Meet Spherovelo Juno, the world’s first safely unstable ride-on for 9-24 month olds.

The Juno accelerates the development of young children by making the connection between the child’s senses (vision, pressure, equilibrium…) and their motor system. Some might call it balance but it’s really more about the coordination of their muscles in response to what they see and feel.

Rather than wheels, Juno glides on rotating spheres, using the theory that a freely-moving ball will ‘relocate’ instead of tip: making it harder to fall off. This means Juno simulates the feel of a bike, while being more stable.  Use the training wheels to make it a stable ride-on for under kids, or remove them altogether for a bit of wiggle and teach them balance and co-ordination.

The overall result is one super cool looking balance bike that can be ridden by tiny tots, aged 9 months and up.

One lucky Mums Grapevine subscriber will win a Spherovelo Juno balance bike ($155) in either red, blue or white.

The toe-tapping dance numbers and hilarious characters will have the kids enthralled, and with a stellar cast (including Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Robin Williams and many more), parents will have fun playing “guess the voice”. Hot tip: this is one occasion where you need to stay for the credits … loads of fun!
