The Frog Tadpole Mini 10" Balance Bike is the smallest balance bike around and will make riding as easy as walking for your little one. It is essentially a toddler bike without pedals. This 10" balance bike is a playful way to introduce toddlers aged 18 months+ to the world of cycling, providing them with the balance necessary for riding a bike. This premium toddler’s bike has a lightweight, sturdy aluminum frame, weighing just 7.6 lbs, making the bike easy to maneuver and easy for parents to carry.

This balance bike is a great alternative to training wheels. It comes fully equipped with high-spec age-specific components, designed for comfort and longevity.

The toddler-sized saddle with quick-release seat post allows for easy height adjustment as they grow and become more confident, and the Tektro brakes with small, easy-to-reach brake levers, mean better control for mini riders. It also comes with chunky tires for maximum stability and grip, and for added security, the bike offers the added benefit of a steering lock, which acts as a safety mechanism to prevent oversteering and serious falls.

Please note: Valve dust caps are not supplied with this model in order to adhere to safety regulations.

Sizing

FROG TADPOLE MINI SIZING

WHEEL SIZE	10"
RIDER HEIGHT	23" - 30"
RIDER AGE	1 - 2 years
MINIMUM INSEAM* (Beginner / Experienced)	9.4" / 9.1"
MAXIMUM INSEAM (Experienced Rider)	11.8"

* MINIMUM INSEAM measurement for a child who is large enough to ride this bike. Beginner (or timid) riders must reach the ground comfortably and flat footed while straddling the seat, meaning their inseam must be close to the minimum seat height. Experienced (or confident) riders will be more comfortable raising their heels off the ground when straddling the seat. See Kids Bike Sizing Guide.
† STANDOVER HEIGHT is measured from the top of the top tube to the ground, passing directly by the front of the chainring.

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 & Warranty

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.

PRAISE FOR THE FROG TADPOLE MINI

The Tadpole Mini balance bike is great for helping children to develop their confidence and strengthen their big muscles as they learn the skill of riding a bike. Our testers found the bike easy to assemble and very sturdy once built and we liked that the seat was able to be adjusted to the correct height for each child. The chunky tyres make the bike very stable for mounting and dismounting which is ideal for a child’s first bike, as it allows their confidence and balance to build without worrying about toppling over. The children also found the bike easy to steer – learning to turn it is fantastic for their spatial awareness.

With a smaller frame but the same pneumatic tyres, rear wheel brake and steering lock (to prevent oversteer by over enthusiastic arm movements), the Tadpole Mini has all the features we’ve come to expect from a Frog Bike, but in a package for smaller riders. The Tadpole Mini balance bike is suitable for children with an inner leg measurement of 23cm, which means this balance bike will appeal to parents of younger children (1 year and over depending on height) who are desperate to get on a balance bike. It’s also ideal for those with small children, whose legs aren’t long enough for a standard size balance bike, but are developmentally ready to move onto one (usually about 3 years and over). It adds to the Frog Balance Bike range, which also includes a “standard” Tadpole 12″ wheeled balance bike, and the Tadpole Plus, which has 14″ wheels for taller riders. Here at Cycle Sprog we are really pleased to see Frog offering something for this size of rider, as we never cease to be amazed at how many little kids have fantastic balance biking skills.
