Where are you located? If you're happy with giving used for a birthday present, I reckon I may have a First Bike you can have. If I can find them, it has the lowering kit for the dropouts. Need to check with the kids though...

I'll add my name to the Cruzee recommenders list.
Being so light was a great advantage for my young fellas, meant they could pick it up and handle it really easily.
The only thing I didn't really like was the plastic bushings for a headset, not that it was ever an issue, just looked like a weak point.

My youngest was the same. Got to the stage balance was no issue but I had to put on training wheels so he could learn to pedal. A week of that then the training wheels came off again.

Maybe save your dolla-bucks on the balance bikes and destroy the competition in the battle for favorite grandparent with something like this in a few years time...

Didnt pay $250 for this custom title
We got our young fella a Mocka one - Mocka Rocket Bikes - Black | Kids Balance Bikes
$100, and bulletproof
They look the same as the Little Nation ones - they'll be heavy.
One thing the Cruzee has going for it (other than weight) is the QR seatpost and stem for sizing up - I've not seen another bike with this

Thanks for all the responses...
Just rang the new to us LBS, and they have a Norco Runner on sale for roughly half price at $129... apparently very light, ultra low standover, but does have 10" pneumatic tyres, and in Red which is cool. Is 10" wheels a show stopper? Anyway, still looking.

Red is faster but tends to lead to anger issues

Wouldn't think 10" would be a problem, reckon the one we had was around that size. For us pneumatic tire would be a no deal as three corner jack is freaking everywhere around here.

his flabber is totally gastered
That's why dad's were invented. Just ask Billy.
Ask @moorey, pretty sure he still runs this size wheel.

Yeah funny that… after I asked the question, I immediately thought of 26/27.5/29 and weirdly also Moorey too. Where the fjck is he? Has he decamped or been Zaffed or something. Every second post had him on it, now it’s like hen’s teeth.
He bought a 36er and is keeping quiet.

We just bought our almost 2yo a Cruzee for his birthday coming up. He has something called a Flip Bike (scooter wheels and folds in half with some press buttons) but hasn't shown much interest in it yet. He just wants to turn it over and 'work' on the wheels with an allen key.

You just can’t escape it. When I was in hospital I was chatting to my neighbor in the next bed, a lovely 60 something lady, of course telling her how it happened. Within hours she was getting ads for MTB stuff on her phone and she knows no one that’s has a mtb and no reason to get the ads except from what her phone overheard from our chat.
