This past December Santa’s elves made an early appearance and left a Joovy Bicycoo BMX balance bike for both Emma and Ethan. They had a blast with it and I am convinced that a balance bike should be the first step to learning to ride a bike… then a two wheeler. Learning to balance and pedal at the same time is overwhelming and quite frankly, difficult.
Balance bikes, quite simply put, introduce the idea of balance before anything else. The concept is easy: children master balance first, build confidence and then they make the transition to the ‘big kid bike’ because all they need to learn is to pedal!
Joovy has decided to celebrate spring and balance bikes with a GIVEAWAY!
ONE lucky reader will win a Joovy Bicycoo Balance Bike!

I don’t have any kids but I have a few nieces or nephews that could use this! 🙂
We were actually talking about these at our mom’s group the other day. I thought it sounded like a wonderful idea. The child learns to balance the two wheeled bicycle and then later they don’t need training wheels at all. I would use one of these for my kids.

YES! if only i can convince my husband that our son “needs” another ride-on. a balance bike is on my short wish list.
absolutely my grandson could use one now
I would so use this for my daughter who has the most difficult time trying to learn to ride her bike. She is desperate to learn so she can be like her older siblings!
It’d be so easy for me to teach him on this!
I absolutely would love to use one with my child!
