their current bike and unscrewing the pedals if you cannot get a balance bike. you can also unscrew the pedals when your child is ready to move to a pedal bike. that way they get their balance on the pedal bike – which is often heavier.
i hope to get my baby girl a balance bike for her 1st birthday. i am thinking a woom 1 because the seat goes down the quite a bit and it seems very balanced (and has hand brakes). i sat her on one and she is almost tall enough already at 7 months old.
thanks for all the tips. getting my son on a balance bike
