We bought our oldest a trike at 2 and it was close to a yr before she could ride it. We bought her a 12" Huffy shortly after her 3 rd bday which she can still ride but we got her a 16" bike for her 4th bday next week. Our youngest is 26 months and while he can reach the pedals on the Radio Flyer trike he can't pedal yet, he can't reach the pedals on the 12" Huffy. So I know this doesn't answer your exact ? but maybe opt for a trike at this age if it means you don't have to drive out of town or settle for a bike you don't like... :)
