn't find any. Hope it is a good bike!

ETA: I googled and learned it is a Skipper Balance Scooter, styled after the vespa (yeah!). :)

Thanks for researching it Mamalia. its scary the markup when you jump from euro to us - Could 109 euros really be $285 us? Yikes!

just want to let you all know that I was trying to add some things to my cart last night with fao and had problems. When I called CS this morning, they were out of stock but I was directed to call their NY and LV stores (info. on fao.com). I was able to pick up two vroom modular cities (8.99 each) and the parents around the block wagon (12.99) at the las vegas store. They may have the balance bike....they said it has been nuts since the sale started on Wed. I did pay more for shipping from the store ($20) but overall, still less than what the wagon sells for at target!!!

for those of you that missed out on the balance bike or other larger items, it might be worth a try to call....hths

I called and was told the balance bike was internet only.

If someone ends up with a spare for some reason, please let me know. I'd lvoe to take it off your hands.
