At Lifespan Kids, we believe in kicking off your child’s cycling journey on the right foot. Our range of children’s starter bicycles will enhance their confidence and motor skills from an early age, all while giving them a thrilling playtime. This includes a range of balance bikes, bikes with training wheels and tricycles, with options that can be used as young as 2-years-old.
Balance Bikes for Kids
Balance bikes for kids are an excellent first step in learning to ride. These bikes help children develop balance and coordination before they graduate to traditional pedal bikes. With no pedals or training wheels, balance bikes allow young riders to glide around, focusing on steering and balancing. This builds the confidence they need to transition to a pedal bike. Our balance bikes are designed with lightweight frames and adjustable seat heights to accommodate growing children, and many can be converted into a tricycle. They’re the ideal solution for young riders.
Kids Bikes with Training Wheels
For children who are ready to ride but need a little extra support, we have our reliable range of kids bikes with training wheels. As your child’s confidence grows, the training wheels can be gradually adjusted or removed to help them gain full control of the bike. Our selection of kids bikes with training wheels is available in various sizes and colours, ensuring that there’s a perfect fit for every child.
Why Choose Our Kids Beginner Bikes?
All our bikes for children are designed will all the safety features they need to make their first ride a safe one. With durable frames, reliable brakes, high-vis reflectors and sturdy tyres, kids beginner bikes from Lifespan Kids set your child up for the safest possible ride. We have options for every child at every age, so you can enjoy years of riding fun as they progress from their first bike to more advanced models.
The Benefits of Beginner Bikes for Kids
The benefits of introducing a kids beginner bike early on go beyond just the thrill of riding around on two wheels. Learning to ride a bike promotes physical fitness, improves balance and coordination, and encourages independence. As children develop their cycling skills, they also enhance their spatial awareness and muscle strength. Bikes with training wheels or balance bikes also offer a great opportunity to practice important life skills such as persistence and patience, as kids work toward mastering this new challenge. Our beginner bikes make the learning process both enjoyable and rewarding for both kids and parents.
Balance bikes for kids are ideal for children aged 2-5 years, depending on their size and coordination. Younger toddlers can start with smaller models to build balance and confidence before progressing to a pedal bike.
Consider your child’s age, size and riding ability. For younger children, balance bikes are great for developing coordination, while bikes with training wheels are perfect for those ready to learn pedalling. There’s also a handy size guide on each product page.
Training wheels are not necessary but can be helpful when learning to ride. Once your child feels comfortable riding, the training wheels can be removed to help them gain more independence and balance.
Look for a sturdy frame, a comfortable seat, soft handles and reliable brakes. Check for smooth edges, non-slip pedals and reflective materials for visibility.
Start with balance bikes to help them build balance and coordination. Once they’re comfortable, move on to kids bikes with training wheels or pedal bikes. Encourage small steps, practice regularly and provide plenty of positive reinforcement as they gain confidence.
