    Balance Bikes

    A balance bike is a pedal-free bike for first rides. Your child pushes with their feet and learns to steer.

    Fit comes first. Both feet should reach the ground. They should stand over the frame and stop without help. Use the seat-height range on the product page, not age alone.

    Then compare the weight of the bike and the colours. One frame is metal. One is a lighter plastic.

    Open the two product pages. Check seat height, weight and whether your child can start and stop.

    Balance bike questions

    How should a balance bike fit?

    Both feet should reach the ground.

    • Your child can stand over the frame.
    • They can start and stop without help.

    Use the seat-height range on the product page, not age alone.

    What is the difference between the two bikes?

    Same job. Different frame.

    • One uses a metal frame.
    • One uses a lighter plastic frame.

    Compare weight, seat height and colours on each product page.

    What should I compare before I choose?

    Keep the list short.

    1. Seat height.
    2. Weight of the bike.
    3. Whether your child can steer and stop.
    Does a balance bike have pedals?

    No. That is the point.

    • Your child pushes with both feet.
    • They learn to steer and stop.

    Pedals come later, on a different bike.

    When is my child ready?

    When they can stand, steer and stop.

    • Both feet reach the ground.
    • They can start without being held.

    Use seat height, not age alone.

    How do I check seat height?

    Use the range on the product page.

    1. Set the seat in that range.
    2. Check both feet on the ground.
    3. Check they can stand over the frame.

    If the seat is too high, wait or pick the other bike.
