Strider Launches New Baby Balance Bike: A Head Start on Fun and Development, From Tummy Time to Toddling

RAPID CITY, S.D., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Strider Bikes today announced the launch of the Strider Baby Balance Bike, a super fun indoor toy that supports every step of early development. The Strider Baby Balance Bike (ages 0-18 months) takes babies from tummy time to toddling, starting with sensory fun in the nursery and growing with them as they learn to explore the world on two feet – and two wheels!

"From sensory fun to gross motor skills, the first year of a baby's life is the most important for their brain development," said Strider CEO Dona Nesselhuf. "The Strider Baby Balance Bike is the one toy that supports every crucial phase while building core memories."

According to the Cleveland Clinic, sensory play during tummy time helps babies develop language skills, fine and gross motor skills, and build important neural pathways. The Strider Baby Balance Bike sparks a baby's curiosity with stimulating tactile experiences, including raised letters, numbers and shapes on the wheels. As babies graduate to independent sitting, they'll spin the wheels and twist the bumpy handlebars, exploring how the bike works.

During the magical time when babies learn to stand and walk, the Strider Baby Balance Bike accelerates their full body coordination as the world's best assisted walking toy. The bike's two wheels, plus your baby's two feet on the ground, give them four points of contact that helps them learn true independent balance better than three- and four-wheel toys that balance on their own. Weighing only 2.4 lbs, the super lightweight walk-with-me design is easy for babies to control, and the no-scratch tires give you peace of mind as you stride through the house together. 

The Strider Baby Balance Bike is now available at StriderBikes.com and on Amazon.

Ryan's wheels started turning on how to make riding simple and fun to learn for two-year-old Bode. As he broke down the "basics" of riding he was reminded of the number one factor to riding a bike: balance.
