We started Colin out on a balance bike. That is the bike that has two wheels but no peddles. They scoot around with their feet until they pick up speed and then pull up their feet, balance, and glide. It took Colin awhile to get the hang of it and I started to wonder if it was the right choice. However, this year he really got it and flew around on that thing.
We decided to get him a bike with peddles and training wheels. He had the training wheels on for a day and a half and then asked to get them off.
This was his first day without training wheels. He picked it up SO quickly.
I definitely think the balance bikes are a great way to get kids started on riding. We are so excited to have him riding his bike since it is something we love so much.
