The Best Kids Balance Bikes on the Market

Balance bikes are the perfect way to get your child into cycling

Balance bikes have long been popular in other countries and in Switzerland you’re unlikely to see a small child on anything but a pedal-free set of wheels and now the craze is finally spreading around the UK too.

For a toddler, learning to ride a bike can be a scary task, especially if they’re skipping the tricycle stage and going straight for a two-wheeler. But with a balance bike, that initial fear is taken away from them as they are able to push off with their legs and start pushing themselves along, stopping as easily as they started.

Balance bikes are a great way to build a tot’s confidence on two wheels and to harness their cycling skills. After a year or two on a balance bike, it won’t take them two minutes to master a set of pedals too.
