Review on Schwinn Balance Toddler Bikes: 12-Inch Wheels for Beginner Rider Training in Multiple Colors by Sean Young

I bought this for my 23 month old daughter after seeing my 18 month old nephews having success with the Strider brand. After comparing Strider and Schwinn, Strider did a better job. The Strider layout forces the child to sit up and raise their legs in a balancing act. It does the job best. The Schwinns layout is harder to come by. My daughter wanted to be standing and walking with her bike all the time instead of properly sitting and balancing. We both took toddlers aged just over 2 to ride bikes and both found the Strider easy to manoeuvre, balance and ride. Schwinn was tougher, maybe it'll get easier when she grows up. But if you want to buy a balance bike, it will help your baby from 18 months. Go with a runner :)
