Here is what I had in mind: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=134&pID=9160
I think that is a great gift idea and that he would love it!!

haha....I am the same way. The wife will ask me what I want for Christmas, and I just say.....you DON'T want to know lol. I have expensive taste also, but I don't let her get the pricey stuff. I support my own PMS I am perfectly happy watching her and my daughter open all of their stuff. I am having a hard time finding a GOOD tricycle for Arianna. They sure don't make em like they used to!

So, don't buy new.

If I were you I'd go down to your local antique row, Flagstaff must have one, and find an old metal tricycle thats in perfect condition.

Believe me, you'll find a nice one. Might take some lookin around though.

Montana Classic Tricycle and Wagon

I had bought this for my son when he was two, sadly he couldnt use it until he was 3-3 1/2..It was to big for him, or anyone else that age. He is 5 right now, and it is still in use.. all of the neighborhood kids jump on it.

The garmin is a great idea.. I love mine..

Great idea Lisa! And now that you mention it.......we have a "used furniture" store that always has a ton of tricycles lined up in front. I just didn't think about it......always helps to have a womans perspective. My brain has selective memory haha

Thanks babe. I have to go out and about today so I think I'll pick it up and wrap it and place it under the tree and let him sit and stare at it. He hates not knowin stuff.

Pat, my niece got one of those tricycles for her birthday this year. The thing is a monster. Some of the adults were riding it around! A bit big for the smaller kiddos though.

Female perspective, at your service. Hey maybe thats a career opportunity. I can rent myself out to the local husbands to help them buy gifts for their wives and kids.
