What kind of trikes do you recommend for a big 2 and a half year old. I want to get my son a trike but he is so big I don't want to get one that won't last very long. He is 3 feet tall and about 35 -36 pounds. i'm almost tempted to get him a regular bike with training wheels. Any suggestions?

My daughter is 3.5 and when she was that age I got her a trike. She is afraid to ride her bike, I don't know why.......But she's been riding that trike since she was 2.5 and she weighs 36lbs. It's a nice sturdy one. It's really up to you. Why don't you just take him shopping and see what suits him better?
