Which balance bike should you choose for your child?
There are a lot of options to consider if you are looking for a balance bike for your toddler or pre-school child, so we wanted to share some information from Strider Sports about balance bikes.
Here’s the list of features that are important to balance bike success:
The STRIDER bike
1. The balance bike must be very light relative to the toddler. Balance bikes range in weight from 2.9kg to 8 kg.One from the 7kg range may not seem like much, but to a 2 year old even a couple of extra grams is a lot. Look for a balance bike that’s as light as possible!
2. A quality balance bike will have a wide range of size adjustment. Toddlers grow quickly and come in all shapes and sizes. Seat height adjustment and handlebar height adjustment are key features to make sure the balance bike will fit and grow with your toddler!
3. The last feature that’s important falls in the category of having a balance bike that will continue to develop your toddler’s riding skills to make the transition to a pedal bike seamless. A balance bike really needs footrests so that when the Toddler is balancing (riding the bike) they have a place to put their feet, just like they would if their feet were on pedals. Pedals sit right below the seat of a bike. So it’s important the footrests are right below the seat too. You also don’t want the footrests to get in the way of a toddler’s legs while they are pushing the bike with their feet.
In summary, keep your toddler’s balance bike as light and simple as possible and your toddler will easily develop their own riding skills using their imagination!
