The seat post goes low enough to accommodate a rider with a 33cm inside leg measurement, which is average for a 2 to 3 year old, but the 5kg frame and long reach make this a bike ideal for taller (up to 98cm) and stronger children. This innovative aluminium-frame toddler balance bike converts to a small pedal bike and then a larger pedal bike.You need to know your child's inside leg (or inseam) measurement and you need to know the seat height of the balance bike.

Our child tester Brooke, 4, could see herself transitioning from balancing to pedalling on the LittleBig and said, "I can't wait to go to the forest to ride my bike and when I am older, I can use the pedals like the big kids do. The saddle drops low enough for a child with an inside leg measurement of 30cm, making it suitable for first riders, while the upper weight limit of 30kg means a child could ride it for years and at least until they're old enough to transition to a pedal bike. There are no standard sizes for balance bikes, so pretty much every make and model is different – even if they have exactly the same size wheels. I liked that you could move the seat up and down to your child’s height without having to use tools like previous bikes we have had. His mum Louise added, “You can tell it is from a good brand as it is sturdy, and it looks expensive too.
