Consumer Feedback

 

"This bike is fantastic. We bought it for our 2 and a half yr old and he absolutely loves it. Its amazing how quick you can see the development of balance and co ordination and he even has given a demo in the park to another litttle friend - after having it for only 2 weeks."

"Balance bikes have been very popular on the continent for a number of years as a very simple approach to teaching children the art of balance. I have witnessed a number of children, including my grand children develop balance and confidence at very early ages and progress rapidly to pedal bikes."

Our research suggests:

The wooden balance bike is great for boys and girls due to it being a neutral colour. Some reviews have questioned the build quality but I think that these people have just been unlucky and that most reviews see this bike as being well built. Some children do complain about the hard wooden saddle. This bike has no steering so the child has to lean to change directions. Overall a great balance bike particularly for the younger age range 2 1/2 to 3 1/2.
