❓ Balance Bike FAQs – Quick Answers for Aussie Parents

  • What age is a balance bike for?
    Most kids start at 18–24 months and ride until 4–6 years, depending on inseam and confidence.
  • How do I choose the right size (12” vs 14”)?
    Match seat height to your child’s inseam (seat ≈ inseam minus 2–3 cm). 12" suits ~85–105 cm height; 14" suits ~100–120 cm.
  • Do balance bikes really help kids learn to ride faster?
    Yes—kids master balance and steering first, so transitioning to pedals is usually quick and training wheels aren’t needed.
  • Should I get air (pneumatic) or foam (EVA) tyres?
    Air = better grip/cushion for outdoors; EVA = puncture-proof and low-maintenance for paths/indoor.
  • How high should the seat be?
    When seated, both feet flat and knees slightly bent—typically 2–3 cm below inseam.
  • Do balance bikes need brakes?
    Not essential for beginners (they foot-brake), but a rear hand brake helps on slopes and builds good habits.
  • How heavy should a balance bike be?
    Lighter is easier to control. Aim for ≤30–35% of your child’s body weight (often 2.5–4.5 kg).
  • Helmet needed for a balance bike?
    Yes—ALWAYS. Use an Australian-standard kids bike helmet that fits snugly, level, and doesn’t wobble.
  • When do we move to a pedal bike?
    When your child coasts feet-up for 5–10+ seconds, steers confidently, and controls speed—often around 3–5 years.
  • What frame material is best (alloy, magnesium, steel, wood)?
    Alloy/magnesium = light & rust-resistant; steel = durable but heavier; wood = eco look/feel but less adjustable.
