Balance Bike Mania!


We recently bought a Strider Balance Bike for our 2 year old. We were introduced to these bikes by some friends of ours who bought one for their 2 year old. We were amazed at how this little guy could ride a 2 wheel bike with NO training wheels! I knew that I had to have one for our 2 year old...so after saving up (they cost an arm and a leg) we bought him one for his birthday. I can't tell you how impressed with these bikes I am!! Our 2 year old has learned how to coast with no feet on the ground in only 1 week! One of the best parts about him riding a balance bike is that he can keep up with his older siblings. So often when on a walk, he gets left in the dust on a tricycle and cries his little heart out!:) Not anymore!! Today we went to the park and I couldn't keep up with HIM!! It was amazing! I just love these little bikes and recommend them to anyone who has a child who hasn't learned to ride a 2 wheeled bike yet. LOVE them!
