This kids balance bike has no pedals, so children push with their feet and learn to balance and steer. It has a magnesium alloy frame, inflatable tires and adjustable components, with 12-inch or 14-inch wheels. Colors are Chinese Red, Matte Black, Vitality Blue and Princess Pink.
Many parents remember training wheels and the day someone pushed them down the street. A balance bike lets children learn balance first, without heavy equipment or a hand on the seat, so the step to pedaling later feels smaller.
What people like about a balance bike is that a child can learn at their own pace. They begin by walking with the bike between their legs, then glide, then lift their feet. The lighter frame is easier for small children to handle, the inflatable tires give a smoother ride and adjustable parts let the bike grow a little with them.
When comparing balance bikes, check weight, wheel size and adjustability. Choose the 12-inch or 14-inch wheel according to your child's size and leg length.
If your child is between 2 and 6 and wants to ride, a balance bike is a friendly first step. Children should always wear a helmet.
