About Halfords Balance Bikes

Halfords balance bikes are available in a choice of materials, with a steel frame balance bike being the most popular option. The best balance bike for your child is one they feel most comfortable on, but having a lightweight frame that your child can manoeuvre with ease is important, especially as your child progresses to running and gliding with their feet off the ground.

We have a great range of the best balance bikes from many of the top brands. Our range features the latest styles and designs from the likes of Apollo, Disney, Carrera, Kiddimoto, My Buddy Wheels and more. We also stock the exclusive range of Wiggins kid's balance bikes, ideal for any young ambitious cyclist.

Balance bike FAQs

Are balance bikes better than stabilisers?

For many kids, balance bikes make learning to cycle easier and more enjoyable. Since they teach balance right from the start, most children skip the wobbly stabiliser phase and can move to pedal bikes with more confidence.

Can you add pedals to balance bikes?

Not all balance bikes are built for pedals, but a few models are adaptable. If this is an important feature for you, Halfords has some great balance bikes that can be converted as your child grows.
