Carrera Cosmos Balance Bike – 12-inch Wheel (First Bike)

Balance bikes have quickly become one of the most popular ways to teach a child to ride a bike – and for good reason! As the name suggests, they help teach a child balance and that’s why they’re kept as simple as possible with no saddle or drivetrain.

As you’d expect, the Carrera Cosmos balance bike benefits from a market-leading design and comes with components specially designed for toddlers. Every aspect of the bike is carefully designed, including a lightweight frame that’s easy to control and manoeuvre, an adjustable brake lever, and a lightweight, one-piece, Carrera-designed handlebar with narrow grips which is perfect for kids’ hands.
