Bikes for toddlers with stabilisers

[wasthataburp]

Does anyone know where I can buy bikes with stabilisers for a 2 year old boy and 3 year old girl? I am looking for bikes that don't have characters all over them! Thanks.

Would you consider balance bikes instead? They are much more popular nowerdays as kids have more control and can go to real bikes much sooner. There’s a much better choice. I’d get one with a brake for your 3yo if you have hills nearby.

No they have had balance bikes for a while now and just cannot get the hang of it.

Try a local independent bike shop, they'll sort you out. At that age a good bike makes all the difference, when ds(16) was that age we bought a ridgeback with stabilisers, light and smooth, and he was very good on it.

Mum and Dad bought the next size up and it was a tesco cheapy, it was too heavy and stiff and put him right off. The ridgeback was a little bit more expensive at the time, paid around £100 for, but sold for £50 when he outgrew.

My youngest never got on with balance bikes. Did great on a bike with stabilisers.

Halfords have 20% off kids bikes at the moment.

Decathlon. All but one of the kids bikes have been from there. Some for that age group have stabilisers, you can opt for them or not. If you do some are easy release ones and don’t require tools. Either online or Instore if you want to try them.

Halfords bikes are crap. They are so heavy! It really put my DD off.
