The First Ride Harness is specifically designed for the first few bicycle rides without training wheels or when transitioning from balance to pedal bike. It allows you to be by your child, ready to save her from falling, without killing your back and most importantly, instead of holding or pushing the child around you can let the child balance, and intervene only when she is about to bite the dust! Balance cannot be explained. Children need to find their balance by riding. With the First Ride Harness you can skip the scrapes and tears!
