Solid or air-filled tyres? Air-filled or pneumatic tyres make for a comfier, smoother ride but can puncture. Solid tyres – either plastic or rubber, often filled with foam – are a bit bumpier but cheaper and don’t puncture. The micro bike has been well tested and with their name at stake, Micro will never put out a bike which isn't excellent quality. However, there are bikes such as the Cruzee that give the Micro a good run for their money and may just pip them out the post. In any case, by the time your child is 3-4 years old they should have learnt how to balance and moved on to a proper 2-wheeled bike with pedals. Conclusion For a balance bike to be fun to use and effective in training kids how to balance, it has to be light. If it is too heavy, kids won’t be able to push it along with their feet and it can actually be a safety risk if it falls on them. The Micro brand is a leading brand in the world of scooters, and it's name is synonymous with quality and durability. Micro has now ventured into the world of balance bikes, with its creation the microbike. But does the micro bike live up to the same standards as the mini micro scooter is well known for in the scooter world?

Conclusion

Some balance bikes for 3 to 5 year olds have 14 inch wheels so this size of wheel is something to consider as well. With time, they learn how to balance and don’t rely as much on their feet to keep the bike from falling. However, although it will be a great balance bike for some children it may be an awful choice for others so it’s very important to consider your child’s height when buying this balance bike. Kids are usually not particularly careful about where they ride their bikes. So you constantly have to get punctures repaired. Some unique features just to the microbike include the front mud guard and the front suspension which ensures a smooth ride on rough surfaces.

The KaZAM looks different to most other balance bikes, but there is a much to like about it's unique design. The unique feature is the footresting footplate. Kids have somewhere to put their feet while riding (in the middle) and it doesn't get in the way of their stride. The footrest also helps them find their centre of gravity. This Strider bike has adjustable handlebars and seat which will grow with your child. It’s lowest seat height is 11 inches (28cm) which will be perfect for even the youngest child (from 18 months). It also means that younger siblings will be able to have a go as well. It’s made from strong and durable wood. Knowing how rough 2-year olds can be, you can rest assured that the bike will survive all their antics. How Easy Is It To Use? The handlebar is quite wide, which is great for growing kids. Whereas toddlers will find narrower handlebars easier when controlling the bike, as kids get older wider bars give the more comfort when riding. Brakes or no brakes? The higher-spec balance bikes tend to have brakes, scaled down to child size, either on both wheels or just on the rear wheel. Budget bikes tend not to have them. Opinion is divided on what's best: balance bikes can be stopped perfectly well with feet but some argue that it's good to learn about braking before you venture on to a bike with pedals – and better for your shoe leather. We'd say that, roughly speaking, a child probably doesn't have the hand/eye coordination for using brakes until about 2.5 to 3.5 years.The seat height can be adjusted from 31.5cm to 39cm so there is a decent amount of growing room on the bike which is aimed at 2 to 5 year olds. This bike will really grow with your child and you shouldn’t need to buy another balance bike apart from this one.
