Review on 🚲 Ace of Play Balance Bike: The Ultimate Lightweight Bike for Kids 18 Months to 5 Years! by Chris Palmer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Confidence boost and a great way to learn about two wheelers

Tried to get my 5 year old son to take his training wheels off. We tried a few tricks - run and then let go (he just puts his foot up), hold him under his armpits with a strap and then drop him when he goes (it worked for a few seconds, and then he has his foot put down again). Tbh the training wheels haven't even touched the ground at this point but it's a lack of confidence and just security. So our friend suggested an impeller. We wanted it to be light and adjustable for my 5 year old and maybe allow my 2 year old to ride it. When we received it we removed the training wheels from the pedal bike and gave my son an ultimatum. You ride a balance bike until you can ride a two-wheeler without training wheels. After half an hour on the balance bike, my son picked up a two-wheeled pedal bike and started pedaling like he wasn't scared. this morning. This gave him the confidence to be able to do without training wheels. We were blown away by how quick the transition was. Now he rides his two-wheeled bicycle everywhere. The two-year-old got a running bike through inheritance, but it's not high enough. Cons: When the seat is all the way down, the steering wheel drags on the floor. It needs to be tightened slightly higher than the lowest setting. ADVICE. When adjusting the handlebar height, hold the handlebar between your knees when tightening to avoid tightening the handlebar in an awkward position. The kids laughed a bit about the handlebars being in an odd position when trying to ride it because I was tightening it without holding the handlebars.
