BALANCE BIKES
Already a massive success in Europe, Balance Bikes are set to become a
worldwide trend. Tests in Germany and other countries clearly show the
benefits of not using training wheels on small bikes for children. The
use of such balancing aids proved to stunt the gross motor skill
development of a young child. There are also noticeable improvements in a
child's confidence and self-esteem. Children learn balance on balance bikes, and can then progress to bicycles without the aid of training
wheels.
Balance bikes are also referred to as pre-bikes, kid's bikes,
toddler bikes, glide bikes, push bikes, training bikes and run bikes.
What makes a balance bike so unique and in demand is the developmental
benefits that it provides to children at an early age. The one skill that is needed to
effectively learn to ride a two-wheel pedal bike is balance.
