About this deal

Most other similarly-specced competition seems to be closer to 4kg and above, and that extra 1kg makes quite the difference for a toddler when it comes to handling the bike and slinging it around in the back garden. It’s very expensive but super high-quality and you are effectively getting a balance bike and 2 sizes of pedal bike in 1. The low weight of the AIRO really came to the fore when he started to ride, as it allowed him to have independence with the bike, lifting it and turning it around with ease. Our reviewer appreciated that the instructions were written assuming no prior knowledge about bike maintenance, as cycling jargon can be intimidating for a newbie. Its super-lightweight frame means it's easy for parents and even children to lift or carry the bike where necessary.

This steel-frame balance bike has an easy-to-move, height-adjustable padded seat and handlebars, plus safety grips, footrests with grip tape and big, bouncy air-filled tyres. Balance bikes develop a child’s sense of balance and coordination by encouraging them to use their feet to glide along the ground,” explains Alexandra Rico-Lloyd, co-founder of kids’ bike subscription service The Bike Club. this balance bike is very sturdy, while the smoothed, polished edges of the frame make it super kid-friendly. They also offer a lifetime warranty, which is good for peace of mind, especially if you're planning to pass it on down through multiple children.All in all we were extremely impressed with the construction, design and lightweight of this balance bike. The woom 1 on the left has a 16″ wide handlebar while the Strider on the right has a 13 3/8″ handlebar. pounds, the only balance bikes that are lighter seem to have foam filled tires (like the Bixe 12, weighing in at 4. Plus the padded seat and easy-to-grip handlebars show the bike is absolutely built with smoothness and comfort in mind.

it comes with front and rear brakes (a rarity for a balance bike), which are colour-coded, like the brand’s main range of kids’ bikes, to make it easy for little ones to get to grips with. Silicone hand grips, a padded seat and in-built footrests all upped the comfort level, but it was the addition of a faux leather bag at the front of the bike that really captured our testers’ imagination. From the first phases of walking the bike to confidently gliding, the AIRO delivered a fun, smooth, and impressive ride. If you have a petite rider, make sure to check out our top pick for littlest riders, the Woom 1 balance bike. The tyres are slightly ridged, which works well on hard surfaces and grass, but less well on mud and gravel paths.

The balance bike mode is suitable for ages two and up, although due to the weight of the bike (a not-insignificant 6. The higher-spec balance bikes tend to have brakes, scaled down to child size, either on both wheels or just on the rear wheel. As my balance biker is getting older and bolder I would love for her to have something more than just her feet to stop her, especially since this bike gets moving. We commend Hornit for acknowledging that while an amazing bike, the AIRO is not a great fit for taller riders. This clever two-in-one design converts from a tricycle into a balance bike, offering different riding options for your toddler from just 15 months, right up until six years old.
