How to choose?
When choosing a balance bike among the Runbike models, there are a few tips to pay attention to.
- The optimal solution will be not just a purchase, but trying on the growth and fit of the child to the new transport... The proportions are different for everyone - what suits some children may turn out to be hopelessly little for others. If it is not possible to take the baby with you, it is worth measuring the length of the leg from the groin to the floor, it should become a guideline when selecting the minimum saddle height.
- The weight of the balance bike is no less important, because children try to show independence... They tend to lift their own vehicles onto curbs or stairs. There is only one rule here - children under 3 years old need to choose vehicles no heavier than 3 kg.
- The packaging also matters. A non-slip footrest, a bell, ergonomic handles with limiters on the sides are not just useful options, but what determines the child's safety while riding. Balance bikes can and should be quite functional to make life easier for parents. In this sense, Runbike adheres to the highest standards for sure. He is able to compete with the world's leading brands.
