From the time your child begins to walk well, she can use the Kinderbike. The bike comes in three models, each designed the accommodate the stature of children at different ages, from 18 months to more than 5 years of age. When your child sits astride the bike, she uses her feet to make the bike move. This teaches balance, steering and control, all at the same time, without having to coordinate pedaling and maintaining a certain speed to balance. As your child becomes more proficient at these skills, you can more easily transition her to a pedaled two-wheeler.

Compared with other comparable balance bikes on the market, all bikes within the Kinderbike line are reasonably and competitively priced. The manufacturer suggested retail price for a Kinderbike, depending on the model, ranges from $85 to $100, as of February 2011, which is actually a drop in price since 2010. With these balance bikes being durable enough to hand down to younger children, the Kinderbike makes a good investment as a plaything for your child.

From the factory, the Kinderbike already comes 95 percent assembled. All you need to do is install the handlebars. The bike also comes with a limited lifetime warranty compared to the typical one-year warranty of other manufacturers.

The Kinderbike design provides a low center of gravity, making the bike inherently easier to balance and control. The deep slop of the frame makes mounting the Kinderbike easy. The hand-grip linear-pull V-brake makes stopping both quick and controllable. Steering on the Kniderbike provides a full range of motion for easy and safe maneuvering. Also, Kinderbikes do not use foot pegs or rests or steering limiters. This requires your child to use her feet to stabilize the bike, which is much safer.
