Definitely scooter?balance bikes are great but much more hit and miss (mine prefers a regular bike with stabilisers, he had used a balance bike loads with his childminder but it became clear that getting one would've been a bit of a waste as he loves his regular bike), we use the scooter every day to get to nursery and getting around out and about whereas bike is a bit more of a separate activity.

It probably depends on the individual toddler in terms of how much they love the balance bike whereas scooters seem to be pretty much a universal hit.

Scooter didn't work for us at all but my son loved his balance bike. He just learnt to ride a proper bike and having used a balance bike before he had a very smooth transition.

I think whether a scooter or a balance bike works (or both) is dependent on the individual child. You may want to borrow them/ buy cheaply second hand before forking out for a new one. For us the mini micro was a waste of sixty quid.

Both but absolutely get a balance bike, your child will be a much safer cyclist and you'll save yourself a lot of trouble when it comes to transitioning to a pedal bike with no stabilisers. They may not take to the balance bike straight away but try it again in a couple of months if they don't. Both of my sons transitioned from balance bike to pedal bike (without stabilisers) literally in minutes, about five, I'm not kidding! The youngest has been on a pedal bike since he was 2!! They sometimes need a push off but that's it. You can get cheap ones from toys r us or get second hand or beg for hand me downs. Good luck.

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
