My DS is 24 months old. I am trying to decide between getting him a trike or a bike. He is my first child but I hope/expect to have more.

I was looking at the Kettler Air Navigator but with the price around $200, Im wondering if I shouldnt just get him a bike with training wheels. He wont actually use anything until Spring when he will probably be 28 or so months. I like the adjustability of the Air Navigator but I am worried that he will use it one season and outgrow it.

A factor is my son is very big for his age (takes after DH). He is 41 inches tall, 38lbs and wears a size 6. I wonder if with his size if even an ajustable trike wont last. I have no idea at what age kids normally ride a bike so if its not until 4 or 5, the trike might be worth it.

Another option is to buy a cheap trike which can be ditched after a season but I tend to like the quality items where they make sense.

Advice?
