What our experts think
This adjustable bike is ideal for helping children to develop confidence with their riding ability and it grows with them as they develop their balance, stability and coordination. The balance bike is great for teaching children about steering as it builds their confidence without worrying about falling off, before they progress to using the pedal bike. Our testers liked that it was easy to adjust the size and easy to use. Some of the younger children did need some adult help to guide the bike when they were a little unsteady, however, they enjoyed being able to mount it and scoot along independently. Some of the children even enjoyed using it in their role-play, pretending they were going to the shops!
