Both Ben and Chloe have recently got new bikes – Ben as a result of hard saving and Chlo for her birthday. Of course Amy is desperate to be like her older siblings and wants a bike too!
Having seen Ben struggle to make the transition from stabilisers to independent cycling, we have been keen to avoid stabilisers with the girls. We bought Chlo a balance bike for her 3rd birthday but soon had to put it in the loft while we had building work done. It remains unused but I think it’s probably getting on for being the right size for Amy.
With impeccable timing I was contacted by Toddlebike who were keen for Amy to try out this lightweight, stable ride on. The Toddlebike2 is designed for ages 18 to 36 months and with Amy getting towards the upper end of the age range along with being quite tall, I was sure how suitable Toddlebike2 would be for us but Jo from Toddlebike assured me that she would be fine and that lots of older children continue to enjoy whizzing around on their Toddlebikes! (This was quickly proven when Ben decided he’d quite like to have a ride around the house too!)
When the bike was delivered I was stunned by how small and light the parcel was, even more so when I opened it up to find a ready-to-ride bike. Amy hopped straight on and whizzed around the living room – hurrah for laminate flooring!
Toddlebike2 is a great starting point to riding a bike, pitching itself as the step before a 2 wheeled balance bike. The Toddlebike2 benefits from the additional stability that 4 narrow in-line wheels offers whilst allowing your child to develop all the skills they need to move onto a balance bike. and eventually a fully fledged pedal bike!
Amy didn’t have any problems getting going on her Toddlebike2, which I think is in part due to the fact she’s getting on towards being three now so she’s fairly stable and has had lots of practice with propelling herself on different ride-ons. Of course not all children will get on with their Toddlebike straight away and may take a while to master the skills of balancing and turning the handles.
With large wheels and made from hard-wearing plastic, the Toddlebike2 is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use – giving your toddler as much opportunity as possible to practice. The small sizing of the bike means it’s easy to store and carry if you’ve taken it out only to find your little one gets fed to of riding – we’ve all been there!
Over all I think the Toddlebike2 is a great little first bike, and priced at less than £25 represents great value – particularly if you buy it for an 18 month old rather than a 33 month old like Amy who will no doubt out grow it reasonably soon.

I am looking forward to going to Cornwall for five days with my family, and being off work and spending quality time with my kiddies 🙂
some sun and getting in the garden
Ice cream!
We have sorted out some days out, and have family coming down from up North, so will have lots to catch up with.
My little one has the older style ToddleBike and absolutely loves it! We’d love to try the newer one though, and ours is looking a bit old and worn out now. We’re very much looking forward to lots of camping trips! And splashing in the sea!
Going on holiday
I’m looking forward to watching my little girls playing with each other and all the lovely walks and picnics we will have as a family.
I’m most looking forward to some time of work to relax with my family.
Outdoor activities and adventure hopefully on the sunshine with picnics too
It does look great and being lightweight is definitely a plus, as yes, we’ve all ended up carrying them about!
It looks so lovely and your little one seems to enjoy! I will enter and keep it for my little one later on. #TriedTested
We love our toddle bikes, they are great for tots and last for ever even being put through their paces at Coombe Mill, we have a toddle bike fleet growing!
this looks fab. I look forward to the not having to rush around for school on a morning haha 😉 #triedtested
We’ve never heard of Toddlebikes and made the transition to a bigger balance bike… Great price though! #TriedTested
The bike looks great – and from a practical point of view, easy to clean! Wish I had one of these when mine were that age #timeflies!
We’ve had Indiana’s since just before she turned 2, and it’s still used daily now (she’s the same age as your Amy!) I’m sure it won’t be long before her little brother is whizzing along on it too xx
I’m looking forward to going back to Porthmadog this afternoon!
Plenty of laughter and fun times with my little family 🙂 x
The toddler bike looks fab! Ideal for my little one #TriedTested
Both my kids have balance bikes as their first bike and it’s really great, easier transition to proper bike with pedals. This one looks fab and cute… I think your little girl enjoyed riding on it too which is the main thing. Great Review
Love the look of the Toddlebike – my youngest would love this! We’re looking forward to lots of days out exploring over the summer 🙂
I love the look of this. I am looking forward to lots of family time x
Sunshine?? Optimistic!
We look forward to some family time – the odd BBQ and some walks! #Triedtested
Love the toddler bike! This would suit my 6 month old in a few months time!
I’m looking forward to relaxing, lots of snuggles with my baby girl and watching some of the Olympics xx
#TriedTested
our first family holiday abroad
What a cool toddler bike and I love the fact it isn’t bulky or heavy-looking so you could sling it in the boot and take it out with you! 🙂
#TriedTested
I’m enjoying not being at work!
Just some sun – please!
Bikes are one of the things my boys have missed out on, but we hope to catch up on that once son1 has had his operation. Would have been good if we had tried something like this when they were younger, as now they will have to start from scratch #Triedtested
I haven’t seen these before, it looks a great first bike. That is an amazing price too, you don’t mind paying that x
Definitely – the price point is really attractive.
That is really good value and what a bonus that it’s lightweight. Some of my ‘finer’ mummy moments have been while out dog walking with my girls, wearing one of them in a sling while the other rode on her homemade (and very heavy) balance bike. Inevitably she gets tired and I end up carrying it. Joy! #triedtested
What a lovely looking little ride on, sounds great xx
What a great idea. My eldest is def to big for it even though she is 4- she looks 6 and struggles with her bike. What a great price too.
These look fab, my three are all too old for them now, but they look like lots of fun.
This looks amazing!!! Bubba is turning 2 in September so might take him to try one of these out to see how he likes it 🙂
#triedtested
Looks like great fun. Wee lad just figured out his indoor ride on, so this will be perfect for outdoors this summer #triedtested
I love the look of this, it looks quite retro. Great review and giveaway x #triedtested
Amy looks like she’s having fun 🙂
#triedtested
Taking my nephews camping for the first time.
I’ve never heard of these bikes but it looks amazing! my boy is nearly 3 but he is small so I reckon he could get a good few months use out of one of these. Great review xx
I haven’t seen these before but they look fantastic, we are getting to the stage where all we want to do is get on things to ride them and I bet my 16 month old would have a field day. As would his nearly 4 year old brother who takes everything off his little brother….
This is a great introduction to bike riding. There was nothing like this when my daughter was small, I’m convinced it would have made the process of learning to ride without stabilisers so much quicker!
I’m most looking forward to camping
Oh what an awesome ridealong/bike! Love the colours and simple, retro look xx
I’m most looking forward to my new nephew arriving over the summer.
The sun eventually coming out!
These are an ideal first bike, would be perfect for Eliza! Will enter your giveaway now! #TriedTested
Sunshine and picnics
Lots of BBQs and Beach Trips!
I’m looking forward to ice-creams, a trip to the zoo and just enjoying the fresh air! These bikes look fantastic, perfect for my nearly two year old! xx
I haven’t heard of this brand before – looks like a sturdy little thing! #TriedTested
We’ve had our holiday, but a bit more sunshine would be great!
The sun and spending time ith the kids
This is such good value! Amy looks like she’s really enjoying it. We have a balance bike already otherwise I would definitely consider this. Thanks for hosting #TriedTested.
This looks like lots of fun 🙂 I’m not sure if my 2yr old would be too young yet but I might look into one for Xmas.

My little one is 19 months, this would be perfect!
I like your way of thinking – the question suggests we still have lots of Summer still to come? Here’s hoping! We’re looking forward to visiting Nanny & Grandad in the last few weeks of the school holidays and enjoying their lovely garden as we live in a flat ourselves 😉
our little Grandson staying with us, love it!!

Our baby being born 🙂
He loves being independent and walking along wherever he can. So it is nice he has the Toddlebike2 to use as an alternative to walking. He has really enjoyed testing it out and he always gives me the most checkiest grin when he is on it. He is ever so proud of himself and it is lovely to see.
