Balance Bikes
Balance bikes are the perfect first bike for your child. Insrtead of pedals, your child will push off with their feet to move the bike, with comfortable handlebars that help them to steer and navigate their home, garden, or park. These bikes can be used from as young as twelve months, allowing your child to learn how to move a bike after taking their first steps.
There are plenty of choices on the market, including retro designs, those with large wheels, and reversible frames. Our range provides a balance bike for every budget and need, with bikes that will see your child through toddlerhood until it is time to try a conventional bicycle.

Key Features
Anti Slip Footrests
The anti-slip footrests are built into the bike to help your child stay on it without worrying about falling off. They are large enough to fit your child's foot comfortably and help provide rest when needed. The built-in design means they do not protrude and will not hurt your child's legs as they move the bike.
Steering Angle Limiter
The steering angle limiter helps you position the handlebars according to your child's height. You can adjust them for beginners or advanced riders and make changes to help them feel more comfortable maneuvering the bike.
The handlebars also feature a comfortable grip that encourages your child to hold on while moving the bike. By limiting the steering angle, you can control the bike's manoeuvrability; for younger children, you can adjust it so they can turn some corners and increase the manoeuvrability as their confidence grows, allowing the bike to grow with them.
Detachable Backpack
Another feature we love is the removable backpack. The leather-look backpack sits at the front of the bike and can be removed when needed. It is ideal for placing snacks or water when taking the bike outside. It allows your child to become responsible for their snacks and water, increasing their independence while they learn to balance on a bike.

FAQs
What ages are balance bikes suitable for?
Balance bikes can be used from twelve months to five years, depending on your chosen type. Younger babies, around twelve months old, will want a balance bike that helps them take their first steps with additional support.
Toddlers will find indoor balance bikes helpful, with soft and flexible wheels. Balance bikes for one to three-year-olds tend to have three wheels that offer better balance than a two-wheel bike, supporting them and keeping them safe.
Older toddlers and children tend to be more advanced, offering practice before using a conventional bike. These will still provide balance and support, but less than the bikes for younger children. When choosing a balance bike, consider the bike's recommended age and your child's walking and coordination abilities.
What are the benefits of balance bikes for kids?
Balance bikes have several benefits, including improving spatial awareness, stimulating balance, and teaching them control. Balance bikes aid in physical development and have psychological and emotional development benefits.
Physical Benefits
Balance bikes teach your children how to maintain their balance blenging their postural control. They also help to improve spatial awareness as they learn how to navigate their bike around their home, through parks, or along footpaths. They also teach your child how to adjust their body position to their surroundings.
Balance bikes also help children move their feet, steer, and flex their muscles, helping them to balance. This gives them a good grounding and will help them when sliding, swinging, jumping, and running. They also teach your child control, helping to build their confidence.
Psychological Benefits
Balance bikes help develop your child's motor skills and allow them to socialise while they play. By using their balance bikes outdoors with other children, they can improve their confidence and happiness, enjoy better spatial awareness, and increase their coordination.
The time outdoors with their friends and family has a positive impact on your child, too, and can help prepare them for pedalling on a bicycle in the future, in some cases speeding up the learning process.
Emotional Development Benefits
Balance bikes can help with your child's emotional development when used from a young age. Regular use can enhance self-esteem and increase concentration, patience, perseverance, and attention. They also give your child greater freedom and independence in their environment, improving their confidence.
Do kids need to wear helmets on balance bikes?
When using balance bikes, a well-fitting helmet should be worn. A helmet offers protection for your baby's head, reducing the chance of an injury should they fall off the bike. Any helmet you purchase must be correctly adjusted to fit your little one's head and should meet Australian safety standards.
