One thing we’ll always recommend to fellow parents: start them young on a balance bike 👏 We’ve loved using our Strider bikes to help build confidence, coordination, and independence from an early age. Balance bikes do so much more than teach riding — they help support vestibular development (balance + spatial awareness), strengthen core muscles, improve coordination, and encourage gross motor skills through play 🚲✨ We truly believe getting kids comfortable on a bike early makes the transition to pedaling SO much easier later on — and it gives them such a sense of freedom and confidence too 🫶 Plus, it’s one of the best ways to get them outside, moving their bodies, and exploring the world around them 💛 Linked our favorite Strider bike + accessories on LTK!
