Need help with balance bikes!

[rfeibelm]

I have read many of the threads here and have gotten some ideas, but I can't make a decision! I have called all of the bike shops in town asking if they have any in the store, but the ones that do only have the wooden bikes. I definitely only want a metal bike! Aluminum, I guess.

I want two - one for my 39lb, 42in tall 5yr old and another for my 27lb 50% height almost 2yr old. I can measure his inseam when he gets up from his nap. I really wish we could try them IRL, but the next best thing would be the ability to return them for minimal cost if they don't fit. Any ideas?

Have you look at the Kazam? It has a nice low pass threw like the German Puky, is very light and says it accommodates children to 6.

I saw them highly recommended on a cycling board when I was searching. We bought DD the pink one for Christmas, so I don't yet have any personal experience.

We bought it directly from Kazam but I read several people rec this shop because of the return policy...
