Gifts for Kids

New from Smart Gear Balance Bikes! Don't let Johnny get stopped for speeding on his "Police Style" Wooden Bike. Like the Original Smart Gear Balance Bike and often referred to as a run bike or training bike because it is pedal free and without training wheels, this wooden bike is designed to help your child develop the most important skills BALANCE and MOTOR SKILLS which are necessary later on in riding a typical 2 wheel bicycle with pedals. Smart Gear Balance bikes were designed to develop a child's balance and coordination by simply allowing the child to sit and walk or run with the bike by pushing with their feet. If the bike starts to fall, kids instinctively regain their balance using their feet. Once they ve gained some momentum and balance control they can lift their feet up as they feel comfortable and start cruising! It is also suitable for children who need to be encouraged with motor skill development and therapeutic training. Traditional toddler bikes with training wheels don t necessarily train or teach a child how to ride a bicycle. The training wheels are merely a crutch that give the child a false sense of security and merely keep the child busy or entertained rather than actually helping the child develop the necessary skills to ride a bicycle. These bikes are made of birch wood from a replenishable source, using formaldehyde-free glue and non-toxic paints and laquer. Real inflatable PAC-free rubber tires, foam handle bar grips, cushioned leatherette seat and a unique carry handle are incorporated in the bike's body. Suitable for children ages 2+ and up to 60 pounds.
