[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd say take your 4YO to the store and have him try them both out if possible. Our 3YO hated the balance bike, loved the bike with training wheels -- he really just wanted something with pedals. But every kid is different -- I know other kids who love the balance bikes. And I will say that we have not yet tried moving him to a two-wheeler bike so we'll see how that goes.[/quote] This was true for us too. In order to get started with a balance bike, you have to trust the process: be willing to give the bike a push with your feet and then lift your feet up, for a short time at least. My fairly timid son was never willing to do that, so he just shuffled down the sidewalk with the bike between his legs and never really enjoyed it. He might be a little slower in learning to ride a bike, but I'm in no rush.[/quote]
