Balance Bike Makes Learning Fun and Safe #MegaChristmas17
How many of us can remember learning to ride a bike? I must admit that memory is a bit foggy. However, I can remember when my daughter was first learning to ride. It was thrilling, scary, and satisfying all at the same time to say the least. At that time, we had never heard of a Balance Bike, but wait until you see what a genius idea they are!
About Balance Bike
Balance Bikes are bicycles without pedals that help teach children how to ride at an earlier age. Unlike training wheels, a balance bike teaches children counterbalance providing a safer, faster learning experience.
What is a Balance Bike?
Balance Bikes are bikes made for children ages 3+. These adorably fun bikes are “push” bikes. In other words, they have no pedals or training wheels. Your child learns to focus on the important part of balancing on the bicycle. This differs from a bike with training wheels. On bikes with training wheels, kids become dependent on them for balancing instead of focusing on how. Training wheels can also be a pain when they hang up on things or get stuck.
One of the biggest advantages of a Balance Bike is that kids can progress at their own pace. As kids gain confidence, they will feel encouraged to balance on two wheels. If they ever lose balance, they can simply place their feet back on the ground. How genius is that?!
As with any training bike, the main goal is to help them transition to the first bicycle. With these toddler bikes, the transition is made almost effortlessly. Not only will children love practicing, but they will have control over safety and be able to take charge of their learning speed.
My Thoughts on the Balance Bike
I can only look back and wish my daughter had a Balance Bike when she was small. It would have made the process a lot simpler. My comparison would be learning to drive a stick shift. For some, it is hard to learn to change gears and shift at the same time. Even for learning a stick shift, learning one process at a time would make it so much easier!
If your little one is wishing for a bicycle for Christmas, visit Balance Bike and take a look! They come in several fun colors and are sure to bring a giant smile to their face!

These are so nice and great for the kids. My grandchildren have one of these. Thank you for sharing
My little sweetie would love this pink bike!
Terrific bike for beginners — like that their feet stay on the ground.
I learned to ride at much later date than most of my friends. This would be great.
This is such a unique product. I haven’t heard of it before. I think it’s great that it allows so much control for the child.
My daughter has gross motor issues, and her occupational therapist recommends this bike. It will really help her strength, balance and coordination. I am hoping to win this for my little girl.
I would love a balance bike for my nephew. I was just discussing this with my sister for her grandson this weekend. We were discussing a balance bike versus training wheels. I would love one of these for him. Thank you.
My granddaughter would totally love to learn on that pink one!
This would be perfect for my granddaughter. A great start.
I so like the idea that kids can progress at their own pace and really feel comfortable and in control as they learn to balance on a bike.
I love seeing the youngsters at the park learning to ride using these. They just zip around.
my granddaughter would love this bike, perfect for Beginners
I’d love to teach the kiddos to ride using one of these
I remember being older than my friends when I finally learned to ride. I think these bikes are so good at building confidence and skill in bike riding.
My daughter has gross motor and balance issues. This is the bike that her Occupational Therapist wants her to get. It would really help her.
I wish these were available when my daughter was growing up.
I wish there were balance bikes when I was a kid. This would be great for my niece. Thanks for the chance.
These bikes are so cool! They didn’t have balance bikes when I was a kid, but I know that it would have been such a great way to learn! I would love to get one for my youngest daughter. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Don’t know why someone didn’t think of this sooner. My 4 year old great grand daughter has a bike with training wheels. Was going to get her another nike this spring and teach her to ride without training wheels. Would love to get her a Balance Bike. Wouldn’t worry about skinned knees.
A Balance Bike is the #1 item on my daughter’s Christmas list. She has gross motor and balance issues, and this would really help her!
That’s a really cool bike, my grands would love it.
