A balance bike is a type of children's transport that differs from a bicycle in that it has no pedals. It is intended for younger children - you can introduce a child to such transport from 1 year.
To be sure that the chosen vehicle will suit your child, it is necessary to take some measurements and select the weight of the vehicle and the type of wheels.
Measuring legs
First, measure the length of the child's legs. To do this, use a tape measure to measure the distance from the foot to the child's groin. This measurement will help determine the height of the vehicle seat.
If this is not done, the owner of the balance bike will experience discomfort on a vehicle that is too large or too small, which may lead to a loss of interest in it and the need to replace the vehicle, which will entail additional financial costs.
Selecting the weight
For small children, it is better to choose a lighter model with a plastic frame, and for older children, heavier and more powerful models with a metal frame are suitable.
Selecting wheels
There are models with different types of wheels – plastic and rubberized.
Plastic wheels are typically used on models for small children and are designed for hard, smooth surfaces, but can create noise when riding, especially on tiles.
