Zulily: 50% off Smart Gear Balance Bikes!

I've previously raved and raved about balance bikes here on How2Coupon, but now I have a full-fledged testimony to go along with all the praise!

  My oldest son, who turned 4 in December, has been splitting time between his balance bike and a bicycle with training wheels. We've known for awhile now that he's been ready to ride without training wheels, all thanks to his balance bike. We have a pretty steep driveway, and it made for a great hill to coast careen down on the balance bike, completely fearless. He could even hit a small speed-bump at the bottom, going top-speed, without incident. That balance bike is a miracle worker, because check this out:

  After the typical protesting of a 4-year-old, he hopped on his now training-wheel-free bike on Monday and he rode that bike like a pro. This photo was taken just two minutes into his first ride without training wheels. Peddling, turning, braking all came super easy. It was all we could do to get him to stop riding that bike once the sun went down.

  All that to say, if you have young kiddos, you need a balance bicycle. If you start early enough, you can bi-pass training wheels altogether. Today on Zulily, Smart Gear balance bikes are on sale up to 50% off, which is an awesome deal.
