[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Balance bikes are for 2-3 year olds, not 4/6 year olds. It’s a scooter/tricycle substitute.[/quote] This.[/quote] Exactly. Why would I wait and until they’re 4-6 to run alongside them huffing? My kid got a balance bike as a 1st birthday gift. Starting riding it at 18 months, then transitioned to a pedal bike at 2.5, with absolutely no help from a parent. You don’t put a bigger kid on a balance bike. You put toddlers on them, rather than a trike, and then they just move straight to pedal bikes when they outgrow the balance bike. It’s not like they’re pricey. The one given to us was under $40 brand new.[/quote]
