I’m back from my vacation but still in recovery mode. Instead of a new post (I’ll still have the Flip video and review for you soon) I wanted to let you know that I’ve posted over on the Tampa Bay Moms Blog about Balance Bikes. I get so many questions about why and how to use them so I included a video with some short clips of my boys riding their balance bikes and the video of Fletcher riding a bike for the first time. For him, it was very easy to pick up thanks to his months of balancing on the balance bike. The video isn’t playing on the blog post at the moment so I’m including it here for you also. {Read the post here.}
For anyone curious about the bikes we use at our house, Fletcher rides the Mini Glider by Glide Bikes which we found at a thrift shop for $8.00 (not even kidding!) and Everett just recently got a Y Bike Extreme. (*aff links)
I can’t say enough great things about starting your child off on a balance bike and skipping the training wheels when it comes to teaching your child how to ride a bike! Maybe Santa will have one for your little one this year?!
