Christmas came early this year in our home for Tates, he got a BIG boy bike! He is super excited to be on the move with his Joovy Bicycoo and feeling like a big boy just like his older brother! The Joovy BicycooBMX Balance Bike is something that is a completely new concept to me as when I taught my older son T-Bone to ride a bike it was a tricycle then a bike with training wheels. Boy were we missing out back then!
You can tell right when you get the Bicycoo out of the box is is high quality, durable and will definitely make it through my boys and all the crashing and off roading adventures I know they will be doing. It has a strong aluminum frame, real big boy air filled rubber tires (no plastic tires here!) and a hand break that controls the rear wheel. The adjustable height seat is a favorite feature of mine because not all kiddos are the same height when they are ready to be scootin’ around on their first real bike ya know?
So why a bike without training wheels you might be thinking? This post on the Joovy Blog explains how training wheels can be counter-productive and introduce a false sense of confidence. Skipping them altogether makes more sense and after seeing Tates on his Bicycoo it makes perfect sense to me! We even got a friend’s daughter involved for some play time with Tates new bike!
Recommended for ages 3 and up both the kids are *almost* 3 and are already loving it so much! The super cool 2 wheel design makes these little ones feel like big kids and teaches them to ride like them too.
The Bicycoo is perfectly sized for new riders and the seat is easily adjustable for friends to share with no hurt feelings or fighting too. The Bicycoo is lightweight so kids can hold their bike up all by themselves and GO!
The Joovy BicycooBMX Balance Bike makes a fabulous holiday gift for the toddler in your life and you can purchase it directly from the Joovy website where it is on sale right now! Available in several fun colors besides the gender neutral greenie we received, which one is your favorite?
