Age and size - How old and tall should your child be?

Your choice of a balance bike, depends on the size of your child. Initially, age and size interact with each other generally, but beyond that, age is not as applicable to the choice of a balance bike for your child. The childs leg length and size are far more significant. As a good rule of thumb, your child should be able to get on and off the bike themselves. and when sitting on the seat, the child should be able to easily touch the ground.

Balance Bikes for kids - The Best Start

Balance bikes for kids is a good start, so they can learn to keep their balance. It is also typically recommended as a good idea to start off with a tricycle as this teaches the child how to coordinate their arms and legs, as well as how to use the pedals, as balance bikes can get more speed. As a beginning, a tricycle can give the child some better steering skills and thus better equip them for a balance bike later.
An easy rule of thumb to find the perfect beginner balance bike is to choose one with some wide tires as wider tires make it easier for the child to keep their balance.

Balance bikes for the youngest - 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers and 4-wheelers

In the early stages from about 1 year old, balance bikes with 3-wheels or 4-wheels will be most suitable as it will aid the training of childrens balance skills and provide good experiences before the child gets old and big enough for a 2-wheel balance bike. The seat on these types can be adjusted in height, and in some of the very best 4-wheels there is an extra support in the form of a shaft. This shaft allows the balance bike to tilt to both sides without tipping over so that the child will be able to train their movement and balance more easily at first.
As the child grows older and in size too, it will eventually be possible to use a 2-wheel balance bike. Here it may be considered to get a balance bike with a handbrake, so that the child also learn to use such, rather than just braking with their feet. A 2-wheel balance bike can have a faster pace, so it may be smart to start out on softer surfaces such as grass or other similar surfaces to avoid unfortunate situations on asphalt for example. As parents you can set up smaller obstacle courses and thereby train the child through fun activities to teach turning and overall control of the balance bike. This will over time increase their self-esteem and prove to them that they can do more and more on their own.
