Nowadays, many parents buy balance bikes for their children, which can train their balance and hand eye brain coordination skills. However, when children use balance bikes, they must be accompanied by their parents, and too young babies cannot ride balance bikes. So, can a two-year-old baby ride a balance bike?
A two-year-old baby can ride a balance bike because the suitable age for a balance bike is 2-5 years old. Parents should choose a child balance bike that fits their baby's height and leg length. Generally, babies around two years old have a height of about 85 centimeters and leg length of about 30 centimeters, so it is recommended to buy an 8-inch wheel balance bike.
When a baby rides a balance bike, they must wear suitable shoes. Because the balance bike needs to slide on the child's legs, with movements and speeds similar to riding a bicycle, it is necessary to prepare shoes that can completely wrap around the child's feet. It is best to choose durable outdoor hard soled shoes or wear mesh shoes with outdoor hard soles.
A balance bike can exercise a child's balance ability and can be considered as a baby's first means of transportation. However, it may be unstable at the beginning of learning, which is a normal phenomenon. Because the baby's balance is relatively weak, they cannot control their body balance well. But after practice, children can master balance well and also exercise the muscles of their legs.
