2011 Mini Gliders feature removable foot-pegs for our smallest riders just starting out. With our patented slow speed balance geometry, kids learn to balance at 1.5 -2 MPH,rather than 4-5 mph, once they are comfortable balancing they can put there feet up on our patented foot pegs allowing a more comfortable, safer riding experience.  Just try riding your bike with out resting your feet on the pedals (ouch) why would you want your kids to. The rest of the great features remain the same including Aluminum frame, quick release seat clamp, adjustable handlebars, rear brake ergonomically designed for small hands, removable kickstand and never go flat tires. We believe its the most well designed and highest quality balance bike made. We back it with a life time warranty for years of enjoyment.
