A balance bike designed for toddlers to learn stability. It adjusts as they grow, and the tires are puncture-proof.
$129.99
This 12-inch balance bike features a steel frame and foam rubber tires. It has no pedals, allowing children to push with their feet and develop balance before transitioning to a regular bike.
The seat height adjusts from 11 to 17 inches without the need for tools, accommodating growth. The solid foam tires eliminate the need for pumping or repairing flats.
Note that fit specifications may differ slightly depending on the source. Amazon indicates it fits a 12–18 inch inseam, while Strider's EU site states 12–20 inches. Measuring the child's inseam prior to purchase is advisable.
