The Details

Designed for older children, the Frog Tadpole Plus is the same light, durable, and safe, balance bike as the Tadpole but sized up for children between 3-4 years to help them develop essential skills.

Lighter than other balance bikes around, the Frog Tadpole Plus is more enjoyable for them to ride and much safer due to the enhanced control. The lightweight of the Tadpole Plus is down to the quality aluminium construction and components that are all built to the same standards as your very own bike.

Clever features are integrated into the Tadpole Plus to not only make their first experience with a bike more enjoyable but also safer. Unique locking headset means they can't accidentally oversteer, while a rear brake provides an easier way to stop than putting their feet down and includes a small hand-friendly lever.

Key Features:

  • Lightweight but sturdy Frame making the bike easy to manoeuvre for your child and easy for you to carry!
  • Tektro rear brake with small easy to reach brake lever for tiny hands to brake with confidence
  • Safety steering lock to prevent oversteering
  • Top-mounted brake arms avoid feet catching
  • Quick-release seat post (no tools required) for easy height adjustment as they grow and become more confident
  • Free 5 year warranty on frame and forks
  • Bell included
  • Please be aware valve dust caps are not supplied with this model, in order to adhere to safety standards and regulations

Our Verdict

The Frog Tadpole Plus is perfect for getting your little ones comfortable on two wheels.
