There’s a new balance bike making its way to the market – ZumZum is a natural, lightweight balance bike that’s geared towards kids as young as 18 months. If you’re unaware of the benefits of children beginning on balance bikes before pedal bikes, let me fill you in!
- Kids do better focusing on one thing at a time. Therefore balance bikes allow kids to zone in on mastering their balance before riding.
- When a child rides with training wheels they tend to lean into the turn, instead of learning to balance. This formed habit makes it harder for kids to learn to ride independently.
What makes ZumZum Balance Bikes different:
ZumZum bikes are designed with a unique natural suspension system that notably absorbs the shock when hitting bumps, making it easier for kids to ride on tough terrains. The balance bike is made with three simple parts, making it easy for use and maintenance. The non-marking rubber tires allow kids the option to ride inside or out, while the super strong birch plywood allows for longevity. Also included is a NFC passport chip in the steering wheel giving quick access via smartphone to warranty and owner information.
One of my greatest memories growing up was riding bikes with friends. Being on two wheels got us everywhere we needed to go within a reasonable distance. Getting children acclimated with balancing before pedaling develops strength and coordination. Plus the bike looks really cool! Right?!
The goal for ZumZum’s Kickstarter Program is to begin production on larger quantities of bikes, then shift into accessories and color choices. If you think this sounds like an awesome product to invest in, head to their Kickstarter page to learn more. You can pledge as little as $5! Backers who donate $149 or more will get their hands on the first ZumZum balance bikes, and at a discount price!!
The ZumZum team is so proud of their product that they want to give one very lucky My Boys and Their Toys reader their very own ZumZum bike! Isn’t that awesome?!

I love how this teaches children the importance and confidence of finding balance. Equalibrium is very important and when children master it they are very confident and happy. I know my daughter would love this, and so would I.
