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!!
So What Happened?™
Thank you all so much for the advice!! her birthday is in January, and thats not much better, but at least like you guys said she will LOVE it!!

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 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 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!
