A big-kid bike for the toddler who's done with the tricycle
As a 4-year-old, my daughter is at the age where her eyes grow wide at the sight of a kid riding a bicycle. Tricycles are so last year--get the girl a two-wheeler, stat! And what could be a more appropriate first bike than a FirstBIKE Balance Bike?
For little kids, FirstBIKEs have all the appeal of a big-kid bicycle: sleek lines, cool colors, and--most importantly--two wheels. All that's missing? Pedals and training wheels. 
But that's a good thing, because FirstBIKE is made to teach toddlers (as young as two!) and young preschoolers how to ride and turn on two wheels. The idea is that, with training wheels, kids miss out on learning how to balance in a way that comes naturally to them. 
The safety factor with FirstBIKE cycles is super-high, too: a special mechanism keeps kids from jack-knifing the front wheel, reflective stickers on the frame make for extra visibility, and you can choose to have a rear drum brake wired to the handlebar for added stopping ability. 
So my girl has been cruising around like a big kid these days--the world just looks a little better when you've got a cool set of wheels. -Lexi
Help get your child ready to ride with the big kids with a FirstBIKE Balance Bike.
