Review on Avenor Baby Balance Bike: The Perfect First Bike For 6-24 Month Olds - Safe, Sturdy, And Fun! by William Gildea

I'll keep it short and very honest. First we saw it on Walmart and got very excited to buy one.When arrived, there was excessive plastic hanging down from the wheels, which is highly dangerous for a year old kid as they will pull or bite and eat. Anyways, we removed by pulling it and using razor to make sure most of it gone and become much safer on that certain situation.He was already walking but surel falling etc time to time and he is a little big guy for his age, so it was too easy for him to get on and push around.After couple days, he lost interest and for some reason he kind of hates it.Well we noticed why and here are some facts from our aspect as we are both engineers;Pros:SturdyEasy to useFairly helpful for new walkers or the ones getting up alreadySimple to put togetherSafeCons:-In my opinion, it is too light if your 1yr old is big o boy.-Nothing is adjustable, seat was too low for our little on as he is taller than average.-Hard seat and no traction, rubber spots would have been better so little ones won't slide off to back or front.-Manufacturing is not perfect, there are defects and flaws unless we got a bad batch.-Wheel turn is too limited, needs more flex to turn.-Wheel edges/cheeks or wheel walls are too round, easily falls on sides by rolling, should have much more flatter to help stay on balance and better traction, maybe rubber wheels!-Wheelbase is too tight, yes they need to work it out to stay on balance but little ones falls all the time, our friends kid kept falling while trying to turn.-Those excessive hanging down plastics can cause health issues so Quality Assurance is no good, which is very important.-EXPENSIVE, our friends purchased from another retailer for $25!Conclusion:💸💸💸Overall it's worth buying it but not on this $65 cost (including tax). Can be purchased same thing under different names online ranging $20-$40.Not the best design/engineering produce but still gets the job done. Can be definitely improved, just needs better design and better QA. Someone needs to think deeper or test with their kids to imagine what can be improved or what are the flaws that can be eliminated.
