Simon started actually riding his strider at about 16 months. He was able to walk without supporting but was definitely still an unstable little guy. 
@PusherMan that is awesome! Sounds like he loves riding.
That’s a really good point. Any tips from anybody to help kids feel more comfortable standing up on the pedals?
Yeah, if you can swing it, it is certainly worthwhile. Isla quit importing into the US recently, so Nate and I got a couple bikes for our kiddos to grow into.
True that! I had no interest in riding dirt bikes or bicycles for years when I was a kid, but the time came along where it suddenly caught my interest and I was hooked. My dad encouraged me, but he never forced me.
In our case, Simon is a very curious kid who is very interested in riding, so it was simply up to us to support & guide. Every kid is different, and they can change 180º from one day to the next.
My dad was the one who designed and printed it. I know he already has ways he wants to improve on the design (engineers gonna engineer!), but I’ll check with him and let you know.
