Tamiya GB-02 is also a small car - 1/18th buggy.
1/10th-ish rock crawlers would be great I think, very slow, 4wd, lots of steering, reverse. Considered one for my daughter. The downside is that 1/10th scale has a higher starting cost, but the upside is that you can share electrics with your 1/10th race car. Perhaps the bubble has already burst for crawlers in the UK and you could pick up a bargain, I'm sure I saw the Yokomo crawler kit being advertised for £100 new on ebay, including ESC.
Biggest problem with a 3-year old is finding a transmitter to fit little hands! My daughter is a tall 2.5 year old (wears 3-4 clothes), and she can't get her hands round the smallest transmitter I have seen, which is the Kyosho Perfex wheel from a Mini Inferno. Sticks seem even harder for small hands to get around.
