Beginning as a low, stable three-wheel ride-on, it gives younger children the support they need to practise walking, steering and pushing themselves along. When they are ready for the next stage, the same bike converts into a two-wheel balance bike to develop the balance and confidence needed before progressing to pedals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned and developed in the Netherlands by Co\u0026amp;Co, TRYBIKE combines a strong steel frame with thoughtful adjustability, pneumatic tyres and clever engineering details that allow the fit and riding position to change as a child grows.
