Frog Tadpole Balance Bike (12")
Get Your Child Riding and Watch the Fun Begin! Learn with Hand Brakes from the Start.
There's nothing like the feeling of watching your child riding their first bicycle! The Frog Tadpole 12" Balance Bike is the perfect way to get them started on two wheels. This bike will make riding as easy as walking for your little one. It is essentially a toddler bike without pedals and is designed to introduce toddlers ages 2 to 3 to the world of cycling, allowing them to develop the balance necessary to ride a bicycle. This premium toddler’s bike has a lightweight, sturdy aluminum frame, weighing just 9.2 lbs, making the bike easy to maneuver and easy for parents to carry. It is available in an array of fun and bright colors that your child is sure to love!
The Tadpole balance bike is a great alternative to training wheels. It comes fully equipped with high-spec age-specific components, designed for comfort and longevity.
The toddler-sized saddle with quick-release seat post allows for easy height adjustment as they grow and become more confident, and the Tektro brakes with small, easy-to-reach brake levers, mean better control for mini riders. It also comes with chunky tires for maximum stability and grip, and for added security, the bike offers the added benefit of a steering lock, which acts as a safety mechanism to prevent oversteering and serious falls.
Please note: Valve dust caps are not supplied with this model in order to adhere to safety regulations.

2 yr old birthday
We just got the bike - the packaging was amazing the bike was super easy to finish putting together ( just tightened the handle bars) and the quality and size of the strider were exactly what we were looking for. Our daughter was so pleased!

Great to hear!
Grandson's 1st Bike
My grandson really enjoyed the Tadpole
My 3.5 yr Old Granddaughter Loves Her New Bike
Everything went smoothly. Communication was good and guidance with what was most suitable much appreciated. My 3.5 yr old granddaughter immediately took to riding the bike and is working on her balance skills. She loves her new jazzy pink bike!!
Awesome service
Amazing daughter loves her frog 10”
Great product, great service
The bike we chose for our son arrived quickly and was exactly what we wanted and expected.
Cutest bike ever
Excellent! Great bike and great customer service.
Love this bike!
This is the best balance bike for your young toddler (walking-age 2.5). By 18 months my toddler could cruise without difficult and by age 2 she was riding in pump parks! Love it!
Great Purchase!
This is a solid bike that's going to last for years! I was hesitant because of the price but I'm happy with the quality and durability. No other brand offered 10" frame
Fabulous purchase
Oh my little line year old walking granddaughter got right on and keeps trying it out. Was the right height for her. Can’t wait to see her grow into this bike as an introduction to bicycling life long.
Wow!
We are happy to review the Tadpole 12” balance bike! The quality and the workmanship is awesome and the customer service was excellent. Our 3yr old granddaughter LOVES her Frog! I (Papa Jack) made the grievous mistake of buying a cheaper version of a balance bike with foam tires and NO HANDBRAKES. It worked OK for teaching her to balance, but as soon as she learned that, she had no way of stopping except to risk injury by dragging her feet and having them fold up under her on occasion. I was lucky enough to have found the Tadpole on line and available. She picked up the use of the handbrake almost immediately and with just a very few reminders as she rides, she has now learned to use the brake instead of her feet. I am already looking for the Big Girl bike she will need soon, I’m sure. This was such an improvement over the first balance bike that I think that they should be outlawed unless they have handbrakes. Without them they are just too dangerous.
Second review
I think the purchase went very well. I received advice that allowed me to make the correct choice of a balance bike for my 3-1/2 year old grandson.
Great balance bike, great service!
The bike is awesome. My 3 year old son loves it. The long wheel base and solid design make learning very easy. The service was great - very responsive to email inquiries and accommodating.
Great Bike, bigger than expected
This bike is really well built and very solid. Unfortunately it’s still too tall for my short 21 month old. She has been riding a tadpole mini with 10” wheels for months and I thought the 12” wheels would be more fun for her on dirt trails, but this was a big size jump. She can fit a Strider fine, but the minimum seat height on the Tadpole is over 12” so she’s on tiptoes with it. I’m sure it will be a lot of fun when she’s tall enough, but not the right bike for right now.
Love it!
This bike is just adorable! Came faster than expected too! We are very happy with the purchase and with ready set pedal!
Fast friendly customer service!
Every time I emailed about the status of my bike, I had a reply within a day with a person al explanation. My bike was delayed due to COVID but the communication was great! I love how they checked my bike before sending and sent the name of the person who did it. I would absolutely buy from RSP!
