About this deal

Our top pick from Guardian (left) and our upgrade pick from Woom both feature a 7-inch stand-over height, a handbrake, and a steering limiter. When sitting, the child should be able to put their feet flat on the floor or ground, and nearly all their weight should be on the saddle. Reasonable weight: Multiple retailers we spoke with suggested that a good balance bike should not weigh more than 30% of a child’s weight; for example, a bike should be 9 pounds or lighter for a 30-pound kid. Lo único malo es que los pedales cuando están plegados para el modo balance son un poco bromosos y ya mi hija se ha quejado porque le lastiman un poco.

The air-filled, treaded tires on the Guardian bike find traction on all surfaces, and the wide wheelbase (the distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels) allows for better balance. On top of that, whereas many companies offer bikes in just a couple of colors, Guardian currently gives you six options, ranging from black to hot pink. A versatile little workhorse with best-in-class components, the Ripple comes complete with wide air tires, a Cane Creek headset, a caliper hand brake, and an extended seat post. span itemprop="description">The peddles fold back but still hit my sons legs when pushing himself forward.

Cannondale’s Kids Trail Balance bike (it comes in boys’ and girls’ versions, which are identical apart from the colors) is unique, with its single-sided lefty-style fork, made famous on Cannondale’s big mountain bikes. But sitting on the Woom 1 and braking is likely to result in a sharper stop than on the Guardian Balance Bike. Don’t force the complexity of pedals onto a child that isn’t ready and who is still enjoying their balance bike! The seat adjustability—between 10 and 14 inches—offers the shortest starting point of any bike we tried, the benefit of which was obvious during testing, as the shortest kids took to the Woom 1 immediately. The gorgeous, aluminum LittleBig three-in-one model is a hybrid balance pedal bike like the Strider 14x Sport.

It is easy to install (even for a female rushing to have everything setup alone), it has got pedals that can be folded in and the bike is actually very sturdy. But over the past few years, models from other brands—such as Guardian and Woom—have outpaced this basic bike by offering additional safety and education features, such as steering limiters and handbrakes. A properly fitted balance bike can allow kids as young as 18 months to learn to balance on two wheels with astonishing speed. 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.

With comfortable, upright body positioning, large 14″ air tires, a removable “surfboard” footrest and turning limiter, and DUAL hand brakes (a rare find in balance bikes), the woom 1 Plus is the ultimate confidence-building, larger balance bike. Communication, physical and emotional skills continue to develop as your child moves through school! No need for training wheels, once a child has learned to balance while in balance bike mode, simply put on the pedals and within a couple of minutes they’ll be pedaling away!

A fairly long wheelbase (the distance between the centers of the front and back wheels) makes the bike inherently more stable. Once they can balance on their own, they learn to use a handbrake (if the bike has one) and to coast. For those aggressive riders who are ready to tackle jumps or varied terrains, the Cub 2 is also available in a Plus model which features air tires, a rust-free aluminum frame, and a handbrake. Though the steel-framed Banana Bike GT offers two of the most important features for beginning riders—a low-enough stand-over height of 8 inches and light weight of 6.If that seat-to-bar distance is too great, the child will be hunched over and placing too much weight on the handlebars. ca base "Our Suggested Age" ranges on these manufacturer recommendations, as well as considering which ages will enjoy the product. The unique design includes dual rear wheels and high ground clearance allowing for greater maneuverability and a fun safe ride. When your kid no longer needs the limiter—that is, when they get old enough or skilled enough to maintain handlebar control—you can simply pop off the O-ring and let it dangle.

Compared with our top pick, this balance bike can accommodate a slightly taller kid, which means it might get more use over time. If your child doesn’t seem interested, keep the bike around so they can see it and use it when they feel the time is right. is a great balance bike for young toddlers itching to get started on their balance bike journey before their second birthday. These bikes are a little bigger that our smallest choices, and are sized to fit toddlers in at least 24 months pants. It also offers a long, stable wheelbase, as well as a remarkable seat-height range of 15 to 22 inches.Built for the true off-road balance bike enthusiast, the Dirt Hero balance bike (by Kids Ride Shotgun) lives up to its name and offers an exceptional ride for toddlers and preschooler riding beyond the pavement. to 16 inches, but the handlebars adjust only forward and backward, not up and down, providing a more limited range than on some of the other bikes we tried. With Strider’s excellent step-by-step instructions (also available in a video), the initial buildout was a simple 10-minute process. 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.
