C at 20 months is bike obsessed and is desperate to get going on the balance bike but his legs aren't quite long enough yet. Having been on the Toddlebike, she was already a pro when she got the Bullet (age 2) and was only on it a few months before being ready for pedals. Additionally, as you can see below, the tires on the Red Bullet are much smaller (10″) than most every other balance bike (12″).

And because there are other cheap bikes that are significantly better and easier to ride, there really is no reason to choose the Red Bullet.

Once she was out of nappies though the seat was too uncomfortable (and still too short for the softer bigger saddle) but fortunately someone gave us an Islabikes Rothan (see below) which was much more comfy and having the brake did help with getting ready for a Frog pedal bike. Adjustability – As many balance bikes are an investment, you want to pick one that can grow with your child over a couple of years, so it’s a good idea to choose a model with an adjustable saddle and/or handlebar height. The saddle is – we have been reliably informed by our testers – very comfortable, and we liked the addition of a steering limiter, to prevent any over-steering or jack-knifing once your child has picked up speed.It’s built to last, so a great model to pass down through siblings or to friends, and the resale market for Woom is huge, if you decide to sell it once it’s been outgrown.
