BMX Toddler Balance Bike

vivg — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 02:57:38 +0000

Well, I am very into the balance bikes – there are so many excellent choices for this category, I think I have nailed 3 fantastic product options.

This is the 3rd option – a toddler balance bike modeled on the BMX bike!!! How cool!

The balance bikes are not a toy – they are an amazing learning opportunity, all the while the kids are having incredible fun!

The BMX balance strider bike has little foot rests for when the kids have completely mastered balancing and are focused on there destination around the track or backyard.

Eurotrike Strider Balance Bike

Eurotrike quality balance bike…

Did you know that once a toddler / preschooler has mastered the balance bike, they can go from a strider or balance bike straight to a push bike without training wheels in just a few minutes?

That means -

freedom for your little one while they are learning amazing balancing skills
increase in self esteem and motor skills much earlier on
no nail biting sessions at the park while you watch your little one wobble on down the path trying to learn how to balance on a push bike with or without training wheels!

The Flip Balance Bike arrived last week. This week is the Eurotrike Glider Balance Bike – check it out – I love them – I hope you do too!

Check them out….4 cool colours…. RED – BLUE – SILVER - PINK

Balance bikes – why would you want one?

Balance Bikes, Strider Bikes – seen them? Why would you want one?

Well, I met the Sales Manager for the Flip Balance bikes yesterday and learnt a few things – information I wish I had when my little girl was a toddler. It would have been great to know how to bypass the training wheel phase with less pain and fear!

This toddler bike is the natural bike choice when you are looking to get your toddler mobile:

it teaches them balance while still being in complete control
it teaches them co-ordination
it gives them a sense of freedom and therefore confidence
teaches speed control
No need for training wheels on this bike, or when they outgrow it – they should be able to go straight onto a 2 wheeled push bike!
but most of all – it allows them to feel like a ‘big kid’ because they can keep up with them!

Trampoline reviews

10 things you must know about as trampoline before you purchase it!

We have taken on the challenge to strip away the fear from the question – “which trampoline shall I buy?”, by giving an honest and fair assessment of 3 trampoline brands tested by adults and children.

The 3 contestants are: Action / no brand trampolines vs Vuly Trampolines vs Springfree Trampolines.

Buying a trampoline is considered a ‘big’ purchase, and in my book, a very important purchase. There are many things to consider:

springs vs no springs
sturdiness of structure
UV stability of every component
mat quality
bounce effects on your body
net safety
pole protection
quality of spring protector mats
max. load it can bear
frame structure

Because the purchase is not a decision that can be made in a minute – neither can a review be done in a few lines.
