About this deal

Her mum Nicola thought it was the best-looking balance bike she'd seen and was impressed by the hard-wearing paint. With a lightweight composite frame, it has 30cm air wheels for a smooth, safe ride and is made of replaceable, recyclable components. The higher-spec balance bikes tend to have brakes, scaled down to child size, either on both wheels or just on the rear wheel. His mum Kayleigh said it was light enough for him to get full use out of it, adding, “It also seems very durable and could be used for multiple ages due to the changing height of the seat. Thanks to a seat post that can be adjusted with a lever and handlebars that can be rotated with an Allen key (included) to alter the reach, it can be perfectly adjusted to fit a growing rider.

We also like the footrests and the quick-release clamps for tool-free handlebar and seat adjustment. Meanwhile Gino, dad of child tester Eliza (pictured above), 3, was impressed with the bike's versatility and durability.

I can go super fast now on this new bike,” was the verdict of our child tester Jack, 3 (pictured above). For a child starting their cycling journey a little later, this convertible balance-to-pedal bike is ideal it converts in 2 ways, both from a smaller balance bike suitable for riders with a minimum inside leg measurement of 37cm (around 3 to 4 years old) to a larger balance bike suitable for riders with an inside leg measurement up to 55cm (around 6 years old) and to a first pedal bike for riders from about the age of 4. Its super-lightweight frame means it's easy for parents and even children to lift or carry the bike where necessary. Suitable for riders with a minimum inside leg measurement of 40cm, the bike is ideally suited to taller 3 year olds and 4 to 5 year olds who want to get to grips with balancing and steering before moving onto pedalling on the same cycle.

The Kinderkraft Rapid is sturdy yet lightweight, and it’s ideal for children coming to cycling for the first time as its limited-turn handlebars stop little ones careering out of control while they find their confidence. Opinion is divided on what's best: balance bikes can be stopped perfectly well with feet but some argue that it's good to learn about braking before you venture on to a bike with pedals – and better for your shoe leather. It has a really useful handle, which is great when their little legs get tired, and we end up carrying the bike! Solid tyres – either plastic or rubber, often filled with foam – are a bit bumpier but are cheaper and don’t puncture. With a sturdy frame, bouncy air-filled tyres, bell and angled footrest, this well-built bike will last for years.It’s not built to span a big age range – it fits a child with an inside leg measurement of 31cm to 41cm – which might limit its appeal if you’re looking for longevity. without stability wheels | Brakes: No | Wheels: 8in | Tyres: Solid rubber | Seat height: 35cm to 46. You need to know your child's inside leg (or inseam) measurement and you need to know the seat height of the balance bike. Your child starts off sitting on the bike and pushing themselves along with their feet, learning to steer.
