Kids & Toddlers Balance Bikes
What is a Balance Bike?
A kids balance bike has no pedals, gears, chain et cetera and is designed for helping kids and toddlers learn how to "cycle" with balance and steering before moving up. They might be the best option for your child's first bike instead of a bike with training wheels if they're a little older, bigger, and more adventurous!
Our range of balance bikes includes toddler-friendly models that are specifically designed to be the best start bikes for your toddler. These bikes feature low seat heights, lightweight frames, and easy-to-grip handlebars, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable riding experience for even the smallest riders. Designed without any pedals or brakes, a Balance Bike is the perfect first bicycle for young children who can learn to sit and balance on a bike frame without worrying about the complications of pedalling.
Which Balance Bike for Which Age?
Start with balance bike age and use our handy kids sizing chart to measure whether this is the best option for your child. They may require a small balance bike despite being slightly older.
These models are ideal for children aged between 2 and 5.
Then, think about what features you'd like to see on your child's balance bike. For example, Bobbin is fairly unique in offering a balance bike with basket and loads of customisable accessories from our range.
Frame, Weight, and Wheel Size
With our 12-inch wheel balance bikes; Gingersnap Balance and our Moonbug Balance models, these bikes are ideal for children aged 2-4. Check out our kids' bicycle sizing guide and consider your child's weight to see if a balance bike would be the perfect choice for them.
Then, you can even head over to our children's bicycle accessories range to customise your child’s bike with a basket, bell, tassels, and more.

Children won’t generally ride very fast on a balance bike, but they should still wear a helmet in case they manage to crash into anything or fall off.
All our balance bikes present the option to purchase it with a matching toddler’s bicycle helmet.
