Bike Buying Bicycle Reviews
Balance bicycle for toddlers – did/do you have one?
I asked this over in Toddler & Preschooler, but they didn’t have any clue what I was talking about so I’ll try here as well…
I would like to get a balance bicycle for my son who is 20 months. I was going to buy one for his birthday which isn’t until the end of November, but I am considering just going ahead and getting it for him now. I was looking at the Strider, as they seem to have gotten the best reviews at that price point and I won’t spend more than that. Do/did you have one for your toddler and were they able to use it before the 2 year age mark listed on the bike? What were your experiences with one?

We have a tricycle that he is just starting to learn how to pedal efficiently.
Deans – I was going to look on e-bay as well. We’ll have to fight for it!!
Otherwise, I was going to suggest to his grandparents that it would be a great early birthday present..they’re coming tomorrow to visit for 2 weeks.
yes and yes they work, get one, they are awsome. At first I thought they were a fad, until someone gave me one. Now I’m converted! At 20 months he is a little young, may not be able to use it and may get bored or irritated with it before he has a chance to use it properly. Get him into them and then by the time he is 2 he will be totally in love with it and use it everywhere. He will be balancing in a few weeks or at least ready for a big boy bike by the time he is 3.
