RAPID CITY, S.D., Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --  Strider Bikes announced today that the Strider Sport 2-in-1 Rocking Bike was named a winner in Good Housekeeping's 2025 Parenting Awards. The full list of awards can be found on goodhousekeeping.com/parenting2025. 

The Strider Sport 2-in-1 Rocking Bike (ages 6 months to 4 years) is the best way to teach babies and toddlers how to balance, and the best investment you can make in their bike learning. This innovative bike starts as a rocker for babies as young as 6 months, and then turns into their first balance bike that they can use through age 4. The Rocking Base securely holds the STEAM-accredited Strider 12 Sport Balance Bike in place as your child rocks, teaching them how to balance, and improving their dexterity, cognitive ability, and spatial awareness as young as 6 months old. Once they master rocking, simply detach the Rocking Base and they're ready to roll on their first balance bike.

"We're so excited that our Strider Sport 2-in-1 Rocking Bike has been named a Good Housekeeping 2025 Parenting Award winner," said Strider Bikes Founder & CEO Ryan McFarland. "Watching children develop an early love for two-wheeled fun is a true gift and we're grateful that so many families have experienced that thrill with our little bikes."

ABOUT STRIDER SPORTS INTERNATIONAL, INC.   

Strider began with a father's passion for riding anything on two wheels and a need to share it with his son.

Ryan, being an expert level rider, started teaching Bode how to ride his bike. Simple... right? However, frustration soon followed when there was no tool that fit the job. This frustration was the foundation of Strider. Soon, Ryan's wheels started turning on how to make riding simple and fun to learn for his son. As he broke down the "basics" of riding he was reminded of the number one factor to riding a bike: balance.

Founded in 2007, in Rapid City, South Dakota, Strider Bikes has sold more than 4 million bikes and is distributed in more than 75 countries. Visit Www.StriderBikes.com, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.
