The countdown to Christmas has begun for many of us. It's a fun but hectic time of year, which is why we thought we would save you a little time and provide you with weekly Christmas present inspiration for active kids.

This week we feature the award winning Strider 12 Sport. The Strider Sport is a balance bike suitable for children between the age of 18 months and 5 years of age. Super light and easy to control it features a durable, all weather, padded saddle designed for beginner riders. With a long seat post also included and adjustable handle bars the bike grows with your child.

Our daughter loved her Strider and when she progressed on to a full bike she rode it straight away, full of confidence. She is still a more accomplished cyclist than her older brother!

Watch out for next weeks Christmas gift idea for active kids. Have a great week
