Handlebar Heroes, £9.95-£12
Who wouldn’t want a Handlebar Hero to decorate the front of their bike? There’s no real purpose to them apart from the fact that they look really cool. The one pictured is the Princess Flowerbell which even comes with weatherproof foam stickers so your kid can decorate it themselves for a truly personal touch.
EZ Trainer Stabiliser, £18.50
After your kid has mastered their Tadpole balance bike, the next step is to get them on a pedal bike with stabilisers. Frog recommends the EZ Trainer Stabiliser which can easily be fitted to the Frog 43 and Frog 48 first hybrid bikes. These stabilisers absorb bumps from the road and keep the rear wheel firmly on the ground even on uneven road surfaces so you’re child feels safer whilst they are gaining confidence in their riding.
Kick-Stand, £7.50-£8.50
Kids are so easily excitable that when they become distracted by a cool looking tree to climb or a sweetshop in the distance they’re all too likely to chuck their bike on the ground and run towards it, damaging the bike’s paintwork in the process. A cheap and simple to fit kick-stand from Frog will enable them to jump off their bike and prop it up wherever they are in the same amount of time it would take them to chuck it on the ground.
Reflective Rucksack, £4
Not all kids will want to wear a high-vis jacket, so a Reflective Rucksack is a great compromise. One of these will ensure your child is visible on dark evenings and will also enable them to carry their own belongings so you don’t have to. Pair this with a High Visibility Vest and opt for an orange Frog bike and you’ll have the most visible kid ever.
Water Bottle and Cage, £9
Long family bike rides can be thirsty work and no one wants to be cycling uphill in the heat of the summer with a child lagging behind complaining that they’re thirsty; so grab them one of these water bottles and attach a bottle cage to their bike so they can carry it themselves and you’ll enjoy a more peaceful ride.
