Kids' Bikes & Bicycles: For Future Cycling Champions

Even if your child doesn't become a cycling champion immediately, you will be delighted to see their development and progress. To facilitate their learning, it is advisable to start with a push bike. You can gift them one from the age of one, or even earlier if your child shows aptitude. It is not necessary for them to walk perfectly; on the contrary, the push bike will help them find stability and their centre of gravity. This kids' bike & bicycle will be a great aid for their first steps on foot or on a bike. Then, if they start to feel comfortable, we recommend opting for a tricycle or a balance bike, also known as a pedal-less bike. The tricycle will be the safest kids' bike & bicycle and will allow them to learn how to use pedals. Meanwhile, the balance bike will help your child gain stability and balance. If you wish, you can even go through all three stages, and you will be sure to make your little one a great champion! 

Kids' Bikes & Bicycles: The Right Bike for Every Age

The Push Bike: The Very First Introduction

For a first introduction to cycling, we recommend choosing a push bike for kids. It is undoubtedly the kids' bike & bicycle that is the safest and most stable available. Your child will want to start walking around the age of one, and to support them and help them gain motor skills, you can choose to gift them a push bike for kids. It is a small bike without pedals with 3 or 4 wheels. This kids' bike & bicycle will help your little one stabilise and especially find their centre of gravity. It will be a great aid in promoting walking and helping them gain confidence as they toddle about. Brands offer push bikes made of wood, perfect for indoors, as well as metal ones, which are more durable and provide maximum stability. Like the Puky push bikes, colourful options for both girls and boys, designed by the leading brand of kids' bikes & bicycles. The push bike stage will allow your child to gain coordination and walk faster, paving the way for “big kid” activities! 

The Tricycle: Starting Out on Three Wheels

If your child is already very comfortable on their feet and legs, you can start introducing them to cycling with a tricycle for kids. The tricycle is ideal for children between 12 and 36 months who are looking to move around differently than just on their feet. They are generally adjustable and come with a seat and handlebars that can be modified to keep it for a while. We recommend prioritising a kids' bike & bicycle that is lightweight and manoeuvrable so your child can learn easily. For example, you might choose a Puky tricycle, which features a push handle at the back to assist your child as they learn to ride. Like the push bike, you will find tricycles made of wood or metal, varying in weight and available in different colours and shapes. 

The Balance Bike: Learning to Balance

From the age of two, you can offer your child the chance to learn the basics of a kids' bike & bicycle on a balance bike. This is the ultimate step before starting to pedal on a kids' bike & bicycle. The balance bike will help your child stabilise and find the perfect balance to ride. Practising on the balance bike will also introduce children to their first sensations of speed, and parents to the first feelings of fear as they go too fast! This small kids' bike & bicycle without pedals is the most effective way for your dear one to become a great champion. If your child has had the chance to start their learning on a push bike or tricycle, they will quickly manage on a balance bike. It is very important that you choose a balance bike suitable for your child's size and weight. To do this, you should know that your child must be positioned so that their feet touch the ground. Brands that design kids' bikes & bicycles know that children grow quickly, so they offer balance bikes that can be adjusted.
