No Training Wheels, No Problem! From balance bike to pedal bike for the first time.

Five-year-old Fiona shows how easy it is to transition from a balance bike/running bike to a pedal bike. We just bought this bike for her yesterday, cane home, and immediately removed the training wheels. With NO prior experience riding a pedal bike, and no training from us, she jumps on and rides with ease the VERY FIRST TIME. Elijah (3) is already coasting and balancing well on his Strider bike, so he will be able to easily transition to a pedal bike any time he wants. We spent zero time "training" them, them had no falls, crashes, no tears were shed, they simply got to play with their balance bike and learn on their own until they figured it out. They learned at their own pace, no stress, no pressure, no training wheels, NO PROBLEM!
