A nimble, lightweight balance bike perfect for taller kids.

Fits:  Riders aged 3-4 years with a minimum inseam of 15" (38cm)

If your child is a little tall for the average 12" balance bike, this is the one for you!   The lightweight, but sturdy aluminum frame has been engineered for fun, safety and success for children 3-4 years old.  Your child will be pulling their Tadpole Plus out of the garage with excitement!  Rolling and ripping around the neighborhood, learning all the skills necessary for their next bike - with pedals! 

  • Long wheelbase to make balancing easier
  • Padded seat ensures a comfortable ride
  • Easy to grip Tektro rear brake with adjustable lever for smaller hands. The brake is mounted above the rear stay to keep it away from the rider's feet.  
  • Soft handbar grips are comfortable and provide good, safe grip.  
  • 14" wheels
  • Quick release seat-post for easy height adjustment
  • The locking headset means the handlebars have a steering limiter, which is safer for learners
  • Reflectors and a bell are included.

Assembly

All Frog Tadpole Balance Bikes bikes arrive 95% assembled. All you need to do is install the seat post, handlebars and front wheel.  

Our professional bike technician looks over every bike before it ships and switches the hand brake to be standard for the US (rear on the right).

FITTING YOUR RIDER

Getting your kid on the right size bike is important and easy! All you need is:

  • RIDER INSEAM =  Your child's inseam, measured from the top of the crotch directly to the ground. (This is NOT a pant leg inseam measurement).
  • RIDER EXPERIENCE = Your child's ability, comfort and confidence levels while riding a bike.

With these two pieces of information, you can easily calculate the MINIMUM SEAT HEIGHT your child needs on their new bike.

See our Kids Bike Sizing Guide for more details. And see Choosing the Best Bike for YOUR Child for our comprehensive guide to find your kid's next bike!

If you do have any further questions or concerns about sizing, please contact us and one of our Kids Bike Experts would be happy to help!

RETURNS & EXCHANGES

Our "Ride Happy" Guarantee: We want you to love your purchase, but if you are not completely satisfied, we offer hassle-free returns on all orders.

You have 30 days from receiving your order to initiate your return with us:

  • Returns must be in NEW condition with original packaging and product tags.
  • You are responsible for packaging and return shipping. You may purchase a return shipping label from us, which is likely your least expensive option with our discounted rates.
  • Please take your new bike for a "test ride" to make sure it's right for your Rider! Our standard for still being in new condition after a "test ride" is similar to a local bike shop that offers test rides outside their shop. We understand some "dust on the tires," but please keep it new (and hold on to packaging) until you are sure you're keeping it!
  • Your original shipping cost is non-refundable.

If you'd like to return your order, please start here.
