Ok so I’m a little bit excited, my daughter is 3 and we recently bought her a Tike balance bike to test it out and she can ride!
Actually she is more like a little zipper that flies down the footpath with her legs held up in the air screaming with delight. This has got to be our favourite toy at the moment as she loves her new found freedom.
We get lots of people asking us about it and the other day I spoke to a lady whose 6 year old child was having trouble learning to ride a bike after using training wheels for so long.
These bikes are amazing and it’s hard to imagine until you actually see a child riding them that anyone could ride a bike without pedals!
So why are balance bikes the latest craze to hit the streets? Because when your child rides one they are totally in control and can use their feet to move and stop when needed, but most importantly they learn to balance and ride the bike. Unlike training wheels which goes against a child’s natural instinct to let themselves fall.
The Tike balance bike is Australian designed and superior quality above the rest with it’s safety standards and commitment to protecting our environment. I believe that a toy needs to be well made to last many years and even generations of play and not only is the Tike made from the highest quality FSC certified timber (sustainable forestry), all lacquers used on the Tike are water based, non toxic and environmentally friendly and for every Tike made a tree is planted.
The Tike balance bike is now available in both our stores (online & Hawthorn) and don’t be suprised if you see a little girl riding around the store.
And sometimes even her teddies go along for the ride!
