Chicco Balance Bike

This is a brilliant balance bike and worth way more than it costs. With my daughter, we made the mistake of getting a very heavy Pukky balance bike which was just too much for her to handle. She never got the hang of it and we ended up sending her to cycling lessons when she was 5. For my son, we bought the Chicco. It is incredibly light- at 3 years old he can easily pick it up with one hand. He is very independent and loves being able to carry it around and in and out of the house. But that also gave him the best chance of being able to balance on the bike, and with a tiny bit of perseverance in the beginning, he has now taken to it like a duck to water and at 3.5 is completely confident with two feet off the ground, gliding along at speed. We have his first pedal bike in the attic ready for Christmas and I have no doubt he’ll take to it like a duck to water. The Chicco balance bike is also very sturdy and has the look and feel of an expensive bike. I have no doubt that it could be reused for 5 or more children. My son is not gentle with this bike, yet it barely shows a scratch. The colour is unisex too, a bonus for a bike which may well be handed down. I just wish that we’d bought this bike for my daughter in the beginning!

Happy 2nd Birthday to my friends little one! When the weather is better fun times ahead!

Absolutely love this product! Writing this review after 2 years of use. My kid has used this bike almost every day and still enjoys riding it. I bought this balance bike when he was 2 years old, and by the time he turned 4, I got him a regular bicycle. He was able to ride it on his own without training wheels in just 30 minutes. I would definitely recommend this balance bike. The best thing about it is that it’s lightweight and easy to carry, yet very sturdy and durable.

Bought this for a two year old just learning to ride/scoot, etc. It's nice and small, and I agree with the height suggestions on the box. Easy to assemble with included tools. The handlebars feels a bit loose though, and make a bit of a rattle when it gets thrown about - feels like it should come with some rubber grommets/bushings to make a tight seal and give a bit more rigidity. Perfectly decent as a first balance bike though, especially at the price point (under £30) compared to the higher end ones.

Such a great bike, hours of fun, and seems very well-made and stable. It is a lovely colour, not too bright. My daughter only just turned two years old, and isn’t yet able to balance, but I’m sure in a couple of months she will get a lot of fun out of this. We have one for my older son, and he loves it! Very easy to put together, all tools supplied, the only thing I would say is that the tires are plastic and do get a lot of wear so not sure what they will look like in a couple of years time. However excellent value, highly recommend, children learn to balance without having to concentrate on pedals!

Most research will now suggest that starting a child on a balance bike is a more effective way of promoting the skills necessary for confident cycling skills, by this children learn to sit on the bike and paddle along with their feet until they gain the confidence of balance to let go with their feet for longer and longer and glide until they feel the need to pop their feet back down safely to steady themselves once they've mastered balance they can introduce pedals on a 'real bike' with ease. Psychologically the child is much more in control and less fearful than learning to pedal with stabilisers then removing them and a parent 'letting go'. My 4 year old is tiny for her age and as such was too small for a lot of tricycles and balance bikes until earlier this year. Her grandparents bought her a bright pink wooden style one which was too big and she refused to go on it. She had a go on a friend's son's Chicco bullet at the park and was delighted at it, we took advantage of a deal which made it much cheaper and haven't looked back. The seat is easy to adjust, hers is as low as it can go safely and it's done wonders for her confidence and balance skills, she's still working towards gliding properly but it will come in her time. My only tips are watch out for the bolts which can bump if legs trail and for confident riders their shoes may wear out quicker due to breaking with their feet!

Did a lot of looking around at balance bikes, you can pay a lot for them or not very much, some are plastic, some metal, some have brakes some don't. In order to educate myself we went to Halfords but there was little interest shown by the staff in helping so we made our own judgments and are very happy we bought this one as it provides you with the right features for a toddler getting their balance without anything unnecessary. It's easy to put together and for the price the build quality and finish is impressive, it's metal but not heavy, the tyres are not pneumatic but aren't hard plastic and work well, there is also a low rolling resistance which would suggest decent bearings on the wheels. Opinion of course is subjective but for our 2yo starting out this is a great quality bike that gives you what you need but nothing unnecessary and after lots of research we're very happy with our purchase Update - June 2020. Bike is still going strong despite plenty of miles, it certainly helped our lad get his balance and transition to pedals without stabilizers before he was 4, he still loves to ride this even though he has his bigger bike. Got the yellow variant of this now for our youngest and he's getting to grips with it well too

This Chicco balance bike is very robust and light to carry. It is easy to use for little ones.
