Whereas toddlers will find narrower handlebars easier when controlling the bike, as kids get older wider bars give the more comfort when riding.

Both have advantages and disadavtages. EVA foam are puncture proof and are great for going along surfaces such as pavements and paths in the park. They never go flat. They weigh less than their airfilled counterparts, so add less weight to the balance bike.The drop handle bars give this bike a grown up feel so they can be like older siblings (or Mum and Dad).

This is the length between the top of their crotch and the floor. The Early Rider is a wooden balance bike which is more eco friendly than a lot of it's counterparts and looks awesome too.
