Convertible from balance bike to pedals, the Strider 14x is a good choice for preschoolers who start a balance bike later. Read the review!
Larger 14" air tires
Comfortable, upright geometry for beginners
Cushioned, ergonomic seat
Foot platforms allow for gliding and tricks in balance bike mode
Heavy for a balance bike
No hand brake, coaster brake in pedal mode

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
