I was totally about pink when I had Ruthie, but I LOVE flora... and for that reason, I'd pick Flora... but if I were buying one for Ruthie... SIGH... I'd get the pinkest thing out there... since she was two, she's been ALL about pink... such a tomboy, but she'll tell you her favorite color is pink... if she has a choice of colors on an item, she'll pick pink... so there it is.
aka... I'd do what you did... and let my child pick.
It's why, if they hadn't had the blush vivos, my daughter would be going into a turbobooster as a main seat when she's 6 (and it'd be what's in her ticker's pic right now)
it's why I ordered a whole new cover for her Nautilus when they became available... kids get so little say in a lot of things... and when they have a definite preference, and it's within reason... I try to accomodate.
I think color preference (unless out of budget or inappropriate thing) is one of them.
