Balance Bike - My Hood Rider, Black

Item No: 41-505503
Great value
The vestibular sense
Proprioception
Gross motor skills

A real gem among balance bikes, and one we warmly recommend for children from as young as 12 months. 

My Hood Rider is a very lightweight balance bike with an aluminum frame, 12-inch inflatable tires, and infinite seat height adjustment. This means that children as young as 1 (with inseams of 31 to 41 cm) can have wonderful experiences on this balance bike, learning to balance and gently push the bike forward with their feet. 

The handlebars have a nice pad to keep your child safe if the ride gets a little bumpy. The bike weighs only 3.5 kg.

Over the past 15–20 years, the balance bike has become a standard toy in most families with kids, and it has pretty much replaced the small bike with training wheels as a go-to first bike. On a balance bike, your child learns how to maintain balance, steer, and move themselves forward. Once they master those skills, most young children are ready to confidently start pedaling when it’s time to move on to a real bike. 

The Rider comes in several lovely colours. This model is black.

Details: 

Frame: Aluminium
Fork: Aluminium
12\" aluminium rims
Wide, air-filled tires
Handlebar padding
Infinite seat adjustment with quick release
Inseam: 31-41 cm
Handlebar height: 50 cm
Length: 86 cm
Weight: 3.5 kg
Max load: 25 kg

Suitable for ages 1 yr. to 4 yrs.

A balance bike is a fantastic way to develop your child's crossbody coordination and balance from the time they're little. Balance bikes don't have pedals, so your child pushes the bike forward with their legs while straddling the bike.

A balance bike is a great way to challenge your child without them crashing or falling over often - because at all times, your child has a foot on the ground and can keep their balance and stop the bike. Being able to race around and control their own speed (far more easily than on a standard bike) gives your child a feeling of being free. At the same time, you can also teach your child about left/right, understanding traffic signals, and looking out for other road users.

A wonderful way to prepare for learning to ride a pedal bike. Once your child is a little pro on the balance bike, using training wheels on their pedal bike often becomes an unnecessary middle step - because balance is not a problem for your child.

Develops essential skills that are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

  • This type of play strengthens gross motor skills. It specifically involves your child's ability to control the coordination of their legs and arms.
  • This is a great way for your child to strengthen their vestibular sense. The vestibular sense helps us to stand on one leg, spin in circles, or ride in a car without losing our balance, feeling dizzy, or getting car sick.
  • Benefits your child's proprioception, which helps them build the confidence to use their body through active play and benefits their concentration.
