Along for the ride

A few months ago I was contacted by CSN stores to do either a review or giveaway.  I chose to do a review.  Amazingly I was lucky enough to win a $40 gift certificate giveaway to CSN stores from Chasing Marcus in the same week.  So we had a fair bit of money to play with.  Well I was like a kid in a candy shop and spent an obscene amount of time looking through their website.

We were hoping to get the Melissa and Doug dollhouse but unfortunately they don't ship to Canada so we decided on getting L a super duper Kawasaki big girl bike!!

L has been riding her strider bike since last December and I thought she was totally ready to start learning how to pedal.

So here it is!  L was SOOOO excited and we were amazed at how quickly it arrived.  It took her a little while to get the hang of the pedaling but now she's whizzing up and down the street.

The bike is very sturdy and will last her a good couple of years.  The amazing thing is that now when she goes back to her Strider bike she can coast and balance really well.  It won't be long before she makes the transition to riding this bike with no training wheels!

I though the service at CSN was great and the bike arrived much sooner than we expected.  Unfortunately I wouldn't order from them again only because of  international fees that are added on top of the price make it too expensive.
