Balance bikes have quickly become one of the most common ways to get your child onto 2 wheels. They're ideal for teaching balance and control, to then move straight onto a pedal bike without the need for stabilisers. Our Lil Duchess balance bike now completes our Duchess line-up...from a 12"" balance bike, right up to a full size adults Duchess Deluxe bike, we have a classy, traditional offering for all ages! Robust steel frame, proper little wheels and tyres (no plastic here) and of course, an attractive little basket up front. And don't worry, the basket is made from a flexible material which won't dent or crack if your little Duchess should happen to take a little longer than expected to find her balance!
