Balance Bike - My Hood Rider, Green

Item No: 41-505501
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 seamless 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 handlebar has 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. 

Rider is available in 3 beautiful colours.

Details: 

Frame: Aluminium
Fork: Aluminium
12" aluminium rim
Wide, air-filled tires
Handlebar padding
Smooth, infinite seat adjustment with quick release
Inseam: 31–41 cm
Handlebar height: 50 cm

Suitable for ages 1 yr. to 5 yrs.

A balance bike has no pedals, so your child pushes the bike forward with their feet while straddling it. Balance bikes are brilliant for developing your child's balance and cross-body coordination from an early age.

Being able to zoom around and control their own speed (much more easily than on an ordinary bike) gives your child a feeling of freedom. At the same time, you can also teach your child about left/right, understanding traffic signals, and looking out for other road users. A balance bike is a great way to challenge your child without them experiencing too many accidents - because at all times, your child has a foot on the ground and can slow down or regain balance.

An ideal way to prepare for learning to ride a regular bike. A lot of times, your child can skip using training wheels on their pedal bike, because they already have great balance.
