‘No hands, who’s the man?’ is the end goal for sure—but before getting them to that (scary) daring stage, they should master the art of riding without training wheels at least. Has it occurred to you that the old saying “as easy as riding a bike” doesn’t ring so true?
So after a ‘spring is finally here’ weekend chasing around our three savvy testers (age 2, 4, and 6) on some of the new run bikes, we have found a new strategy for learning the art of the “two wheeler”. And while perhaps not quite as easy as falling off a log, it’s pretty close!

These pedal-less bikes, designed for children aged 2 to 5, are a new concept in training bikes that have swept across Europe in popularity and are just now available in North America. The little rider sits on the bike seat but moves the bike with feet on the ground rather than on pedals.

That perfect little miracle, otherwise known as a newborn, is with us for such a short time. We miss that time—but that’s why we love the baby shower. It’s our chance to relive those precious days by purchasing those special gifts.
So if you want to win best guest this spring at the next baby shower you are invited to, read our first annual SavvyMom Dream Baby Shower gift guide for a little inspiration.
