🚲 Balance bikes in Junior Infants

Balance bikes are great for Junior Infant boys because they help children build the core skills needed for cycling in a way that feels natural and fun. The biggest advantage is that children learn to balance on two wheels without relying on stabilisers .Children control speed with their feet and feel more secure than on a bike with pedals.
They can stop instantly, which reduces fear and boosts confidence. Using balance bikes improves gross motor skills, coordination, and core strength and makes learning to cycle easier and faster and when they eventually switch to a pedal bike, they usually don’t need stabilisers. Riding is fun and encourages active play, which supports healthy habits. Boys in this age group often enjoy speed and movement—balance bikes let them safely explore that.
