Chicco Balance Bike | First Bike for Kids, Anti-Puncture Wheels, Fully Adjustable, for Children up to 25kg, 18 months +

Product Information

The bike looks really great all put together, and is really sturdy feeling, without being too heavy – Lydia can easily lift it herself to go up stairs, and so on. We started with a Toddlebike at around 18 months of age, then graduated to a Puky, then pedals after that. Just the right size for storing snacks, toy cars or random sticks discovered along the way, it was a big hit. It has the Chicco logo at the front and 'chicco red-bullet' on either side of the frame and it looks quite good, not overly tacky like some bikes can be.

The EVA foam wheels – similar to the kind of wheels you often find on pushchairs – are puncture-resistant and incredibly durable, while the saddle (although not the comfiest in our round-up) can be adjusted to between 30-40cm, making it a good height for our two-year-old tester to start out on. They've taken all they know about balance bikes and obsessed over every single detail - the design, the materials, the weight (a mere 2. Suitable for ages 2-5 years the Chicco Balance Bike will give your little one the confidence to take up bike riding. Inside the box, the bike is in four pieces, and you get a spanner and the fixings to put it all together.The Tadpole Mini is sized for ages 18 months and over, the standard Frog Tadpole is for roughly ages 2-3 years and the larger Tadpole Plus for ages 3-4 years. Chicco Green Hopper ECO+ Balance Bike is the ideal first bicycle that helps children develop the necessary balance on two wheels. But, as well as looking the part, this fantastic model ticks all the boxes for functionality and usability. The other half did build the bike at night when Logan was in his bed as we've learnt before children don't like to be kept waiting for toys even if they only take 10 minutes. He's only 2 and this bike is suggested for kids aged 3-5 years but since Logan is as tall and maybe a bit taller than some 3 year olds it's perfect for him.

My eldest (3) loves his Strider Balance Bike - it is the 'sport' version and is very light, although not the lightest on the market. We're seeing an increasing number of parents opting for this method of kids bike ownership as it not only takes the hassle out of things every time your child grows but is more environmentally friendly and can be cost effective as well. You can see this difference in the image below, where the Chicco Red Bullet is compared to the very popular (and usually cheaper) Radio Flyer balance bike.As luck would have it the lovely people from Chicco offered Logan their Red Bullet Balance Bike to test and review for them. Instead of forking out for a small balance bike, then a larger model and finally a first pedal bike, this genius three-in-one design covers it all. Some balance bikes convert into pedal bikes - these can help as the child is already familiar with the bike. it makes an ideal starter balance bike for toddlers who may struggle to manoeuvre and keep upright on heavier models. When the weathers rubbish he'll ride the bike up and down our hall so it has been used quite a bit with all the rain recently.

The strenght of materials let play also outside, at the park or gravel, just any other metal or wood balance bike. our youngest tester struggled to begin with, so we’d suggest it’s better suited for those closer to three in age.Our next door neighbour bought one for their granddaughter on our recommendation, and they can't stop telling me how wonderful it is! The 14in tyres look skinny in comparison with some of the other balance bikes we tested but are very durable and absorbed lots of bumps in the road, giving a smooth ride.

There are 14", 16", 18" and 20" options in the Black Mountain range which means there's options for up to about 7 years of age (depending on your child's height of course).

Even budget balance bikes these days often come with a quick-release clamp that makes it super fast and easy to raise or lower the saddle. The balance bike mode is suitable for ages two and up, although due to the weight of the bike (a not-insignificant 6.
