graduation from balance bike

[clazzat]

Toys R Us sell the bikes Mashi is talking about, KM.

I don't have experience with a balance bike, but I do think that going without stabilizers is definitely the way forward - we took M's stabilizers off last year (age nearly 5) and she got it so easily that I thought it was worth trying to see if E could do it, and she is now riding without stabilizers at over a year younger than her sister was.  I have a theory that the stabilizers actually hold things up because they believe they need them when they can actually learn a different (and more significant skill) without them.

Thanks. Yes I am going with no stabilisers.

Yes, that is almost identical -- Wader and BIG are the same brand I think.   My DS started riding one of these at about 15 months, the only problem was that he refused to 'grow up' to a proper balance bike, he still rides on this one at nearly 4yo
