Review on JOYSTAR Balance Toddler Puncture Proof Children by Pete Norris

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I think there are better options.

We received the package quickly in a beautiful box and I waited several days to open it. When I opened it it was in front of my daughter on the day we were going to drive. (I know, maybe bad planning.) We were both excited, but then we were both disappointed. After opening, it turned out that the box had been opened earlier, the bike was partially assembled and most importantly, there was no connecting element between the handlebars and the frame. I didn't like the hard, hollow plastic tires either—they looked cheap, slippery, and one was already dented. My three year old and I wanted to ride that day - it occurred to me that these gliders are likely to be used relatively gently as the child grows or needs pedaling. That day we found another used option somewhere else on the internet (right?) to snag the same day (for us it was a Giant Pre wheel but there are many): real tires, strong frame , carefully used, already assembled and ready to drive. It's a more expensive bike than a Joystar if you buy it new, but it was a lot cheaper. We are very happy with it and still got our ride that day! I would choose something other than a Joystar.

Pros
  • AIRLESS TIRE - Unlike a regular rubber tire that needs to be inflated, the tire is made of EVA polymer foam, never deflates at a minimal weight, a young rider can carry the bike on their feet. own.
Cons
  • Difficult to say
