Do you think this rocking/riding toy is for boys? Would you buy this for a girl? I thought it would be cool to get for dd for 1st bday but then I got to looking at it and the pix all have boys in them. I wish they had one in pink!

Personally- I don't think color matters! They don't know the difference! Those are usually our issues!!
It looks like fun! Go for it!

We have this bike and I have two girls. Both of my girls loved it and I did too since it has a nice big push bar. Now that they are older they always pick pink or purple bikes, but they didn't care at all when they were one.

I don't think it matters. If a girl would like a bike I say get it, when Hailey turned one we got her this...

Awww, my kids would have loved that, at one, and wouldn't have cared what color it was.

Thanks everyone - It doesn't really matter to me I guess but I know someone in my family will say it looks boy-ish!! We're getting it.

Hope this doesn't offend, but personally, I think it's a mistake to TOTALLY do pink toys for girls and blue toys for boys. Too much stereo-typing for my tastes. But that's JMO.....

Besides, that toy has the primary colors, which, IMO, are for any child. Most kids that age won't notice the color anyway, they will just enjoy the toy.

I will admit when they reach 3 or 4 years of age color will probably become an issue. I know it did with Jen at that age, and has with Madison too. But I would definitely get it and let her enjoy it!

My mom got it for my dd for her 1st bday and she is over 4 and still rides it. It's been a great toy and dd has never mentioned coloring and she's a purple freak.

I agree it's great, we have it and my daughter loves it. My daughter hates pink, she loves bright primary colors esp. red and yellow. Oh, I love that it converts 3 ways it's growing with her, too much fun!

I would get it too... colors don't matter to them as long as its fun.
