[quote=Anonymous]Balance bikes are essentially bikes where the kid's legs serve as the "training wheels". They learn to balance by putting their feet down when they fall towards either side. Because they can go faster if they actually balance, it teaches them to learn to balance to go faster. With training wheels, they don't learn to balance nearly as naturally or fast as the training wheels always "catch" them. They will learn, but not as quickly. I have twins and the one that used the balance bike learned balance much faster than the twin that didn't want to try the balance bike and relied on the training wheels. [/quote]
