Bicycle optional tricks

Both Wishbone 3-in-1 and Yvolution Yvelo Jr are the perfect choices for children who are not quite ready for a bike for balance, but it will be soon.

Wishbone 3-in-1

Price: List of $ 229

Very smart Wishbone 3-in-1 The bike is converted from three -wheeled trick into a small bike to balance on a larger bike for balance, doing it the only one you need until the baby is ready for slippers.

It is durable, well made and environmentally friendly. It is made of materials responsible for the environment such as recycled plastic birch and fees.

Yvoliol Yvelo Junior

Price:

(Last update: – More information)

IN Yvoliol yvelo jr Bull balance has a unique design. For very young children there are two rear wheels that make the bike additional stable. Then, after they are a little older, you can turn it into one rear wheel.

We love this bike for the inner toy. The tires do not mark, so you do not have to worry about your floors.

Balance bikes with slippers options

Balances with slippers can be used first without slippers to learn to balance, then with slippers attached to use as a regular bike (Sans training wheel). This is a great choice for parents who don’t want to buy a bike for balance and another pedal bike. This is said, before you start this route, you might want to check our DIY method (described in detail below).

Littlebig bike

Price: $ 330

IN Toddler is a 3-in-1 14 ″ wheel bike that turns a little equilibrium into a Big balance bike on a pedal bike. Unlike the nearest competitor, Strider 14x (listed below), Littlebig offers the double hand bark we love.

It also has top -notch features such as internally directed cables and beautiful wide pneumatic tires.

The only thing to be aware is that, although the bike is advertised for children under 7, up to 5 or 6 years old, children will be far better than 16 ″ or even 20 ″ bicycles.

Battles 14x

Price: 229,99 USD
(Last update: 2025-03-29 at 16: 41- More information)

Strider makes the most famous bikes in balance, but you may not know that they make a popular balance for a pedal bike as well. IN Battles 14x It has 14 ″ wheels with pneumatic (air) tires and weighs in a respectable 12.5 lbs.

The only thing we don’t like at the bike is that it has a rear brake and brake brakes. He also has short hands, which means it’s okay for a starter pedal bike, but your child will be limited in their ability to grow and improve the bike.

Black Mount Pinto

Price: £ 399

IN Black Mount Pinto is unlike anything else outside. It has an expandable growth frame with a bicycle bike on a 12 ″ slipper bike on a 14 ″ bike. In addition, the laptop “grows” with the baby and gives them a higher transfer when they are ready for it.

Another really cool thing of this bike is a belt drive (not a chain). Although this will find something on some children’s bikes with a higher end, it is rare to see on a bike in this little one. The belt drives are excellent because they almost do not require maintenance.

Pinto is certainly not a cheap bike, but it’s a solid investment if you can consider that these are three bikes in one. The only (smaller) con is that it takes a little work to convert, but again, it probably pays off.

DIY Option: Bike with slippers with slippers removed

Our last bike is not a certain recommendation for bikes at all, instead it is a DIY option! If your child is old enough for a pedal bike but has not already mastered a bike for balance, think about buying them a Good bike for pedals And then just removing slippers.

You want to be sure to buy a bicycle that has a minimum seat table that is at least as long as your baby is in your child to put your feet straight on the ground while sitting on the saddle. Then remove the slippers.

Encourage them to exercise as they throw themselves away, then they are done on a bike like you would be with a bike with a balance. Then, after they lower the balance, you can put the slippers back.

We did this with a lot of children and we think it is the best choice if your child is about to start pedal soon.

Comparison chart

Here’s a chart that will give you a little more information about every bike.

Is the bike for convertible balance a good idea?

It can be. If your main concern is to buy a bicycle that will last for a while, then it could be a convertible balance. This is especially true of bicycles that are converted from a 3 -wheel trick into bikes in balance with 2 wheels.

Accordingly, none of these bicycles is perfect, and this is especially true of the bicycle balance to the conversion of bicycles. Trying to be fine in multiple things that do not stand out in any one.

Strider 14x, for example, is a bit heavy for a balance for balance, and 14 ″ wheels may still be too big for smaller bicycle riders. As a pedal bike, the brakes are missing, and the geometry (aka low -bottom carrier) forces shorter than normal handles.

They may be a good short -term solution, but before later you will want to upgrade your child on a high quality pedal bike. Or simply use the DIY option we mentioned above and now get them with these quality pedal bikes.
