woom WOW is the industry's first and only self-balancing bike for babies, and its safety-first design was created to not only get nine-month-olds moving, but foster developmental skills. "Introducing mobility tools like balance toys as early as nine months can have a profound impact on a child's overall development. At this age, the brain is rapidly growing, and the vestibular system, responsible for balance and spatial orientation, is especially receptive to stimulation," said Dionne Kamara, Director of Movement at Union Square Play, "Activities that encourage balance and movement help develop not just physical coordination, but also foundational skills like eye tracking, hearing, and proprioception."
This bike sets itself apart with a self-stabilizing wobble effect that encourages balance, coordination and confidence, and a fully assembled design that's ready to roll right out of the box.
