Wood push bikes are another options in balance bikes.  The bikes take you back to a point in history when bikes used to be made of wood instead of metals.  Even though the bikes are made of wood they are still sturdy and can hold up to plenty of punishment.  They are also resistant to water damage and insect damage.  The wood on these bikes have been specially treated to withstand just about anything.  The wood is very hard and will not break over time.

Getting a wood push bike is just as much as a good idea as purchasing a metal balance bike. Both are made equally well and will last years for your child.
