Chicco Red Bullet Balance Bike Review
Not too long ago, one of my neighbors paid another one of my neighbors (teenager) to teach his son how to ride his bike.Ā He learned in about 10 minutes, so it was pretty much a quick payday for the teenager!Ā However, we still have several little ones in the neighborhood to teach to ride a bike, and we’ll either have to do it ourselves or go broke fairly quickly.
One of the products that we’ve found is a great help at a really early age is the Chicco Red Bullet Balance Bike to help them learn how to balance and ride a bike when they’re a little older.Ā This is a GREAT gift to add to your Christmas list!
This is definitely something we could have used when Braxton and Hawk were a little smaller (Hawk could probably still use it with his short legs!).Ā It’s rated for kiddos 3 and up, so we didn’t really think that Jett would know what to do when we pulled it out and put it together.Ā He seemed really eager to get on it, because he’s seen his brothers get on their bikes.
The first time we put him on it, he kept looking for the pedals.Ā He was putting his feet up on the frame several times.Ā It really was cute, and because he’s not even 2 years old, yet, I didn’t really expect him to understand when I tried to tell him how to use it!Ā He had his helmet on, he was on the bike, I was ready with my camera, and for some reason, Andy let go of him at the exact time he put his feet up on the frame, and he fell over!Ā I didn’t even get a picture!
Now, he and the kidlets in the neighborhood like getting on it because it’s new and shiny and the only one of it’s kind in the neighborhood.Ā I like it because Jett is at the age where everything is powered by his feet Flintstone style anyway, so we don’t have to worry about teaching him how to use pedals at the same time as everything else.Ā It’s really great for learning the foundation of riding a bike, and that’s balance.
Even though it’s technically Fall, we still have a couple of Summer months left in Texas, and the kiddos all enjoy playing in the street together, and I love that Jett can ride his “bike” now, like one of the big boys!

My daughter does not know how to ride yet. But she watches her older brother and all his friends. You can see the envy in her eyes. She so badly wants to learn. This would be a great starting point for her. Thanks for the chance!
I believe I was 3 or 4 when I learned to ride a bike. I would have to ask my parents! Lol
My daughter doesn’t know how to ride a bike yet, but I think this will be a perfect way for her to learn what she needs to do.
not yet. She is old enough to learn so I think this would be a great next step for her
Thats really cool! There aren’t pedals so that they can put their feet down to learn balance first. Thats great! My kids dont know how to ride a bike yet, but this will help them definitely learn balance first!
Thank you!
I think I was about 4 before I started to ride a bike. I think that is when my parents could afford a bike for me! š THanks
My oldest son had a balance bike and was riding a “real” bike by the age of two. I know they work great!
I learned to ride a bike when I was 4
I was about 6 or 7 when I got my first bike. I like that they can push with their feet. This would be great for my three old granddaughter
My little ones do not know how to ride a bike and I think this would be a great start to learning.
I never learned to ride a bike which is why I believe it is something my kids must do.
This would be for my granddaugher
my kids can ride a bike,but my little cousin who just turned 1 is the cutest ,sweetest little girl and my daughter just loves her.i would love to get this for her so my daughter can teach her how to ride
no my little one does not, I think it would help because he always tries to put his feet down and does not know how to peddle yet
I was a ate bloomer didn’t learn to ride til 6 or 7 better late than never š
sassa frass has yet to learn how to ride
I have twin grandsons that are 3 and don’t know how to ride. This would be great for them.
I was probably 7 when I learned to ride a bike.
my niece doesn’t know how to ride a bike yet, but I think this would help because she can learn the basic idea of balance, etc. before using pedals
I learned to ride a bike when I was probably about seven? I was younger.
He doesn’t know how to ride a bike yet, but this would be a great help to prepare him for when he does.
No, not yet. I think this will be great to help her learn to balance.
I’m not sure how old I was, maybe 8? I do remember that my dad took the training wheels off my Huffy and said he’d give me a dollar to ride without them and I took right off…lol.
My nephew does not know how to ride a bike. I think balance bikes are such a great way to teach them since balancing is the part that is the hardest to learn.
my 3 year old can’t ride a bike yet but i know he wants to
Elijah wants to learn how to ride a bike. I saw a friend’s little boy using a balance bike and thought it was the coolest thing. He’s 2 years old and was coasting on it like a pro!
I have no idea how old I was! Pretty young…
My son is just learning how to ride a bike. I learned when I was about 5 or so!
Mine know how but my niece is still learning
She is 5 and no, does not know how to ride a bike just yet. We’ve tried several times to get her interested, but she struggles A LOT with having the strength push the pedals. I think she’d really enjoy the no pedals aspect of this!
I was around 4 years old when I learned to ride a bike! š
My two year old doesn’t yet know how to ride a bike. This would be great for him.
Not yet, I think it would give her the confidence she needs.
Thanks for the chance.

My three girls do not know how to ride a bike. I think balance bikes are a great idea it gives kids confidence one they get on a real bike
Not yet but I think this would give him confidence.
My grandson is scared of his bike even with the training wheels. I think this bike will help him get over his fear because he is balanced instead of wobbling.
My oldest son is four and he still rides with training wheels because he is afraid of falling and I want him to do it when he is ready , I believe this would really help him.
I learned to ride a bike when I was eight.
He doesn’t. Only rides with training wheels, so far.
I was 6 year old when I learned to ride a bike. Rode down at the top of a hill on our dirt road!
No mine doesn’t, but my son is not very coordinated so I think this would really help him learn balance!
The lightweight frame would be perfect for my daughter as she would soon be learning to ride!
no he doesn’t know how to ride a bike yet. If he just concentrates on pedaling and not balance he’ll learn sooner
5 years old
5 years old when i learned
Not yet but I know this would help!
No, my little one cannot ride a bike yet. I’ve been looking into getting a balance bike and I’m hoping this will encourage her to gain confidence as she learns to balance while riding it.
Neither my son or daughter can ride on two wheels yet and I think this bike would be a great way to start to learn. Since it’s fairly low to the ground, they wouldn’t be as concerned about falling and they would feel more in control with the ability to easily put their feet on the ground without the pedals.
I think this would help my nephew learn to ride a bike because he’s never ridden anything without training wheels.
The girl I watch has developmental delays so she doesn’t know how to ride a bike yet. This would help because it would help her learn to focus on the balance aspect first instead of trying to teach pedaling and balance at the same time!
I was 8 when I learned how to ride a bike with no training wheels and 5 with the training wheels!
My older children can ride a bike but my youngest son hasn’t learned yet.
I think that the balance bike will teach coordination, balance and confidence before beginning to try on a bike with pedals.

I was seven when I learned to ride without training wheels.

my older granddaughter can ride, but the new one is too young, and hopefully, this bike will be a great help in teaching her balance, coordination, and good gross motor skills
I was 6 when i learned to ride a bike
My daughter doesn’t know how to ride yet, she’s scared because she thinks she’ll fall.
I learned to ride on Easter when I was 4
Not yet and this can help him balance and learn better
My Little Nephew Gavin would Love a Bike
My daughter can ride with training wheels, but this bike will show her how to balance and the concept of riding a bike

No my 5 year old doesn’t know how to ride a bike
My daughter is just now trying to learn how to ride. This bike would help her to have the confidence in riding which she is still shaky abut.
I was about 6 when I learned how to ride a bike.
With training wheels he can ride and I think it will really help with his balance
I think I was around 5 or so
Oh yea I could really use a bike.
