Brand Info & Reviews

red mini glider balance bike

At Kids Balance bikes we like to check out each bike personally and offer as much information as possible to help parents pick out the best bike for their child!

Check out our review pages below to see which balance bike catches YOUR eye!

Here is the place to get a quick look at the specs and some additional information you may not find on the purchase pages.

We will offer pictures and videos so you can envision your child on the bike as well!

A key factor to finding the perfect balance bike is to make sure it fits when it arrives at your door.

Measuring your child's inseam if they are 3 yrs or older, or are tall or short for their age will help you make sure you are buying the right size bike.

We get calls from people who feel their child is very tall for their age and consider getting a bigger bike. Kid's legs (inseam) don't catch up to their height until about age 4! So a tall 2 year old, may still have the inseam of an average 2 year old.

Not always, but as a rule, the younger the child, the shorter the legs. You just want to make sure they can straddle the bike seat with feet flat on the ground and walk the bike forward when they first try out their bike!

"My father Tom purchased the Green mini glider for my 4 1/2 year old daughter. She was terrified to say the least to take the training wheels off of her regular larger bike. She received the glider Christmas morning and I don't think that she has gotten off of it since. She has ridden it to the bathroom, to the table for lunch, and all around the house. Normally this would be done outside however due to the temperatures we are allowing her to ride inside and she is taking every advantage of this. She parks it by her bed at night. She is doing great and has in about a week and a half already started to balance on her own with no help from mom or dad. All the kids in the neighborhood now want one. I have a 2 month old son and I guarantee this is how we will introduce him to riding to start. It is a great product. "

"I bought this for my 7 year old grandson, it was answer to prayers of fears and tears. he has dysgraphia which affects his fine motor skills. he learned in 1 day with the Glo glider and can now ride his bike without training wheels. Just cannot say enough about this lightweight fantastic bike. nana2bryson"
