Encouraging bike and scooter

My little girl is the same!! She just loves to run 😂. Also wondering how we can get her into her bike so she’s not running off every time we’re out 🙈

Same!!

Yes my girl had a scooter for her 2nd birthday and absolutely loves it

Mine boy wasn't interested at first. Dropped it for a bit and then tried again. Scooter he doesn't seem to be interested in as much but we started taking the bike on walks and he got more interested in it. Then when he saw other kids on bikes he started getting more into it and now he loves it.

We just joined a local balance bike class and as @Laurie has said - doing the same thing with your peers helped our little one. She say she is unstoppable on that bike!

I've tried taking it to the park with us, as other are on theirs but she just prefers to walk round. Wondering if a pedal bike might encourage her more

My daughter also not interested in a scooter or a bike. She is more tentative on the physical stuff (doesn’t like high slides etc), so I think she just feels unsafe/unsteady. We just keep trying with it! The bike class sounds like a good idea x

@Gem we do the one with Fox Cycling. Pretty sure they have branches across UK and there are other companies doing the balance bike classes. Again , these classes teach them not just gliding but also teach safety around cycling. Hard concept for young kids but there are activities surrounding a balance bike... agility, flexibility, navigating safety cones, picking rings using one hand whilst balancing at the same time, balancing on exercise stones ...they pack a lot in that 45 minute session. We even rented out our balance bike and ended up practicing during summer. It is well worth it. Also, we thought a pedal bike would be easier to do first but as we suspected and what was confirmed by the balance bike instructor - all kids start pedalling backwards and it is not the right approach... hence the reason why we started the classes
