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