Looking for kids bikes and riding toys? You've come to the right place. Whether you’re after a first balance bike for an 18-month-old, a pedal bike for a five-year-old, or a scooter for a tween, you’ll find the full range of kids bikes and riding toys sorted by type below. Browse the lot or jump straight to what you need.
Pedal Bikes for Kids
Ready for two wheels and pedals? Our kids bikes range covers the sizes parents actually ask for. 12” wheels for little ones just off training wheels, 16” for kids building confidence, and 20” for older riders. You’ll find a girls bike or boys bike in colours your child will actually want to ride, plus training wheels for beginners still working on balance and steering. Brands like Progear feature across the range.
Balance Bikes for Toddlers
Before pedals, there’s the balance bike. No pedals, no training wheels, just feet on the ground. Toddlers scoot along and pick up the balance and steering skills that make moving to a pedal bike far easier down the track. Most kids can start on a toddler bike from around 18 months, depending on height. Our balance bikes range includes trusted names like Strider and Yvolution, with lightweight frames sized for small legs.
Trikes for Little Ones
Not quite ready for two wheels? A trike is a solid middle step. You’ll find push trikes with a parent handle for the youngest riders, and pedal trikes for toddlers ready to power themselves along. A tricycle for toddlers gives that stable three-wheel base while your child works on pedalling and steering at the same time. Browse the kids trikes range, including brands like SmarTrike and Chicco, to find the right fit.
Scooters for Every Age
Scooters suit a wide age range, from wobbly toddlers through to confident tweens. Three-wheel scooters give younger kids a stable base while they learn to lean and steer. Two-wheel kick scooters step things up once balance is sorted. The kids scooters range covers both, with Globber, Micro, Razor and Yvolution across the collection. Pick a size and wheel style that matches your child’s age and skill level.
Ride-On Toys & Electric Cars
For babies, toddlers and preschoolers not ready for a bike, ride-ons are a favourite. Push-along cars and animal ride-ons suit the youngest riders. Battery-powered electric cars and tractors give older toddlers a taste of driving their own set of wheels. The kids ride-on toys range includes Little Tikes, John Deere and Chicco, which is why these keep landing on birthday and Christmas lists.
Skateboards & Skates
For older kids and tweens ready for something different, skateboards and skates offer a fresh challenge. You’ll find beginner-friendly skateboards for kids learning to push and balance, plus skates for those who’d rather roll on four wheels under their feet. Whichever they choose, pair it with a helmet, knee pads and wrist guards before the first ride. Non-negotiable.
Which Type of Bike Is Right for Your Child?
Kids tend to follow a natural riding progression, and matching the right wheels to the right stage makes learning easier. Here’s a rough guide by age.
Around 1 to 3 years: Start with a push trike or a small balance bike. At this stage it’s about getting comfortable on wheels, learning to steer and building leg strength.
Around 3 to 5 years: A pedal trike, a balance bike, or a first pedal bike with training wheels all work well. Kids in this bracket are usually ready to start pedalling, and plenty move from a balance bike straight to pedals without needing training wheels at all.
Around 5 years and older: Most kids are ready for a proper pedal bike, and scooters become a great everyday option for the park, the school run or the footpath. Whatever stage your child is at, pair every ride with the right safety gear.
Browse kids helmets and accessories and match a helmet to your child’s head size before that first ride.
