My child is already using a pedal bike with training wheels-can the Strider 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, 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 the child is confident on the Strider, he/she will be able to transfer quickly to a pedal bike without training wheels.
