Review on Schwinn Balance Toddler Bikes: 12-Inch Wheels, Beginner Rider Training & More – Various Colors Available by Joshua Mccall

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to assemble - maybe 15 minutes max - but you'll need...

Easy assembly - 15 minutes max - but requires recommended tools such as B. an appropriately sized wrench. Make sure the seat height is adjusted for your child. When a child is in the saddle, the heels should not touch the ground and the front toes of their boots should touch the ground slightly, as if standing on tiptoe. There are platforms on either side for little feet to rest on during the ride. My child loved it and soon learned to stand on it too. That's a great runner. Nice solid bike with excellent paint job. Not too heavy or light. Just the right size and weight for the little ones. This really should deserve five stars if it weren't for the quality control issues. The first delivery came without a rudder. Luckily, Revain has an excellent returns policy for these cases, and we received a new batch the day after we reported the problem. We found it interesting that the rubber caps for the air valves were missing on both packages. Granted, this is usually a very minor cosmetic issue, but I've never seen a bike - new ones at that - without a valve cover. My 3.5 year old successfully switched to a large boys bike without training wheels after exactly a week on this bike. Pride and confidence in such an achievement in a young child is simply unparalleled. I have no doubt that learning to cruise on this wheel was a key factor in this success.

Pros
  • Comfortable handlebar with limiter makes it easier for beginners to control the bike.
Cons
  • Almost never.
