My child is already using a bike with training wheels – can the Strider™ PREbike still be a useful learning tool for him/her?
Training wheels are very scary for children. The sensation of tipping from side-to-side keeps them from focusing on the task at hand, which is pedaling and steering. Learning to balance and steer on the Strider ™ PREbike makes the transition to the pedal bike much easier. Forget the training wheels; because once a child is confident on the Strider ™ PREbike, he/she will be able to transfer quickly to a pedal bike without training wheels.
