Squish 12" Balance Red
Free UK delivery · toolkit or pro build available
Most balance bikes are wooden or heavy steel. The Squish 12 uses a triple-butted aluminium frame instead, which brings it down to 3.86kg — and a lighter bike is one a two-year-old will keep going back to rather than abandon in the hallway. Finished in red.
Who it fits
Recommended for children aged 2 and up, with a minimum height of 85cm (2'9") and a minimum inside leg of 30cm. Measure floor to crotch with shoes off. Send us the measurements and we'll confirm whether the 12" or 14" is the better buy.
What you're getting
- Weight: 3.86kg on a triple-butted aluminium frame
- Low stand over height: both feet flat on the ground, so they feel secure from the first attempt
- Rear brake: fitted, which also saves a set of shoes
- Contact points: ergonomic grips and a child-specific saddle
How they'll progress: walking, then gliding with feet up for longer and longer, then a pedal bike — typically without stabilisers.
Also available: in orange and blue, and in the larger 14" size.
Why Squish
Triple-butted aluminium frames and lightweight components throughout. Named Bike Brand of the Year at the 2024 BikeBiz Awards and highly commended at the 2024 Made for Mums Awards. Every Squish frame and fork carries a free 10-year extended warranty — worth having on a bike likely to be handed down.
Why we can price like this
We're an authorised Squish dealer — but we don't run a shop.
No showroom. No shop floor. No stock sitting in a warehouse depreciating. Your bike is picked and dispatched from the manufacturer's own facility and comes straight to your door.
A traditional bike shop has to cover premises, staff and stockholding before it makes a penny, and that has to come out of the price you pay. We don't carry those costs, so we're not asking you to cover them.
What you don't lose: the full 10-year Squish warranty, because we're an authorised dealer and not a grey importer. A real person to talk sizing through with before you order. And the option of a professional build so it arrives ready to ride.
Delivery and build
Free UK mainland delivery. Bikes ship boxed and part-assembled as standard. Add our professional build and safety check at checkout and a qualified mechanic assembles, adjusts and safety-checks the bike before it leaves — a real workshop job, and entirely optional.
Klarna and Clearpay available on any order value.
