The Puky LR M is a good first balance bike because it has smaller 10" wheels, compared to many other models that have 12" wheels. This gives a little extra balance for a child just starting on a balance bike. The range of colours is bright and cheerful. The reputation for quality is also very good. This bike can also be used like a scooter, and the step through frame makes it nice and easy for the child to get on and off.
