Bike for Christmas?

Ok ladies!! I wanted to get something really cool for my soon to be 5 year old girl who is such a tomboy and hangs with the big kids just fine. I have two questions: 1.) Is it fair to give a kid a bike for Christmas when they can't even use it for several more months? 2) If you know, which is better, the Razor rip-rider or the Huffy Green Machine?
Thanks!!

What can I do next?

I'm planning to get my son a bike for Christmas, he can ride it in the basement or garage until the snow melts!

We used to ride our bikes in the winter when I lived up north. You can shovel the driveway, put down litter or saw dust and let her do circles and figure 8s.
A bike is THE iconic Christmas gift. It's the wide eyes amazing WOW gift. Go for the glory.

I have an end of Novenber birthday. My whole childhood I watched my sister , the MArch Bday girl, get the cool gifts and clothes, like swimsuits and bikes. I got inside toys and turtle necks. ugh

Get her the bike.

I never did a bike for Christmas for my kids but only because they all have spring birthdays. Don't know what it is like where you are at but around here we get a lot of indian summers so they may be able to get some use.

Troy and I bought ourselves bikes for Christmas last year and we took them out any time we wouldn't freeze to death. Yeah we are big kids.

I have no idea about those bikes my kids are a bit older.

Absolutely! A bike is an awesome Christmas present...Santa delivers lots of bikes--how does he do that? That's what basements and garages are for.
LOTS of kids get bikes for Christmas--even in snowy Pennsylvania.....
As for which bike--no clue. Sorry :(

I say yes get the bike. We had gotten my daughter a bike for christmas and I let her ride it in the house. We lived in PA at the time so it was too cold outside. I am sorry I don't know which is better. I would check out on line reviews of them both from different websites.

I have not gotten my daughter a bike for Christmas. Here in Minnesota it can be May before we ride bikes outdoors. And we don't have any indoor space big enough for practicing. We do have a basement big enough for a Razor scooter and a Pogo stick, though. Both gifts she has really loved!
