Well DD is just now comfortable on her 12" balance bike... She would prefer for a long time riding her hand me down giant european trike that my mother in law gave her.

I have been searching craigslist and have found an almost new 16" specialized bike for $50.

I think I may go with it considering how much bigger the 20" look compared to what she is used to...

I figure if we only keep it until this summer I should be able to sell it for close to $50 when we are done.

Does that sound reasonable? I don't think I would buy a new 16" bike but I think for $50 (and the name brand that I should be able to resell) it seems okay. And then I can look for a good used 20" either this summer or fall - or even let Santa do it next year.

She is 44" tall.
