Strider 12 Sport Balance Bike

A balance bike is simply the best way for a child to learn balance and learn to ride a bike.

The Strider 12 Sport is the perfect bike to take your little one from baby steps to big strides and helps instill the courage and confidence to face whatever comes their way...before they’re even potty trained. It introduces kids to the freedom of riding while developing their balance and coordination. 

The Strider 12 Sport is a great all-around model. The lightweight, steel frame can handle the gnarliest of toddler abuse, and Flat-Free Foam Rubber Tires means you’ll never get stuck in the garage fixing a flat. The Strider Sport is highly adjustable with a seat height range from 28-48 cm (11-19 in.). Plus, it comes with an Extra-Long Seatpost, so you can start them tiny and keep them riding while they are growing like weeds. The cushy, padded seat means little tushies stay comfortable post diapers (we’ll leave the potty training up to you). And, with quick-release seat and handlebar adjustments, you never have to bust out the toolkit. It’s no wonder this is the best-selling Strider Balance Bike worldwide.
