Wood bikes first became popular in Europe and continue to be a popular alternative as a first bicycle for kids around the world. The kid-friendly design of a wooden balance bike says "I'm a toy" and encourages experimentation and play. Many children may take to a wooden balance bike more quickly than a metal contraption that's alien to them. Because children begin playing with wooden blocks, puzzles and other toys at an early age, many respond positively to a wooden balance bike. Consider this when making a decision on what type of balance bike is best for your little one.
