Toy Insider Mom Laurie Schacht shows of this summer’s must-have toys on CBS New York, The Couch with Carolina Bermudez and John Elliot.
Y Velo Junior Balance Bike, Stage 1: Toddler (Yvolution)
- This training bicycle helps toddlers learn how to steer and balance, while building the confidence they will need once they are ready for a more traditional bicycle with pedals.
- Children are seated so that their legs can reach the ground comfortably. To get going, they simply walk to ride and then, eventually, run and cruise.
- Children can easily and safely control when they stop by placing their legs firmly on the ground. A built-in steering limiter allows children to maintain control of how much they turn.
- The Y Velo Junior Balance Bike has a single front wheel and two rear wheels, offering extra stability for early riders. Its wide tires provide a steady ride across many terrains, taking kids from the sidewalk, to the boardwalk, to the soccer field.
- As a child develops balance and assurance, Y Velo Junior Balance Bike grows with them. This first bike features an adjustable seat and handle bars, and it also becomes a single wheel bike when one of the rear wheels is removed. As the child gets older, they can graduate to the larger Y Velo Balance Bike.
