skinned knees, elbows and chin. She seems to like riding her Jugglebug
all the way to the ground, literally! Her elbow pads slide down so we
could get some new ones. My husband would like to start our 3 year old
if he can find a 12 somewhere. And the baby will be 12 months by
Detroit nationals... too early????
We bought two (I'm optimistic that both my 3 yr old daughters will
learn to ride) Sun 12" unicycles from UDC. http://tinyurl.com/knk3p
The biggest problem with them is that the cranks have to be very short.
There is almost no room to tilt the unicycle when the pedal is in the
down position. Another problem was that we had to go to a shorter seat
post because our girls were still too short to reach the pedals. (We
could have cut the post, but the nice folks at UDC helped us out when
they were here for NAUCC 2006.) Our girls aren't quite ready to learn
yet, so we just hold them on their unicycles whenever they want to ride
a little bit.
We did see a 4 year old girl riding at NAUCC 2006 and she was very
impressive. She learned when she was 3 I believe.
