Choose the right size

Go for an ultra-light, low-step balance bike with wide wheels so little legs can push confidently.
2. Toddlers (2–3 years)
Look for adjustable seats, footrests and steering limiters – this makes the classic toddler balance bike safer on corners.

FAQs – Balance Bikes
1. What age is a balance bike for?
Most start from 18 months, but check the seat height. If they can stand over it with feet flat, they’re ready.
2. Do I still need training wheels later?
Usually no. Kids who master a balance bike jump straight to pedals.
3. Are balance bikes safe on concrete or paths?
Yes – choose models with non-slip grips and quality tyres, and add a helmet.
4. What’s the difference between a baby balance bike and a toddler one?
Baby versions are lower, often 4-wheel or extra-wide for stability. Toddler versions are 2-wheel and teach true balance.
5. Do you ship around Australia?
Yes – orders are dispatched quickly from Australia with tracking.
