About this deal
Also, for children of this age group who may be getting closer to moving to a pedal bike, it’s helpful for them to get used to a hand-operated braking system, rather than scraping their shoes against the path to stop.
This innovative aluminium-frame toddler balance bike converts to a small pedal bike and then a larger pedal bike. This can be super handy if you've got two kids of balance bike age, or you're taking the bike to park where other children want a turn; a QR is much quicker than the faff of an Allen key.I liked that you could move the seat up and down to your child’s height without having to use tools like previous bikes we have had. Once they gain confidence, the stabiliser can be removed and the bike converts to a traditional 2-wheeled design.
Straight out of the box the AIRO's simplicity is clear; you just remove the packaging, straighten the bars, tighten the stem with the included 5mm allen key, and adjust the saddle.but the smaller frame and narrower handlebars seemed to provide too small of a base for her taller and wider frame (more about this below). The wheels are sealed bearing and the tyres and "proper" pneumatic tubes are similar to what you find on larger bikes (cheaper balance bikes often use solid tyres). By getting rid of the drivetrain and allowing a first time rider to simply push their way around without anything in the way. The large inflatable tyres are tough enough to handle all kinds of terrain, although we felt the bike itself performed much better on smooth paths and playgrounds. The lightweight design combined with super smooth bearings and slightly bigger tires make this bike cruise.
