Little Tikes My First Balance 2 Pedal Balance Bike (Green)

Product Information

It can also help your child develop balance, coordination and motor control skills from an early age. For single-track-loving families, the Dirt Hero is also a phenomenal replacement for a small MTB pedal bike!

The REV 12 features air-filled tires and thoughtful kid-specific design elements such as a low top tube and a seat height that you can adjust by 4 inches. The Too Too comes with cushioning air tires, a true headset with height adjustability, a handbrake, and angled tire valves that make pumping those small tires up much easier.

If you think this might be the problem, remove these other distractions and only offer up the balance bike as a possibility. But during our testing, the kids avoided riding this bike, likely because of its 15-pound weight, nearly double that of any of the other bikes we tested.

This all-new balance bike transitions easily between Balance Mode and Pedal Mode and back again so your kid can learn to ride at their own speed. Communication, physical and emotional skills continue to develop as your child moves through school! But sitting on the Woom 1 and braking is likely to result in a sharper stop than on the Guardian Balance Bike. Endorsed by a Stellenbosch University study which proved that the YBIKE Original encourages substantial improvements in balance, coordination and self-confidence.pounds, this model is one of the lightest balance bikes we tested, with air-filled rubber tires that have just enough knobbiness to both grip the dirt and speed over pavement. Both the handlebars and seat are adjustable, so the My First Balance-to-Pedal Bike grows as your kid does and is easy to transition to riders of different skill levels and heights. This suggested age range may be based on what age range the manufacturer recommends will like the product best, or what age range is appropriate based on safety information and restrictions. Once they can balance on their own, they learn to use a handbrake (if the bike has one) and to coast.

The integrated footrest allows for free wheeling and coasting once you have speed up and drop bar handles not only look great but offer 2 hand positions, either on the hoods or when they have developed their confidence on the tops. From children that still need an extra hand to the ones that are ready to roar, our complete line of kid’s tricycles and trikes are designed for all stages of riding development.They never come with push bars for adults to assist the child, as there is no use for them; one of the greatest advantages of a balance bike is that very young kids can ride them all on their own. You cannot add pedals to just any balance bike, but there are a few balance bikes that are designed to convert to pedal bikes. As a result, while the Guardian balance bike is a stand-out option, the SureStop brakes shouldn’t play a major role in your purchasing decision if you’re comparing it to a balance bike with a high-quality single handbrake.

For kids ages 5 and up, removing the pedals of a regular bike is a good and affordable option, but is unpractical for toddlers and preschoolers.These bikes help tots learn to steer, brake, balance, and ride—making the eventual graduation to a pedal bike easier than it might be with training wheels.
