It starts as a stroller with straps to keep kids secure and turns into a tricycle as your child becomes more independent.

    Original 16" Big Wheel

    Nancy L.:  You loved it as a kid! The Original Big Wheel is back and better than ever. It features a three-position, Grow-With-Me seat, it's low to the ground so kids can get on and off easily, features the oversized front wheel we all remember, and wide rear wheels.

    Strider Sport Balance Bike

    Ages

    Ages 18 months - 5 years

    Jennie Utsinger:  Strider dominates the balance bike market with its adjustability and quality construction. The Sport is the most popular model and comes in a variety of colors. The handlebars and seat adjust with ease to transition between your toddler and preschooler.

    Razor DeltaWing Scooter

    Erynn:  These scooters all the rage in our neighborhood--apparently an "upgrade" from regular scooters! Kids have to use a wiggling motion to operate the scooter, but stopping is simple with a hand-brake. They can either stand or squat down to ride, but either way, they're working plenty of muscles to get moving.

    Schwinn Steerable Bike

    Erin P.:  This is a great beginner bike! The parent push handle actually steers the bike and can be easily removed when a child is ready to ride alone.

    Firmstrong Urban Girl Single Speed Beach Cruiser Bicycle

    Kristy Pepping:  If you are looking for a bike your kids can grow into, this is an investment, but worth it for the high reviews. This vintage-style bike comes in a 13-20-inch wheels and also comes in several colors.

    Mongoose Legion Street Freestyle BMX Bike

    Lisa R:  For kids interested in riding ramps, jumping stairs, and other crazy stunts most moms would rather not think about, this BMX bike offers just enough features and durability to handle whatever they want to throw at it. For kids that want to enter stunt competitions or racing, you'll want a specialized model, but this one will get your kids wherever they want to go and ensure that they look cool along the way.

    Woom Bike

    Sarah Calamita:  The WOOM bike is expensive, but worth it! So light, has hand brakes and so easy to ride. My 4 year old learned in a day it was such an easy ride.
