When did your child start to ride a pedal bike with stabilisers?

Someone is giving us an old bike of theirs and wants to give it to us but my LO is only just 2, and I don’t think he will be anywhere near riding it yet. I’m thinking more of a balance bike, but yes when did your child ride a pedal bike with stabilisers?

Mine has just turned 3, and she had a balance bike, but she's getting a bike with stabilisers for Christmas.

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!
