One of the important duties you undertake as a parent, is teaching your children how to ride bicycles. Although training wheels are the most common means of teaching kids to ride a bike, they simply transform an unstable bicycle into a stable quadricyle, not requiring any balancing effort from your child & also impeding the natural upright sense of "independent balance", a critical skill necessary before the safe transition to a two-wheel pedal bike.
Wooden Balance bikes don't have pedals or stabilizers, so your child can focus on balancing the bike naturally with their feet walking on the ground, whilst in an seated position. As confidence develops, your child will begin to run forward lifting both feet to glide, occasionally dabbing a foot to the floor when the bike leans over. This "dabbing" action will be a "live saver" in the future when your kid gets into trouble at high speed on a pedal bike, because your child's past experience on the balance bike has "hard wired" in the instinctive reaction of using the leg to correct dangerous tips.
Soon, your child will have mastered the coordination of balancing, steering & smiling all at once, without the complications of pedals & brakes.
