🚲 Adjustable Balance Buddy Review

Wow. I spent about four hours in two weeks teaching my daughter how to ride, but to no avail. Today everything was different and everything went like this. I put the Balance Buddy on her pedal bike and then rode her to the empty elementary school parking lot. In addition to her pedal bike, I brought her a balance bike. She rode the balance bike with her father for half an hour until she got tired. She then said that she wanted to try her pedal bike again. I put her on the bike, then pushed her…

I'm 6 feet tall and my back was killing me. The next day at work I considered adding something to the back of her seat so I could walk her upright…

My little ones were riding bikes when we first tried the stuff! This is genius! We literally spent the summer trying to get them to ride without training wheels. even the last few years with my senior. They do a great job with the Strider and then everyone gets scared when we take the training wheels off their big bikes. One of my toddlers was very reluctant and avoided studying for the past 2 years. We would try and the experience would end in tears every time it felt shaky. There were so many
