Product Details

The bike features inflatable tyres with puncture protection for a smooth ride, a comfortable and adjustable seat that grows with your child, handlebar impact protection, and a cantilever/coaster brake system. The one-piece pedal system easily attaches to the underside of the seat system when your child is ready and it even comes with reflectors and a bell. There are several options for the frame material, so you’ll need to consider which suits your needs best. You’ll find a variety of balance bikes utilizing steel, aluminium, plastic, and wood. The steel frame is hard wearing and a bit heavier than many of the other options, which is why it’s unsuitable for younger kids. The beautiful paint finish gives the WeeRide Deluxe a seriously trendy and high-quality feel, which is added to by the soft two-tone padded seat.

My 15 month old LOVES this bike!!! She plays with it all over our house. She’s very petite and on the lowest setting of the bike, she can go anywhere with ease. – Ben If you’re unfamiliar with balance bikes, many consider them to be the best learner bike out there. With a traditional bike, your child will lead with pedalling, rather than their own balance, which can cause problems when training wheels are removed.

The steel alloy frame on this bike is really solid and because it converts into a pedal bike it is a little heavier than some of the other options on this list but they really are built to last. The bike is actually available with either 12″, 14″, 16″, or 18″ tyres so even those latecomers to cycling can try a balance bike first. We have this Hornit AIRO balance bike at home and my kids are currently hard at work testing it out! Read our full review here! Stage two is the balance bike mode where pedals and stabilisers are removed as core coordination, strength and skill improve to allow 'push off' and balance via freewheeling. The wide EVA moulded wheels with mag wheel inner provide extra stability and the deep tread tyres offer a strong yet comfortable ride with excellent grip. Both saddle and handlebars are adjustable in height to suit children as they grow and gain in confidence and a soft saddle and hand grips provide additional comfort whilst learning. I highly recommend this classic bike from Kinderfeets. We’ve found it to be a great first bike for kids (our niece has one too) and we love that it’s growing with our daughter so it’s been a smart investment.

They’re ideal for children who use a lot of strength to push themselves or are comfortable going downhill and want a place to rest their feet while coasting. This bike has a plastic seat with a leather coating that is adjustable in height, from 29cm to 41cm, and it has adjustable handlebars, from 48cm to 61cm, with soft plastic grips for added comfort. It’s suitable for kids aged 2 to 6 years and the frame comes with a lifetime warranty! We take the quality of our bikes seriously, which is why we offer a lifetime guarantee* on frames and forks. Stage one is the pedal bike where riders can get used to pedalling and steering with the aid of rear stabilisers.Also, consider how heavy you want the bike to weigh in the event you end up carrying it around because they lose interest while out and about. Still on the fence? The Hornit AIRO even comes with a free lifetime warranty on the frame and forks which shows just how much they believe in their product! If you are looking for a balance bike to help your toddler transition to the next step after their ride on toys, then this Bluey Balance Bike might be the right choice for you. This lightweight, but sturdy bike has an adjustable seat that can grow with your child. The bike has no pedals for their little feet, instead they will have to rely on their feet and legs to walk and keep their balance on the bike. The next thing that impressed me was that it comes fully assembled! I was expecting to have to put pieces together and build something but nope it slides straight out of the box and I just had to adjust the handlebars and seat to the correct height.
