Balance bike vs Bike with training wheels

• Natalie G. Hi Cindy, Current literature on the subject states that balance bikes are actually better for teaching young children how to ride a bike rather than traditional training wheels. The hardest part of learning to ride a bike is learning to balance so by teaching this skill first, the thinking is that it’s then easier for children to learn to ride a bicycle with pedals. It’s best to look for one that has an adjustable seat so not only will be the right size for you son now but will grow with him.
