So, who makes the smallest balance bike, with the lowest saddle with proper pneumatic tyres?

It may still be a stretch for a kid that age, but I doubt that you'd find anything smaller.

HotWalk is nails too, I rode it down Carn Ingli .. well a fair old way till I couldn't correct the wobble anymore and went in a hedge.

I was very, very drunk at the time.

It's on to no. 2 son and no sign of breaking, only fixed one puncture so far too.

I've ridden mine around the house.. kind of.. bit small, I think stunt pegs would help.

Jo Burt rode our Rothan once... he looked very stupid.

I stillthink the Rothan is likely to be one of the smallest. They list minimum inside leg as 30cm, although son no 2 is perching on it and he's a long way off that yet.

Can'r find a pic of one with the seat right down but have a look and you'll see that the seat goes lower than the height of the wheel:

I didn't have a balance bike for my oldest child and really wish that I had. We got my daugther a smart gear balance bike. However, I found a great metal Balance Bike at this website and my youngest son loves it. I think that balance bikes are the quickest way to get young children active and involved with family!

ridgeback scoot here...
a vey succesful transition from this to a ridgeback pedal bike as per my video below...

all in an afternoon and the balance gained from the balance bike certainly helped.
