When I was a child we spent every hour of light we had outdoors, usually riding bikes. I am always looking for ways to get my kids out and staying active. I had no idea how popular scooters had become though since then. Dane had a blast his first time at a birthday party playing on a friends scooter. Of course we bought him one for Christmas last year. Little did I know I should have gotten two so Declan could have his own. The only problem is he isn't quite ready for a big boy scooter or even big boy bikes.
I was super pumped when I first heard about YBike and the products they make for children! "All YBike products have been engineered with safety in mind and designed to help develop balance, co-ordination and self confidence in young kids."
So many times you find the old school versions of a bike, tricycle, or scooter. Sure they have modern designs but they are the same old concept. Not YBike! They realize that children learn differently. They need to build a certain level of self confidence in order to properly use these everyday toys. What I really love is that I feel like this is a company that knows me and my needs. I have a little one who wants to do everything his big brother does. Regardless of if he can or can't, he's going to do it!
Because we are in what seems a scooter phase, we picked the YBike Glider. This is a scooter designed for children aged 2-5 with two front wheels to help with balance. Declan can learn to steer correctly by leaning the direction he wants to go instead of having to coordinate pushing and turning a handle bar. He can also stop easily by putting his foot on the back wheel cover which works as a break. I wish I could truly show the expression on his face when he first tried it as I missed it in photograph. He can now follow around Dane whether its outside or through the house without me quite as worried about his safety!
Cost: $79.99 YBike Glider
Available to purchase: YBike
Recommendation: These are amazing toys! I love the ideas that they have come up with and as I said in the review I feel like they made this specifically for my family. They are a little expensive for a 2 year old but honestly worth the purchase when you look at safety and how it works with them and not against their size. The bikes are the same which I feel like we will be looking into these for Christmas this year!

Would love for my grandson to try the yBike original! He would love the yBike glider, too! My grandson loves the color green so that's probably what I'd choose for the original!

Would love to try the YBike Extreme
I actually love your blog, it's my first time here, I LOVE the shamrocks - My blog is Irish Italian Blessings so I love all things Irish. I entered a few other giveaways, STep 2 Kitchen which is fancier than my actual kitchen, and the NEto Robotic Vaccuum.
