We’ve taken a close look at this bike and were really impressed. They’ve designed Kidvelo Rookie 12 balance bike from the ground up with all the attention to detail you’d expect from people who’ve spent most of their careers working with balance bikes. The secret of a balance bike is that it breaks the skill of cycling into its component parts and focuses on balance taking pedalling completely out of the equation. From around two years old, a child has the potential to gain mastery balancing on two wheels steering intuitively by leaning. Perfecting the art of balance in this way is time well spent, as the cognitive skill of coordination needs another year or so to develop. You can’t ‘hothouse’ this skill but its all about being able to divide one’s attention, small scale multi-tasking! Come that day, your child has the potential to balance and pedal at the same time. Then with the right guidance and product, your child should make a smooth transition to riding a bicycle independently. Sometimes it happens in an afternoon with much excitement all round. But is a scooter easier? Get a helmet, slow tip overs like a kid would experience learning to ride a bicycle can definitely leads to head trauma without a helmet which still has its impact resistance. (After a crash or bang some helmets lose their ability to keep you safe. Keep a helmet on their head when around bikes if you don’t want the to have long term brain damage. The best balance bikes are loved, ridden and handed down to siblings and friends. They help children progress confidently to pedal bikes and can encourage a lifelong love of cycling.

The Vitus Nippy Balance Bikeis really lightweight, small and really cheap! At just 1.9kg it's perfect for younger children who don't have the strength to manoeuvre a heavier bike, and who aren't ready for learning to use brakes.

Even if you don’t care that much about biking, there are plenty of other reasons your toddler should have a bike. Bicycles provide exercise, get your kids outdoors, and help build confidence. Balance bikes, in particular, can also develop and improve your child’s gross motor skills.

Once a toddler has mastered a balance bike (or a pedal bike without training wheels), you can then switch them to a 12″ pedal bike without training wheels. This can be as young as 2.5 or 3 years old depending on your child’s interest and ability level. To help you choose the best balance bike for your toddler, I asked Cycle Sprog readers, plus the members of two cycling Facebook Groups which balance bikes their children used, whether they'd recommend them and why, plus included a couple of bikes we've been impressed with ourselves. Many of these balance bikes have been ridden and loved over the years, often by more than one child.An excellent way of writing, in this article you very politely explained that how many types of bicycles are for the kids. If your child is going to be biking outdoors, make sure to invest in a real bicycle (balance bike or pedal bike) that has pneumatic (air) tires rather than those with foam or plastic. Plastic is almost never a good choice; foam tires can be okay for very mild use in the driveway. As your child progresses through their (hopefully not so terrible) two's a balance bike becomes the natural choice.
