The Best Balance Bikes For Toddlers, According to PEDs and Parents

Chillafish BMXie2 12" Kids' Balance Bike ($75)

While safety is of higher priority than style, the Chillafish BMXie2 12" Kids' Balance Bike proves you can have both. BMX-loving parents will love how this toy mimics classic dirt bikes, and the five colorways (orange, blue, pink, kiwi, and mint) give gift givers even more style options. The Chillafish also gets the basics right: the seat is adjustable without tools, and the 12-inch RubberSkin tires work on all terrains and don't require inflating.
