FirstBike Cross with brake balance bike review
|
|
Balance bikes, or running bikes as they are sometimes called, have no stabilisers or pedals, helping your child develop balance, co-ordination and confidence straightaway. As their confidence grows using the balance bike they can progress to a normal bike without the use of stabilisers.
FirstBike is manufactured in Germany and encourages a sense of balance quickly and intuitively. The FirstBike balance bike is suitable for ages 2-5 years.

| "This balance bike seemed dear when we bought it, but, with the lowering kit, our son has been able to use it from his second birthday. It's a lot lighter than the handful of cheaper balance bikes, and my hope is that it will last a bit better than some of the wooden ones. The lightness has worked well for us because, on days when we've managed to get home a bit early, we've been able to collect Number One Son from his Minder, go home, and then let him bike to Number Two Son's minder while we carry the Cross. Both kids love this." |

"Everybody who sees this bike comments on how good it looks, however the reason i like these bikes is you can bypass the stabilizers stage as they teach the kids how to balance without the worry of pedalling. By finding a little incline you can have hours of fun with the kids watching them learn how to balance.. you'll be amazed at how quick they actually pick it up!! Although still relatively new it looks like it could take a few knocks and it looks great so i can definately recommend this bike to anyone looking for the best and easiest way of teaching the kids to ride."

Our research suggests:
The FirstBike range of balance bikes takes the pedal-free bike to another level of quality. They are lighter weight being made from carbon fibre and the home assembly is even faster, all you have to do is put on the pedals and twist the handle bars into place. Probably more suitable for the taller of the younger age, unless you use the lowering kit, these bikes look cool and are built to last. The restrictive steering makes it easier for your child to use and gives them less to concentrate on. They are very expensive which is the one big criticism.
