Chicco Balance Bike | First Bike for Kids, Anti-Puncture Wheels, Fully Adjustable, for Children up to 25kg, 18 months +

Product Information

They are also meant to help with balance, therefore making it easier to later learn to ride a bike with pedals and no stabilisers. The handlebar also has a limited turn angle, which is a great safety feature to stop kids from over steering and accidentally falling.

The bike looks really great all put together, and is really sturdy feeling, without being too heavy – Lydia can easily lift it herself to go up stairs, and so on. Two hubs at the bottom of the frame, which allow footrests to be added, actually stick out on either side of the frame. With an adjustable seat and handlebars, there’s plenty of scope for this to last for many years and once they’ve cracked balancing on this, moving onto a pedal bike should be a breeze. The best balance bikes are loved, ridden and handed down to siblings and friends and can encourage a lifelong love of cycling.Balance Bike ECO+ toys has the exact same high quality standards as any other Chicco product, both in terms of playability and product safety. If you start on a Tadpole then don't be surprised if you get hooked - they do all sorts of kids bikes from standard hybrids through to road, track and mountain bikes for those Sprogs that really get the cycling bug! Specially designed for beginners, the Green Rocket is the first step to a life-long love of cycling.

The older one had stabilisers on his bike and was the same – i think they both give children extra confidence in the saddle.

Balance bikes do sound great as a stepping stone, fortunately with a bit of bribery we managed to get our two riding bikes, but it wasn’t easy! The Tadpole Mini is sized for ages 18 months and over, the standard Frog Tadpole is for roughly ages 2-3 years and the larger Tadpole Plus for ages 3-4 years.A very popular choice when I asked the parents to recommend the best balance bikes were the Strider Balance Bikes. One thing to be aware of, even though these balance bikes are small, kids can pick up quite a lot of speed when riding on them, so always make sure they are wearing a helmet. They are well constructed to last the abuse that their riders will inflict, and come recommended by many different parents. The Pink Arrow helps develop the balance and confidence your child needs to use a real 2-wheeled bike.
