    HAPE SHOCK-ABSORBING BALANCE BIKE - We are a 4 children family, ranging between 8 years and 21 months old. All of our children have used this balance bike! Our 4 year old son has autism, and has recently shown an interest in bikes (which was super exciting for us!) Well the hape shock absorbing balance bike is perfect for him! After a very quick and easy set up, our son jumped on! He is a very tall 4 year old, and so great that this balance bike fit him comfortably. Another thing we really love about this is the seat has grooves for fingers, so we have been supporting the bike as our son learns to use it. We love that it's promoting balance skills, growing his confidence, and promoting play! Our 21 month old also is very very keen on the bike. It's a very good feature that the balance bike can easily be adjusted. We adjusted the seat and the handle bars, and then our toddler was also able to ride the Hape balance bike. This makes a good investment! The bike is light, it's easy for the kids to climb on and off, and they are learning how to balance and steer. The puncture proof tires are a great feature. It promotes play, and fun!

    This is not your stock standard ride-on scooter! A sure conversation starter, this Vespa-lookalike gets plenty of attention every time we take it outside. The Tiffany-blue coloured vintage design is even cooler in person, with all the kids on the block wanting to give it a go. The Ambosstoys Primo Ride-On Scooter has a sturdy metal body with a beautiful faux leather seat. Assembly was quick and easy with all the required tools supplied in the box. Although the recommended age is from 1 to 5, my almost-2-year-old is still too short to self-propel. She loves sitting on it though, with her feet comfortably on the floorboard, while she is pushed around. She can easily steer it herself too. With a full metal body, the scooter is bit on the heavy side, but that lends to a more stable ride and she can get on and off without tipping it over. The weight does however mean it will be uncomfortable to carry to and from the park. The back wheels are located under the seat in the covered part of the scooter body. In that way, when kids scoot themselves, their legs can move freely alongside the scooter without getting their heels caught in the wheels, as is the issue with many of types of ride-on scooter designs. My daughter loves her scooter! We hide it, otherwise she wants to go outside and ride every time she sees it. This is a well-made and durable product that will last for many years until she graduates to a balance bike.

    We were chosen to review the Hape Off Road Balance Bike for our 3 year old. The kit was easy to assemble in less than 15 minutes with tiny hands to help and the overall quality is fantastic, it’s made to last! I love that the wheels don’t require pumping up and won’t go flat as they’re “puncture proof”. I can be assured as he takes the dirt tracks at our local park or the gravel driveway at his grandmas farm the fun won’t end early with a flat tyre. We found the overall size of the bike is well suited to our sons current height (104cm), with the bonus of the bike being light enough for him to pick up and get on himself confidently to ride. With parent supervision and a helmet on of course. I highly rate the suspension feature as it works perfectly. He had little to no hesitation taking the bumpy dirt track as the suspension took in most of the bumps making it a smooth ride allowing him to not only keep his balance but also navigate steering without a fall. His overall confidence in riding and balance has improved and we have this bike to thank for that - The design of the suspension and steering limiter has made a positive difference. He loves going to the bike park almost daily to show off his cool wheels! 5 out of 5 starts from us!!
