The Micro brand is a leading brand in the world of scooters, and it's name is synonymous with quality and durability. Micro has now ventured into the world of balance bikes, with its creation the microbike.

If it is too heavy, kids won’t be able to push it along with their feet and it can actually be a safety risk if it falls on them.

The mini micro scooter is known for being lightweight and strong. Likewise, the micro bike is light and strong too. It weighs, just 2.45kg. However, although it is very light which makes it easy for 3 year olds to manoeuvre, it isn't the lightest out there, with the cruzee being much lighter.The Cruzee is super comfortable and therefore enjoyable to ride with soft grips, a super comfy seat and low-profile axle bolts This makes maintenance a breeze since you don’t even have to worry about adding any pressure to the tires. 4. Sturdy wooden frame Put the saddle at its lowest point when they are just starting out and then gradually raise it as they grow taller. inches (33cm) should be fine for most kids of this age group. At the other end, the highest seat height is 15 inches (38cm) so it’s not the best choice of balance bike for a very tall child as there isn't be much growing room.

Although the bike looks small the lowest seat height is 33cm inches (13 inches) so your child should have an inseam of around 14 inches (35.6cm) to be able to ride this bike. They don’t contain air like normal bikes. Instead, they use a foam material. They are solid through and through but still very light.Some balance bikes for 3 to 5 year olds have 14 inch wheels so this size of wheel is something to consider as well. This Bikestar bike weighs just 1.9kg. Even a small 2-year old kid can easily handle it safely. They will have no problem riding it even when going up an incline. Tyres are generally either made of EVA foam or are airfilled. Both have advantages and disadavtages. EVA foam are puncture proof and are great for going along surfaces such as pavements and paths in the park. They never go flat. They weigh less than their airfilled counterparts, so add less weight to the balance bike. The micro bike has been well tested and with their name at stake, Micro will never put out a bike which isn't excellent quality. However, there are bikes such as the Cruzee that give the Micro a good run for their money and may just pip them out the post. Brakes or no brakes? The higher-spec balance bikes tend to have brakes, scaled down to child size, either on both wheels or just on the rear wheel. Budget bikes tend not to have them. 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. We'd say that, roughly speaking, a child probably doesn't have the hand/eye coordination for using brakes until about 2.5 to 3.5 years.
