5 things to know before buying a balance bike
We offer a wide range of balance bikes, so we’ve created a guide to help you choose the best one for your child.You’ll find it on our Smart Through Play blog.Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.

A balance bike is a great way to develop your child's crossbody coordination and balance from a young age. The thing about balance bikes is that they don't have pedals, so your child pushes the bike forward with their feet while straddling the bike.
A balance bike is a great way to challenge your child without having to worry about them having too many accidents - because at all times, your child has a foot on the ground and can brake and keep their balance. Being able to race around and control their own speed (far more easily than on a standard bike) gives your child a sense of freedom. At the same time, you can also practise traffic signals, left/right, and being considerate of other road users.
A wonderful way to prepare for learning to ride a regular bike. Once your child has picked up speed on the balance bike, putting training wheels on their regular bike while they learn how to pedal often becomes a redundant middle step - because your child already has great balance.
