My DS is very good on his balance bike. I would like to get him a new bike for his birthday I think he is ready to move on to a bike with pedals. Do I get him one with stabilisers or one without? I have dyspraxia and never learned to ride a bike he has such good physical skills and is going to be way ahead of me. I feel that I can’t help him so much.

Don't put him on stabilisers. The whole point of balance bikes is to avoid them!! My two went onto normal pedals age 3.5

There is a company that you can rent kids bikes from and move up sizes as they grow rapidly. I am also a huge Isla and Frog fan, we sold ours for the same as we paid, even after two children.
