My sweet nieces are girls after my own heart: curious, outspoken, and always on the move! I had to snag them Christmas gifts that weren’t the regular toys or tablet… nor trike. Banwood is a luxury children’s scooter and bicycle line that is Oprah-approved and also Beauty News NYC approved! My oldest niece, a six year old OBSESSED with all things pink, received the Maxi Scooter Banwood in a soft ballerina rose color. On the front handlebars is a classic wicker basket for her to put any snacks or books in while making her way to her friend’s house or the park. The frame is adjustable to her height, which means this scooter will be around for a while as she grows up. On the bottom is an oak anti-slip deck, which gives me and her mom peace of mind as she zips.
On to my littlest niece, who is turning four on New Year’s Day… I decided to go for the Balance Bike Vintage Banwood X Marest – Allegra Black. What is a balance bike, and how is it different from a trike? Well, I had the same question as I was deciding between the two. The trikes have three wheels, and the Balance Bike has a child-centered frame that enables them to practice balancing and motor skills safely so they can transition to a proper bike when big enough! I loved this idea, and its print with colorful sprinkles! The seat, wheels, and frame are made of high quality materials— not like the bikes of my youth. When my niece opened this gift she said “thank you” so many times I couldn’t keep count. I’m excited to be a part of her journey of (toddler) independence with Banwood’s phenomenal and top-quality bikes.
Give the gift of freedom to the child in your life with an adorable Banwood buy!
