If you’ve got a toddler with endless energy, the Strider 12 Sport Balance Bike is about to become your favorite parenting purchase. My two-year-old lives on this balance bike for kids—it’s safe, sturdy, and helping her gain real confidence before moving up to pedals.
Even better? It’ll only be 26% off for Prime Big Deal Days, Oct. 7–8. That means it’s just $96!
The Strider 12 Sport is the gold standard for toddler balance bikes, and for good reason. Designed for children 1-4 years old, it skips the training wheels and helps little riders master balance and coordination from the start. My daughter has been cruising on hers for months, and it’s incredible how much her confidence and coordination have grown. She zips around with ease, stops safely, and even “races” the neighborhood kids with no tears and very few tumbles.
One of my favorite features of this kid’s sport bike is its adjustable design. The seat and handlebars can be raised or lowered without tools, so it grows with your child (a huge plus when you’re not ready to buy a new bike every year). It’s also super lightweight, which means your toddler can pick it up or push it themselves. That’s a win for independence and for parents who end up carrying it halfway home.
Plus, the no-pedal design encourages balance, steering and coordination—all essential skills kids need before tackling a big-kid bike. Once they get the hang of gliding, the transition to pedals feels natural and easy. Plus, the Strider’s puncture-proof tires and durable frame hold up to any adventure, from park trails to backyard driveways.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to invest in a balance bike, this Prime Big Deal Days sale is it. They make a great gift for the holidays!
