It can be really tempting to add stabilisers to a child's bike. There are pros and cons and, for some children, a bike with stabilisers can enable them to experience the joy of riding that a bike without a pair wouldn't allow.
On the other hand, stabilisers mean that the bike handles differently from a normal bike, particularly when turning, so once they're removed, your child needs to learn balance skills and how a non-stabilised bike handles. Modern thinking is that it's better to start off with a balance bike so they can get the bike's handling dialled, then add pedalling. You can find balance bikes for older kids, not just infants.
We've looked in-depth at the balance bike or stabilisers question, to help you decide on what's best for your child.
