From when is a balance bike suitable for my child? A balance bike is suitable for children from 2 years of age, at this age many little ones are ready to start exploring the world on their balance bikes. Besides age, the child's height is a very important prerequisite to enjoy cruising on a balance bike. The BERG MOOV 10 balance bike is basically suitable from 2 years of age, depending on your child's height. From that age, most kids are ready to get on a balance bike.
More about thisBalance bikes come in all shapes and sizes, as well as different materials. For example, there are balance bikes made of wood and plastic, as well as balance bikes made of different types of metal. Generally, most balance bikes are made of steel or aluminium, with steel balance bikes tending to be heavier and aluminium balance bikes more expensive. Here are some more of the different types of balance bikes with a focus on the material.
More about thisThe BERG balance bikes offer extra safety in several areas. This is partly due to the steering limitation, which can be set according to the child's experience. The more experienced the child, the further they can steer. The material the balance bike is made of is also important. The BERG Biky balance bike has a magnesium frame, while the BERG MOOV has a lightweight steel frame, both of which are incredibly light, strong, and also durable. This gives the child optimal control over the balance bike. This is in contrast to a heavy frame, which can sometimes be disproportionately heavy in relation to a child's body weight. Initially, children often still intuitively brake with their feet, which is fine at lower speeds. For extra safety, models are also available with a handbrake, so that even at higher speeds, the balance bike comes to a quick stop. Furthermore, the soft-grip handles, height-adjustable leather saddle, and integrated footrests are all components that further enhance safety. Finally, there is also the option to add a safety flag and helmet to your Biky or MOOV. A helmet may be desirable if your child is already reaching high speeds on the balance bike. This ensures optimal safety while playing.
