A balance bike is a perfect way to teach little ones about balance and speed control, before they graduate onto their ‘big kid’ bikes with pedals. They help develop coordination and control, so it’s the safer option for the younger kids that want to step up from their trikes and don’t want training wheels on their big bikes later on.

Lightweight and compact, there are a range of wooden and metal balance bikes at all different prices. Balance bikes are suited to kids 2 to 5 years old and make a great birthday or Christmas present!
