Strider's Rocking Base was already a great way to introduce bikes to babies. Now the quick release makes it even easier!

Giving your child a good first experience on a bike is important if you want them to grow up and love their bikes as much as you do. A balance bike is the ideal introduction and avoids the difficult transition from stabilisers to two wheels. We tested the Strider 12" Pro balance bike, with a sometimes willing, and sometimes not so willing toddler
Lightweight so easy for a small toddler to handle
Lots of adjustment meaning it can last for years
Solid tyres so no messing with pumping them up or mending punctures
Easy to build
Expensive for a toddler
When saddle at lowest setting seatpin sticks out the bottom which can catch ankles
More colourful options might be attractive to kids
