Balance bikes are a great option to get your kids on their first pair of wheels. Unlike bikes with training wheels, balance bikes help a child to focus on balance first before attempting the much tougher, and less intuitive skill of pedalling. We started stocking our first balance bikes after Huw got one for his son. With both sons now confidently smashing around on two wheels we’re still stocking the same Firstbike balance bikes as the one Huw bought for his son.
