You then need the assistance of training wheels attached to bikes to make them stand. But it can take quite a long time for kids to develop their balance and coordination by relying on the training wheels. For younger bike riders, the Razor Kixi Balance Bike may be a better alternative.

The Strider ST-4 Balance Bike

As babies grow older, you will notice that their level of curiosity slowly begin to change. They start from simply looking around their surroundings to holding things within their grasp. As they learn to crawl or walk, they begin to extend their curiosity towards farther things. As toddlers, you can expect them to run around or imitate what they see. Further up their age bracket, they would like to learn other things such as riding a bike. Toys like the Strider ST-4 Balance Bike will help your kids learn to balance a bike safely and at a younger age.

If it were only up to me, I would like my kids to learn how to ride a bike when they are around seven or eight years old. This way, they already have a better sense of balance and control over their body. It is a bit risky for me to allow my younger kids to use an ordinary bike right away. But you might disagree with me. If you would like to teach your kids to bike as early as three to five years old, using the Strider ST-4 Balance Bike becomes a safer option.

The Strider ST-4 Balance Bike allows kids as little as a year old to learn how to balance while riding a smaller version of a bicycle.

This helps develop their self-confidence as well.
