My Hood

Balance Bike - My Hood Rider, Pink

Item No: 41-505500
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 rims
Wide, air-filled tires
Padded handlebar
Infinitely adjustable seat with quick release
Inseam: 31–41 cm

Suitable for children aged 1 yr. to 5 yrs.

A balance bike is a fantastic way to build up your child's balance and crossbody coordination from an early age. The thing about balance bikes is that they don't have pedals, so your child pushes the bike along with their legs while straddling the bike.

A balance bike is a great way to challenge your child without them having a lot of falls or crashes - because your child constantly has a foot on the ground and can stop the bike and keep their balance. 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 traffic signals, left/right, and being considerate of other road users.

A wonderful way to prepare for learning to ride a bike with pedals. Often, your child can skip using training wheels on their regular bike, because balance is no problem for them.

The activity is great for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

  • Develops your child's gross motor skills, which come into play whenever your child is physically active.
  • This is a great way for your child to enhance their vestibular sense. The vestibular sense helps us to spin in circles, stand on one leg, or ride in a car without getting dizzy, losing our balance, or getting car sick.
  • Supports kids' proprioception, which is also called the body awareness sense or the kinesthetic sense.
