Our family swears by balance bikes! Our Little Guy learned on one and it helped him a ton. Balance bikes are so much easier for both parents and kids. Now that we’ve had two different balance bikes, we can easily say we love our Scraaam Balance Bike the best! There are so many things to love about this bike, and you can win a Scraaam Balance Bike for your little one as well as many other prizes in the MAYbe You’ll Win Giveaway Hop!
We were provided a Scraaam bike to facilitate our review, as well as a bike to give away to one of you lucky readers! All opinions are honest and our own. This post also may contain affiliate links.
Balance bikes are a fantastic way to help your little one learn to ride a bike. Not only are they smaller and lighter, but they are much easier for small children to ride and they help them learn to balance better than training wheels.
We are big fans of kiddos learning on a balance bike.
Balance Bike vs Training Wheels
We tried the training wheels, but they kept getting stuck on uneven ground and needed a push, the kids had a hard time getting the bike started, and they were so heavy and bulky when the kids inevitably decided they didn’t want to ride anymore.
A balance bike was a total game changer for the kids and ourselves!
Balance bikes are smaller, lighter, and much easier for the kids. Instead of needing a push to start, the kids have their feet on the ground the whole time. They have much more control and can get themselves started, over uneven ground, and they don’t get tangled up in the pedals.
Balance bikes are much better for parents because they allow the kids to become more independent. Starting and stopping is no problem and the bikes are so light. Instead of getting tangled up in the pedals, bending down at an awkward angle, or carrying a heavy bike and getting hit in the chins with training wheels, these bikes can be carried in one hand and are no problem at all!

We had a balance bike for our son, so we’ve had the chance to compare them both and this one is our favorite.

Dislikes
– The stand is great but we find our bikes to slip off unless we have it juuuust right
This balance bike is the best we’ve seen! We are so impressed with SCRAAAM balance bikes!
We had a balance bike that our son learned on and it was so great for helping him learn to balance and be ready for a big kid bike. It made learning a breeze. We were going to hand the balance bike down to his sister, but couldn’t resist this great, pink bike. I’m so glad we decided to get her her own!
The bike was easy to assemble. We loved that it came with two seats so we could adjust the seat more than our previous bike. We also loved the addition of the handle on the back of the seat for steadying or carrying. Only one of the seats had this handle. As I mentioned, we did have a small scuff in our paint when the bike arrived, but it’s nothing that wouldn’t be done after a couple of rides or drops by our kiddo anyway. 🙂
The absolute best thing about this bike is the weight! It is so much lighter than our previous bike, and I thought that was pretty light. This has it beat! As often happens with little kids, we inevitably end up carrying the bike when we are on long walks or get to the park or yard and they run off. So, you will carry the bike often. This bike is something like less than 5lbs and you hardly know you’re carrying it. I grab it right from the large bar in the center and find it so comfortable in my hand and easy to hold. With our son’s bike, the handlebars tended to turn and make it a little awkward, but I haven’t noticed it at all with this bike.
Our daughter loved that it came with two different types of stickers to choose from. I preferred the white hearts because they look great with the white writing, but she chose the more colorful decals. They include two of each so you can stick them on both sides of the center bar. It’s also very nice that there is a stand for the bike. I’ve never seen this with any other bikes. We have had to be sure to place it on the stand just right, because if we do it quickly and are not paying attention it doesn’t always stand right. One other thing that stands out from our other bike is that the Scraaam balance bike has grips and a place for kids to place their feet when the start to get the hang of keeping their balance and coasting. It’s really great to have that option!
We love, love, love this Scraaam balance bike! I’m so happy we go her her own bike because the weight and size, beautiful color, and stand make this an improvement over her brother’s bike. It’s so fun to watch her want to ride her bike. These are much easier for bike rides than training wheels because they were always getting suck, uneven, or she needed a push to start. Kids can be much more independent with these balance bikes!

I love that it weighs less than 5 pounds! Amazing! With it being so light, it would probably get more use.
Absolutely! It’s so easy for them to handle themselves, and easy for us parents to carry
My favorite feature is the carrying handle on the seat! This will help me to hold the bike steady without touching her!
It is so nice! I thought I’d be holding on to it or steadying here, but there’s almost no need with these bikes!
I like that it’s very lightweight — we live at the base of a fairly steep hill and the littles generally need a lift up the hill.
It is so great for hills! Bikes with training wheels would be too hard or tiring, but they can basically walk these so the kids stay on them longer.
My favorite feature is the EVA foam rubber tires!

I love that it’s easy to put together which is a relief and also that it’s light weight so it can be carried around once the kid takes a break from it
