Review on 🚲 JOYSTAR Kids Balance Bike - Lightweight 12/14 Inch Bicycle for 2-6 Year Olds, Toddler Glide Bike with Footrest, Handlebar Pads, and Push Bike Option by Nathan Tsugawa

Similar to the Strider Classic but with 14 " wheels

This is exactly the same Strider Classic but with 14" wheels. The Wirecutter website has a great article on wheels. We bought a Strider Classice for two years, but it's HUGE and outpaced it quickly. Strider makes a 14 inch wheel but it comes with a pedal conversion kit so it's quite expensive and outside of our budget. I've searched and searched and searched for a 14-inch balance bike under $100, and there's nothing else from Joystar like this. Not only is it affordable, but it shares some of the same design features that make the Strider branded product so popular. It is very light, making it easy for a small child to pick it up on their own. The bar connecting the front and back of the bike slopes down (as girls bikes usually do, only lower) making it MUCH EASIER for the little guy to step over or sit on. There are also built-in footrests on bars leading back to the rear axle. Overall very happy with it.

Pros
  • Decent performance
