Whether they’re playing in the park or zooming around the garden, your little one will love this first introducion to bicycling. Once they gain confidence, the stabiliser can be removed and the bike converts to a traditional 2-wheeled design. With a lightweight frame and a comfy design, children will love balancing and moving with this My First Balance Bike.

A ride on is ideal for little legs to go on long adventures without having to be carried by parents or carers. With adjustable speeds, the walker also features a drum, xylophone and three spinning blocks for additional mucisal play.Her mum Nicola thought it was the best-looking balance bike she'd seen and was impressed by the hard-wearing paint. Now you can choose your favorite color of Chicco Balance Bike, among flaming red, shocking pink, blazing green and unicorn pink.

And some balance bikes also come with pedal attachments, so that you can turn it into a pedal bike later.

I liked that you could move the seat up and down to your child’s height without having to use tools like previous bikes we have had.

Your child starts off sitting on the bike and pushing themselves along with their feet, learning to steer. The saddle drops low enough for a child with an inside leg measurement of 30cm, making it suitable for first riders, while the upper weight limit of 30kg means a child could ride it for years and at least until they're old enough to transition to a pedal bike.

The advantage of balance bikes is that they make it easier for children to learn to ride a bike without wheels, as they have already acquired the notion of balance on a two-wheeled vehicle.

Designed with small children in mind, the comfortable saddle will fit any small child and the cushioned handlebars ensure easy grasping.

There are no standard sizes for balance bikes, so pretty much every make and model is different – even if they have exactly the same size wheels. Counting Counting See our fantastic range of Counting products, hand made by UK artisans from natural timber materials.
