This is the true SDer way to teach your kids to bike -- no need to buy two separate bikes. They will only use the balance bike for up to 2 months at the most. So just buy them a regular pedal bike that will fit them in two months, remove the pedals, lower the seat all the way, and you have a balance bike. Once they have that mastered in a month or two, add the pedals, put the seat at the proper level and you're all set!
BTW this concept of a balance bike works way better than training wheels to teach kids to bike. I taught 3 kids how to bike this way at age 3-4 (removing the pedals and lowering the seat to begin with) and they learn very quickly.
Our daughter would have been far too small for a bike without pedal at 19 months when she started using a balance bike.
She's now getting the hang of Cleary Gecko which is a 12 inch bike with standover height of 15 inches. It's the smallest pedal bike they make and it's still a bit too large for her even though she's 36 inches tall and 25 months old. She'll probably be riding her bike at 26 or 27 months.
Balance bikes without pedals are great for two year olds since the standover height on them is far smaller than pedal bikes.

I once removed the pedals on a regular bike, and my daughter got her foot stuck in the metal stick that's rotating alone... So it's better to use the balance bike for safety purpose
Thanks bunches...upcoming neighbor children birthday coming up...Great gift. Even bought Fold 2 Go® Trike for a great deal. (they have two girls and the age of bikes are perfect).

It depends on the kid mine started using balance bikes at 18 months or so and they really too small for most pedal bikes at that age, now my son is almost 4 and can ride pretty well but my 2 year old daughter can quite touch the ground on her pedal bike yet
Thank you OP! I have been looking at balance bikes for our soon to be 3 year old. A few used on Craigslist in decent condition, but this price is even better for brand new.
