24 Gifts For Kids And Outdoor Toys For Christmas {2019}

Whether you push, run or pedal, this holiday season is the perfect time to learn to ride a bike. And, if you are looking for the perfect starter bike for your preschooler, the E-250 by ByK Bikes offers three bikes in one so it can grow with your child as their skill level increases.

The thing that makes this particular bike really unique is the detachable push handle. When your child is ready to graduate from a balance bike to pedals, you can either choose to add the training wheels or use the push handle to help your child balance as they pedal along. Or you can add both and use the handlebar to redirect your child if they get stuck. Additionally, the low ergonomic frame and ultralight weight make learning to ride easier than ever before.

With rolling dynamics 30% superior to competitors, the E-250 is the absolute best first bike experience you can give your child this Christmas! Note: assembly instructions can be found here.

Globber

Rather than get your child the latest new gadget or digital device, we think the holidays are the perfect time to encourage your kids to get outside, connect with the neighbors, and stay physically active. The gift of Globber’s Primo Plus 3-wheel scooter does just that.

Sometimes young children have a hard time learning to balance on a traditional 2-wheel scooter. Three-wheel scooters are perfect for younger riders and Primo Plus is specifically designed to meet the needs of toddlers on up to 6-7 years old. Featuring an adjustable handlebar and a steering lock mechanism, this scooter allows your child to learn to balance before they need to steer. When they are ready, just unlock the steering by easily pressing the red button on the bottom of the deck and they are ready to go.

Your kids may not want to play with anything else when they see their new scooter hanging by the tree.
