The Halfords Mini Racer Bike is available from the Halfords website, and in-store but I can't really say I have ever seen one when I have been into a Halfords. My brother works for Halfords and says they are safe and fun for children ...
...toddler. According to the Halfords website, the bike is suitable for children aged 3 years and over, which is possibly why Harry was so scared of it last Christmas!
