The Lena Toddlebike is a perfect beginners 'scooter' (or pre-balance bike) for when a child has begun walking (usually around 18months, but it can be earlier) and has an inside leg measurement of 20cm.

The Toddlebike features two wheels at the rear, making it more stable than a balance bike if your child isn't at that stage yet, and requires more stability.

The geometry is narrower than a traditional three-wheel trike, which enables your child to learn the balance skills needed to progress quickly onto a balance bike when they are ready.

It can be used inside and outside the house and is REALLY lightweight (less than 1kg).

The Kidvelo Rookie 14 is a great choice balance bike for children aged about 3 years and over.  Especially if you know they're going to be learning to pedal at some stage, and may be tempted to skip the balance bike stage and get them straight onto a pedal bike (our advice - DON'T!)

This is where the Rookie 14 is such a great option - it starts in balance bike mode and you can add pedals when your child is ready.

Because the Rookie 14 designed to work effortlessly in either balance bike or pedal bike mode the switching across is simple. So if the time isn't quite right you can go back again with minimal hassle.

We've reviewed the Kidvelo Rookie 12 and were really impressed with the quality and styling of this smaller balance bike.

The Kidvelo Rookie 18 is a great bike for slightly older children who may not have learnt to ride yet and will likely start pedalling soon.

It is aimed at ages 5 to 8 years old and starts off as a large balance bike and then if and when your child is ready to try out pedals the Rookie 18 then easily converts to a pedal bike, with a simple-to-fit pedal conversion kit. So you essentially get 2 bikes for the price of one.

You can convert easily if your child needs to try pedals for a short time and then revert back to a balance bike for a while longer. It's designed to work effortlessly in either balance bike or pedal bike mode.

The Rookie 18 balance-to-pedal bike is also a popular choice for children with additional needs who may want to learn their balance using the balance bike mode and then have the opportunity to progress to using pedals.

We've reviewed the Kidvelo Rookie 12, which was the first bike in their range, and were very impressed.

The Kidvelo Rookie 18 is a popular balance bike for older children (aged 5-8 years old) starting to cycle, or children with additional needs.

It's a great choice if you know they're going to be learning to pedal at some stage, and may be tempted to skip the balance bike stage and get them straight onto a pedal bike (our advice - DON'T!)

The Rookie 18 starts in balance bike mode and comes with a conversion kit so you have the option of adding pedals when your child is ready - if you're not sure, you can take our quiz "Is my child ready to pedal?"

The conversion kit is very easy to use, so if your child decides to try pedalling by isn't quite ready, then you can easily convert back to the balance bike mode. The Rookie 18 balance bike allows young riders not to miss out on the crucial step of learning to ride a bike - learning to balance!

The Kidvelo Rookie 14 is a great choice of bike if you're not sure whether your child is quite ready to start pedalling yet. 

Whilst the Rookie 14 is a starter pedal bike in it's own right, you can also remove the entire pedal / chain mechanism and quickly convert it into a balance bike.

So, you're essentially getting two bikes for the price of one, saving you the cost of buying a 14" wheel balance bike to get your child ready to pedal.

We also think this will be a good choice for families with younger siblings coming along behind, as you don't know whether that child is going to need a pedal bike or a balance bike.

Our reviewer has put the smaller Rookie 12 through it's paces and were very impressed with the quality of the bike and the design features.

The Kidvelo Rookie 18 is a popular kids bike for older children aged 5 - 8 years old. Although it is a starter pedal bike in its own right, it does come with a conversion kit to remove the pedals for kids who may want the option to convert to a balance bike if they're just starting out and need to practice balancing.

The Rookie 18 is also a great choice for children with additional needs who may want to practice balancing before learning to ride with the pedals. So buying the Rookie 18, you're essentially getting two bikes, for the price of one.

It is also a great option for families with more than one child, or a younger sibling coming along behind, as they may be at different stages and therefore benefit from either the balance mode, or the pedal mode.

The Kidvelo Rookie 14 is a great choice if your child is likely to want to start pedalling at some point soon.  The Rookie 14 starts out as a balance bike but comes with a simple-to-fit pedal conversion kit, meaning you get two bikes for the price of one.

If you decide to try your child with pedals and they're not quite ready you can quickly revert to the balance bike for a while longer.

The Rookie 14 has been designed with the learning to ride phase in mind, with an upright riding position, lightweight frame and child sized components.

The YOMO 16 is a great choice bike if you're looking for something a little bit different for your child.  The brand only launched in winter 2023, so there's not many of these bikes around, so they're bound to get people talking.

YOMO is the brainchild of a dad of two who has worked for years in the kids bike industry, which you can tell from the attention to detail on the specification.

We've been sent a larger geared bike to review and we've been very impressed, and reckon this bike will get your child smiling and pedalling in no time!

They're also doing a stylish range of kids cycle helmets with a choice of both matt and glossy finish.

If your child is ready for their first geared bike for your child you can't go wrong with the new YOMO 20.   This bike was only released in winter 2023, so is also great if you like to be a bit different to the crowd, but still want the quality associated with other more established premium kids bike brands.

We've been sent the YOMO 20 to review and not only were we really impressed with the specification and build quality, our reviewer is really enjoying the riding experience too, which at the end of the day is the most important thing.

YOMO also have a range of stylish kids bike helmets, with leather chin pad and a no-pinch magnetic fastener.

The Rockrider ST 900 is the top specification mountain bike in BTwin's 20" wheel mountain bike range.

With a lightweight aluminium frame, front suspension, 6 speeds and grippy tyres this is a great value bike for introducing your child to the joys of mountain biking.

The bike is unusual in that it has a front disk brake and a rear V-brake.  The disc brake will help give some additional stopping power in the wet, and the V-brake helps to keep the price down.

The brake levers are designed for small hands (and the saddle is moulded for little bottoms).  It's also supplied with a front and rear LED light.
