The Banana Bike LT is the right balance bike for pavement — just don't take it on trails

The Banana Bike LT hits the sweet spot for a balance bike if your kid is mostly riding on pavement or through the living room. It’s light enough for a toddler to maneuver on their own, but skip it if you’ve got serious trails in mind — this one wants flat ground. At this price, it’s the kind of thing you buy once and hand down through three kids.
