What is a balance bike?

FAQs
A balance bike is suitable for children from about 12-18 months, provided they can walk independently.
A balance bike teaches children balance and coordination naturally. With a bike with training wheels, children don't learn this because they're always supported. Children who start with a balance bike often transition effortlessly to a regular children's bike without training wheels. This makes the balance bike the ideal preparation for real cycling.
Most children use a balance bike until they are about 4 or 5 years old.
