Did you buy your kid(s) a glider bike or balance bike?

Q. What age did you purchase it for him/her/them? What do you like about the bike you bought? =)

My son is 2 1/2 and tall. I know he would have no issue fitting on one but I'm wondering if he is ready for it.


Answer
I personally think those balance bikes are a waste of money. I always just got regular bikes with training wheels. You can set the training wheels loose so the bike wobbles back and forth allowing the child to learn to balance just the same. This way when the child is ready to peddle you just take the training wheels off and they have a two wheel bike. With the balance bike/glider then you have to go buy another bike. Also it's better for your child to learn to peddle while they learn to balance. They can learn to balance on a glider but once they get a peddle bike it's different to balance while peddling and so it's like learning all over again anyway.
