The Best Kids Bike to Buy for Christmas
Ages 2-4
A balance bike is the best way to teach your child to ride a bike, balance is the most important thing to learn. We recomend you don’t use stabilisers at any point. It will delay them developing the skills they need to ride. Read our full guide on teaching your child to ride here
Ages 3-5
As soon as your child has learnt to balance they will be confident enough to move onto a proper bike with pedals and brakes. We recommend a lightweight bike that’s fun and easy to ride. Don’t buy a cheap heavy steel framed bike with stabilizers unless you want to set them back for years and put them off cycling forever. These hybrid bikes are perfect for starting out and you will be amazed how far your children can go for with the right bike.
