Product Features

The biggest challenge your child faces with a ride on toy is getting on or off the first time. First have your child march in place. Then show him/her how to stand on one leg and entice him/her to do it. Once they are ready, place both his/her arms on each handle and hold the likeabike steady for him/her as he/she swings their leg over. As they gets better, encourage him/her to do it from both sides

Encourage your child to propel the bike forward with his/her feet. Once he/she seems to get the hang of it, you can encourage him/her to try lifting his feet in the air and balance while moving on the bicycle
Challenge him/her to balance for longer periods of time by counting the seconds that his/her feet are in the air. Once his/her balance improves he/she will be counting higher and higher!
To challenge him/her further, you can build obstacle courses for him/her to maneuver around to fine tune his/her steering skills.
