Sturdy, light and a good start to riding a bike.

.so far I've been happy with this bike for teaching a preschooler to balance and begin getting the hang of riding a bicycle. One concern I have is that the ties seem to be made of a very dense foam with plastic coating, so I'm unsure of how these will wear in the long run. The upside is you don't have to air-up any tires.

Pros
  • it was very easy to assemble, my grandson loves it, easy for him to ride
Cons
  • Tires are made of plastic, which makes its VERY VERY noisy when riding on concrete/pavement

So cute! My daughter loves it. My only .

So cute! My daughter loves it. My only complaint was the instructions for assembly. I received a giant booklet on how to assemble all of their general bikes but there was no section on balance bikes. Luckily I figured it out myself. Leave out the booklet and include instructions on how to assemble THIS product.

Pros
  • The wheels are plastic and are unbalanced. But overall it's a decent product.
Cons
  • The green color is a bright neon green, not at all the turquoise green depicted in the listing.

Great beginner bike

It was very easy to assemble. So far we are really liking it, , its not to heavy for my toddler, but it will take him some time to learn how to ride it. The tires material does worry me so we will stay away from gravel.

Pros
  • ❤ALWAYS ON YOUR SIDE - With JOYSTAR's durable steel frame and puncture-proof tires, you don't have to worry about damage or maintenance. This toddler bike comes with the basic assembly tools, perfect customer service and also limited lifetime warranty.
Cons
  • May not encourage enough physical activity

Not easy to assemble

Poor quality control. There were bits of weld sticking out in the frame tubing which stopped the seat post slotting in. Had to file them down to get it to fit.

Pros
  • ❤GROWS WITH YOUR CHILD - The balance bikes come with quick release seat clamp for tool-free adjustment. The seat and handlebar heights adjust to accommodate ages 18 months to 5 years, or a 12.6- 18.5 in. inseam. A geat first balance bike transition to pedal bike for kids.
Cons
  • May not offer enough stability for younger children

Great for the little ones

This bike is perfect for my 3 year old. She loves it and is getting really good at it. The only think i didn't love about it was the tires. The feel like hard plastic. I would have liked a real tire!

Pros
  • My son is 3ft tall and this bike was 4 inches too tall for him MAYBE for a 4yo. Cried on his birthday
Cons
  • The green color is a bright neon green, not at all the turquoise green depicted in the listing.

Great little bike for first timers

This little bike is so light I thought they forgot to put it in the box when it arrived. It was extremely easy to assemble and seems durable enough. The only real concern I have is that there are a few plastic pieces which act as washers/spacers for the handle bars. I am worried that the plastic construction might prove to be less durable over time. I it was a little stuff when turning the handlebars after assembling the bike but already after just a short time with my kids playing it has…

Pros
  • Builds a strong foundation for future biking skills
Cons
  • Limited warranty may not offer sufficient protection

A little bigger than I thought

It is very lightweight and easy to put together but it's a little too tall for my 2 year old and it's not as sturdy as I thought it would be. but over all I'm happy with my purchase

Pros
  • ❤LIGHTWEIGHT BALANCE BIKE - The 12 Marcher weights only 6.28lbs(2.85kg), makes it easy for your child to ride and stride. A low step-through metal frame is designed for child rider easy for them to get on or off the bike. The frame is lightweight and durable, ensuring years of fun!
Cons
  • May not be suitable for children with special needs

Perfect for a beginner!

My 4 yr old granddaughter just received this for her 4th birthday. Having never even ridden or even balanced on a bike before this one was perfect. She was so excited and is enjoying it so much.

Pros
  • Easy to assemble
Cons
  • May not stimulate imagination or pretend play

Good balance bike for price

My 4 yr old loves this balance bike. It was easy to put together. My only complaint is that it's difficult to get the front fork tightened well enough. My child rides this bike on uneven ground and eventually gets the handlebar out of line with the front tire. I've had to tighten the same nut several times in an attempt to keep it lined up correctly.

Pros
  • Provides kids with a sense of independence
Cons
  • May not be easy to transport

Great bike! best in my review

I purchased this product for my daughter who is 4 years old. The color is a bubble gum pink, which she loves! My husband assembled the bike in 10 minutes- super easy. We like that the seat adjust easily. My daughter has used the bike for about 2 weeks and she likes it, the bike is really helping with her balance. Thinking a couple months on this balance bike and she will be riding a bike easily. Great buy at a great price with super fast delivery!

Pros
  • Great for indoor or outdoor use
Cons
  • No option for training wheels

Great deal, great bike

Bought this for my daughter's 2nd birthday. It was easy to assemble and is very lightweight. The tires are not rubber which is intentional, to make the bike more lightweight and maneuverable. She's very short for her age, but is still able to ride it, and is slowly getting the hang of it. My four year old LOVES it and flies down the street on it. Would definitely buy again.

Pros
  • Promotes a fun and positive attitude towards exercise
Cons
  • May not provide enough exercise for older children

Good quality for price

I got this for my son because I didn't feel the need to spend double the amount on a brand name bike. It went together quickly and easily, and he loves it. My only two minor issues are:1) that there is a cover where the handlebars join the post that doesn't stay on well.2) the tires are solid (I knew that when I purchased it), but I'm not sure of the durability of the foam that they are made from.

Pros
  • Provides a valuable investment in a child's lifelong health and wellbeing
Cons
  • May not be as exciting as other outdoor toys on the market

Good balance bike good for me

I got this bike for my two year old for Easter. He loves it! He is still learning so he goes at turtle speed but gets better each day he rides and should be cruising at no time. He's a little tall for an average 2 year old and the bike fits him great. The only complaint I have are the bars between his legs sticks out and rubs his calves leaving red marks. He doesn't seem bothered by it but it bothers me that it leaves red marks.

Pros
  • Helps reduce screen time and other sedentary activities
Cons
  • May not be suitable for children who prefer riding in groups

Customer service best in my review

I would like to say, this company has amazing customer service. We received a bike that wasn’t small enough for my son, and they replaced it with a smaller one. Amazing customer service and quick response.

Pros
  • Safe and secure for kids
Cons
  • Not suitable for more advanced riding skills

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to Use in my review

We bought this bike for our daughter so that she would stop stealing her older brother's balance bike. The curved bar makes it easier for shorter kids to use (our son has a Strider and she can't quite fit on it because of the straight bar). The pink plastic ball is a little annoying because it jiggles and I'm always nervous that it's going to pop off when the bike gets tossed down (I would love to say that my toddler is gentle on everything but I would be lying), but it hasn't so far. Overall…

Pros
  • Can be used on various terrains
Cons
  • May not be suitable for all terrains

Nice balance bike that won’t break the bank

I was able to follow the instructions and put the bike in around 15 mins. Bike is quite sturdy with my 2 year old riding it about and putting it on the side walk from time to time. I like its height is easily adjustable, making it easy to try multiple positions before finding the right height for my 2 year old. It’s quite easy to get the hang of. My 2 year old daughter didn’t have any issues picking it up and try to ride herself.

Pros
  • Helps develop a sense of balance and equilibrium
Cons
  • Limited features may not keep children's attention

Only lasted a little under a year

So sad to say my 2 year old can no longer ride his bike as it suddenly just broke … only last a little under a year Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Deduct one start because it not very strong. Otherwise my kid loves it
Cons
  • No footrests, which may be uncomfortable for children
