pandarilla Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Given kids learn to ride bikes anyway and always have done this sounds like a marketing wheeze to sell you two bikesThat could be said about almost every invention that makes things slightly easier.My wee one loved his balance bike. And the experts say that it's good preparation for learning to ride a bike as opposed to the old stabilizers way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balance bike! I got put on an adult sized two wheeler and shoved down a hill. I soon learned how to balance, never did me any harm.

Robin.Hood Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I have air vents in my attic , I believe small little birds are managing to get inside. What do I cover the air vents with that will stop this from happening ? I am slowly but surely getting the attic done up but noticed this inconvenience 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downside is I have a fair bit of insulation right infront it.

You'll need to wait until after nesting season, before putting up mesh. Thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s just turned 3, I’d advise getting a one with a brake, or put cheap shoes/trainers on him. Most don’t have brakes. The confidence they get is unreal, this wee shite is fearless on his and he’s coming up 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Is it possible to get a shed utilising one of the walls of your house. I want to build a wee shed, it's a long but narrow space and I feel this would save space and potentially money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They erected (steady Matron) it and it's been both solid and fully waterproof. Worth a wee look. https://www.bing.com/search?q=forestcraft&pc=cosp&ptag=G6C9N1520ABDE98A3969&form=CONBDF&conlogo=CT3210127 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
