The Walking Bike - the Learning Toy With The Wow Factor
When I see the walking bike being used in our park, it warms my heart and really makes me smile. Seeing the bubbly confidence and sheer joy of the children often makes my day. It sometimes puts me in mind of the stark contrast, between that and my efforts when learning to ride a bicycle.
Although it was more years ago than I care to remember, the wobbly progress, constant falls and grazed knees etc., are still pretty vivid in my memories.
No such thing will happen to those lucky little ones, whose parents decide that the walking bike is the right way to get them started.
This is an excellent concept toy; if your child has one of these, they will never need stabilizers and will progress to a two-wheel cycle naturally without stress.
The major problem with stabilizers is that they do not help the child develop balance. Once the child has used them, then it is hard to take them off the cycle. However with this cycle, the child develops balance on two wheels naturally and will be eons ahead of those who used stabilizers. This is because they develop the coordination and motor skills needed, so it really helps to build their self confidence on two wheels.
The bike is extremely safe and tough, so it will be able to be passed on to a younger sibling, or friend, while still looking good and working well. The bike is made from wood but is light at around 8 lbs and has an adjustable seat for height and a washable cotton saddle cover.
Everybody who sees your child on this bike will be impressed with its style and also with their proficiency when riding it. It is one of those examples where it is probably worth paying a little more for a good quality version, as the cheap ones do not last so well and some of them are easily damaged. The wooden version is easy to assemble and adding the rubber handlebar grips can be made easy, if you rub the handlebars with soap first.
I think this is a gift which we, as parents and grandparents, can enjoy every bit as much as the child does. My first bicycle was very important to me, all the more so perhaps, because I had to wait until I was older. This is just not necessary now, as you can get your child started so much sooner. We can also have the fun of watching them learn the basics on this superb walking bike.
This is a gift for all the year round, but what a special present for Christmas this wonderful walking bike would make.

Strider Running Bike - Red $99 The Strider Running Bike is a truly fun and exciting way for kids to develop essential motor skills at a young age. If your child can walk, your child can ride this bike. Designed for children ages as young as 18 months up to 5 years old, this bike teaches your child balance, coordination and confidence. Trikes and bikes with training wheels don’t.  While traditional bicycles place too much focus on learning to pedal -- skimping on developing your child’s motor skills, the Strider teaches balance and coordination before pedaling. Kids quickly learn to sit down, push with their feet and zip right along as they balance on two wheels. Traditional bikes and tricycles tend to be heavy, clunky and difficult for kids to pedal and control.  The Strider gives your child a safer way to learn bike riding because it's free from any cables, chains, sprockets, pedals or protrusions that can harm your child. Its lightweight design and low center of gravity make it easy to maneuver and control, giving your child a safe and secure feeling.  The bike’s adjustable seat height starts at 11 inches from the ground, accommodating the shortest of legs. Control is further enhanced with a low and flat handlebar design.  Kids can now reach forward rather than up, which gives them better leverage and maneuverability.  And as the your child becomes more confident, the Strider’s integrated foot rests provide a place for both feet while coasting along. Give your child growth and development a jump start with the Strider Running Bike! Features: The Strider Running Bike offers a safe, speedy and smooth transition into a two-wheel pedal bike Lightweight design and low center of gravity make it easy to maneuver and control, giving your child a safe and secure feeling Durable, low-maintenance design Durable welded steel frame and handlebars Puncture-proof all-terrain tires with sealed bearings and 5/16" steel axles Specifications: Adjustable handlebar and seat height to fit riders from 30" to 44" tall (saddle height adjusts from 11" to 16" from ground) Rider weight limit of 50 pounds Weighs only 6.9 lbs. 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects Unique frame design has integrated footrests for gliding Gift Wrap not available.
