Put a Bow on It: Balance Bikes Canada #Giveaway

November 11, 2012 By Lena

*Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.*

Although I don’t have an official Holiday Gift Guide here on Listen to Lena, avid readers will take note of this post title and rub their hands with glee. Why? Because my “Put a Bow on It” series highlights some of my favourite gift giving ideas, and often, you can win them right here!

If you’ve got kiddos, chances are you’ve heard of the Strider Bike, available from Balance Bikes Canada. (And if you’re unfamiliar with the product, prepare to have your mind blown. Seriously.)

My first memory of learning to ride a bike was graduating from my Big Wheel to a small green two-wheeler, complete with rickety, hand-me-down training wheels. How I hated the “thump-thump-thump” of the wheels as I zoomed over the sidewalk, and couldn’t wait to learn how to balance on my own. While I can’t remember exactly how long the transition took, I do remember wanting to feel like a big girl – hey, even at 5 years old, I was embarrassed by my ride.

Ryder is now 4 years old, and until recently, showed little interest in riding a bike. (I blame the Fisher-Price Power Wheels Escalade in our garage, ha ha!) But, as he grew older and grew taller, I began thinking that maybe it was time to force the issue, because I didn’t want him to fall behind – even if it was just at play. My husband, bless his heart, was worried about what the neighbours would think because he was too old to be sporting training wheels.

“Ha!” I scoffed. “There’s no such thing as training wheels anymore! We’ll just get him a Balance Bike.”

Don’t know about Balance Bikes? Let me introduce you to their most popular model – the Strider ST-3 No-Pedal Balance Bike. “Give your kids a head start on learning balance and control of a two-wheeler! The Strider PRE-bike eliminates the need for a tricycle or training wheels and offers your child a vehicle he or she can have a blast riding for years. The Strider develops muscles, coordination, motor skills, and endurance… all under the guise of sheer fun!”

Here’s what makes it AWESOME:

Balance Bikes Canada generously sent one our way for review (and relief – finally, Ryder is on a bike!). Since he is on the taller side for a 4 year old, we also needed the Extra-Long Seatpost with Saddle. The seatpost extends the saddle height another 3″ to a maximum of 19″ from the ground.

Well, I wish I could say that we reviewed the item over weeks and had interesting tales to tell, but the truth is, Ryder got the balance thing down pat in a matter of days. DAYS, folks! (I’m pretty sure I was in training wheels for months.) The Strider bike offers a low center of gravity and the ability to place both feet on the ground, which made Ryder feel much more in control. Because he was allowed to push alongside the bike, find his rhythm and finally, have the confidence to balance his feet on the footrests, it allowed for a safe, secure and empowering bike riding experience! At last, I can honestly say that Balance Bikes are worth the hype – every child should learn to ride a bike this way.

And off he goes. I must admit that my husband did most of the “coaching” – I simply asked him, So can he ride a bike yet? And he said… “Yes”. At first I thought he was joking, because I was certain he had only taken him out a handful of times. Turns out, that’s all he needed!

More nice-to-know features:

Super lightweight at less than 7 pounds.
Unique frame design has integrated footrests for gliding.
Puncture-proof all-terrain tires with sealed bearings and 5/16″ steel axles. Tires never need inflating!
Durable welded steel frame and handlebars.
2 year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Adjustable handlebar and seat height fits riders from 30″ to 44″ tall.
Optional XL seat post increases maximum seat height to 19 inches for taller riders.
Paint certified to be significantly below the CA Prop. 65 limits for heavy metal content, including lead.
Optional foot brake available.
No need for tippy training wheels on a tall, heavy pedal bicycle or a tricycle with terrible pedal leverage ratios.
Rider weight limit of 60 pounds.

The Strider Bike retails for $129.00 at Balance Bikes Canada and is worth every penny. Now that Ryder has mastered the art of balance, we’ll be passing it along to little Reid – who at 2 years old is the perfect age to start learning!

    My son got one of these last spring and had the same experience. He was riding it within a couple of days and at age 3! I truly believe this played a huge role in building his confidence because this summer he learned to ride his two-wheeler without the training wheels. I was amazed!

    My son just turned 3 and I think he would really benefit from learning how to ride a bike with the balance bike. I’ve heard of the balance bike before but have never tried it with my son.

  48. Tanya Dove

    I have heard of them they seem like a really great idea for little ones not able to master the coordination of peddling.

    This would be perfect for our daughter. She’s a late learner too.

  54. Tanya

    November 12, 2012 at 2:44 pm

    I really love these bikes and wish I would have had one for my older daughter who is 8, and still does not have the confidence to ride a bike. I now have a daughter who will be 3 in March 2013 I wanted to buy her one for xmas this year but we just dont have the budget to do it. They do have cheaper ones out there, but they have plastic wheels, which I am not fond of.

  55. Tina

    November 12, 2012 at 2:57 pm

    I have heard of them, but have not seen them before. I think they’re a great idea for kids to build their confidence in riding a bike without training wheels.

    I work in a childcare centre; we are always on the lookout for used or on-sale balance bikes for the preschoolers to use in the playground. We believe in providing children with the materials they need to gain new skills on their own, at their pace, without interference from adults, and balance bikes are perfect for that.

    My son got one of these as a hand-me-down from a family friend when he was 1 and a half… he was riding down hills by himelf by the time he was 2… it looked funny seeing such a little kid riding a bike! But he did it… never had a tricycle and will probably go straight to a peddle bike w/o training wheels… These bikes are AMAZING! Would love to win one for my nephew! Thanks

  72. Angela M

    November 13, 2012 at 12:51 pm

    I have seen balance bikes before and my daughter had one and it really helped with her balance – it was an easy transition to regular bike without training wheels.

    This is the first that I’ve heard of them. I wish I had them back in the day so that I didn’t have to scrape my face against the concrete while learning. The kids would love this though. I’m too scared to let them go off on two wheelers still.

    A couple of my son’s little friends have one, and they are AMAZING. I figured it was just another one of those things when I first saw them, but Balance Bikes proved me wrong. I’d love to win one for my son for Christmas – this would be very useful for him!

    I’ve definitely heard of these incredible bikes.. Would love to have one for my youngest girl.. she is 2 and our oldest daughter was an early rider (riding without training wheels by 4yrs old).. so we saw this bike in action and thought what a fantastic way to introduce our youngest to riding with confidence! Would love to win one of these.. :)

    November 17, 2012 at 9:31 pm

    First time I saw one I though the kid was riding a broken bike! Lol
    I get them, and I actually believe it can work as described, but would it kill the manufacturer to make a set of pedals that can fit on after the kid gets the balance part down pat? Then it could actually be a bike with some longevity beyond the training period.

  98. Amy C

    November 18, 2012 at 1:59 am

    I heard of Balance Bikes and think that they would be a great beginner bike.

    What an interesting product! My son is 3 and will be starting to ride a bike in the near future–this may be something I need to look into!

    I’ve heard of these but didn’t give them too much thought till I read this post. I think my giant 2 yo son would love to have one.

    I have not heard of these bikes before……but I like what I see……BALANCE!

    This product might save many scrapes and bruises like we all got trying to learn how to ride a bucycle.

    My oldest son had one of these and got his balance so quickly- he never needed a bike with training wheels! Awesome!

    Would have saved me some nasty falls as a child.

    This is an amazing tool to help children find their independance, while learning a valuable skill . . . balance!

    This bike is new to me. I like the adjustable handlebar and seat height. This would make a great gift for my 4 year old godson!

    My neices and nephews have 5 little ones that could use this bike.

    No, I had never heard of balance bikes before. I like that the tires never need inflating.

    Seems like a cool bike. It would be an awesome gift for my nephew!

    I wonder how the foot brake works – I got the impression this bike was for balance and did not ride.

  130. Barb

    These are such a smart invention! Wish I’d thought of it! I guess the next best thing would be to have one for my little one!

    I have heard of them before, my favourite part is it teaching children balance…I saw one during the summer months and wondered what the heck, and Ive been seeing them ever since then popping up everywhere

    My daughter just turned 5 and she wants to bike so bad but is having a lot of difficulties. I saw this and saw balance… and I need to try one these out to see if it can help her learn to ride!

    My nephew had one and it was really interesting to watch him learn to ride with it. He transitioned easily to a pedal bike with no training wheels and was riding when he was 3!

    I have heard of them before. I think they’re a great idea and I love how stylish and non-baby it looks!

    I’m thinking this could be used indoors do they little ones can be ready to ride when spring arrives.

    Kids can get so much confidence learning to balance inside and show off their skills by being able to ride withour training wheels outside.

    Yes, I have heard of them, and I think they’re a great transition before becoming a bike rider :)

    I seen one for the first time last week, they look awesome and as soon as my son seen it he wanted one. My son has issues with balancing so this would be a fun way for him to work on it.

    The lightweight makes it easy for the younger children to use.

    I have never seen or heard of them until now but it seems like the bike is very appealing towards kids.

    I have heard of balance bikes before. That would be awesome if they could help my boys figure out their balance on a bike!
