Toddler Bikes: How Do They Work?

A video is worth a thousand words, right? :) Whenever I've gone anywhere with a Boot Scoot Bike, the same questions are asked: "where are the pedals?," "how does it work?," & "how old can a child start riding?". Here's the answers & why I LOVE our Boot Scoot Bikes.
  1. Boot Scoot Bikes have no pedals
  2. Kids first learn to ride by walking the bike, then they start gaining confidence with balancing & lift up their feet to coast. After they're able to balance really successfully, they are able ride all over & will never need to use training wheels once they transition to a bike with pedals.
  3. Generally, you gauge your child's readiness by their inseam (at least 14"), but most kids are able to start around their 2nd birthday.
My son is now 3 & he's been riding his Boot Scoot Bike for over 6 months. The very first day we got his bike, he enjoyed walking with it. It had been a big fight to get him to enjoy his tricycle & other 3 wheel bikes, but he loved his Boot Scoot Bike immediately. And, he continues to love it now. I'm amazed at how the thrill hasn't worn off; if anything, he's even more excited to ride it now. I love what great exercise he gets whenever we're outside & he can ride his Boot Scoot Bike. He can spend great lengths of time riding & riding & riding. It's been a blast to watch.

Katie, the haute mama behind Boot Scoot Bikes, has two little boys & is pregnant with their third child. When she initially started her company, she only manufactured green & blue bikes. But, after hearing time & again that she should make them in pink, she is now also offering pink. Moms of girls know how important a pink option is, right? We're so excited to offer Boot Scoot Bikes at CreatedByMom.com! Thanks, Katie! xoxo
