In hindsight I would get a balance bike and when they grow out of that get a bike. Mine learnt when she was 6 to ride without stabilisers.
I would skip the stabilisers and do the balance bike to pedal bike transition instead. We did a balance bike from 1 years old and by 3 years old she was on a pedal bike no stabilisers.
At 3yr he has a scooter, a 3 wheel balance bike, and a bike w training wheels and and he likes his balance bike the most, scooter second. He’s had his scooter since 18m though it was the first thing he had.
Thank you everyone, I think I will suggest a balance bike for now then to get the grips of balance and steering etc and then maybe a pedal bike once he’s 3, thank you!
Mine has just turned 3, and she had a balance bike, but she's getting a bike with stabilisers for Christmas.
