Wheels are bent - my new review

Just put this together for my son who is going to be heartbroken that he can't ride his new bike. The wheels are so bent and crooked that I wouldn't trust it to be safe enough for him to ride on. They wobble when you spin them (and yes, they are fastened tightly). The back tire was so bent that it was hard to fit the back wheel into it's place. This is clearly an extremely cheap product. Don't waste your money or time.

Pros
  • Granddaughters bday gift loves it
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other balance bikes on the market

Cheap tires - my new review

I did not care for the tires that came with it. Cheap and bent. Bike was just fine other than that. Easy purchase, delivered on time. Right size.

Pros
  • The bike is simple to assemble, meaning you can quickly get your child on their way
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for children with hearing impairments

Had higher hopes good for me

This is prefect size and so lightweight, could be perfect. Except the front wheel and handle bars would all of a sudden keep going crooked. We tried everything and it kept doing it, ending up returning it.

Pros
  • This balance bike is a great alternative to training wheels
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for children with Down syndrome

As it should be best in my review

It was just the right size for my four-year-old girl. Easy to assemble. Sometimes it is difficult to keep the seat in place as it does wiggle a little. It has been a great aid to help her learn balance.

Pros
  • The footrest helps to teach kids to balance on two wheels before they even start using a pedal bike
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for children with joint issues

Good training bike: my feedback

Fits well for two year old nephew but he hasn’t quite mastered the balance. This will definitely prep him for a real bike.

Pros
  • The adjustable seat also makes it more suitable for children of varying heights
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for children with cerebral palsy

Great little bike! good for me

This bike is great! It's lightweight so my 2.5 yr old has no problem getting around on it. The seat is easily adjustable too. My 6 year used this for a few days to get confidence in balancing. After that she was riding her bike with no problem.

Pros
  • This bike is perfect for little ones who are too young to pedal a regular bike
Cons
  • The bike may not be appropriate for all educational philosophies

Not confident it will hold together

Recognizing the cost of the bike, I'm still concerned about its sturdiness. The handlebars are connected with the most basic of brackets and requires excessive tightening. The seat slides down to the lowest position while riding, even when firmly tightened.

Pros
  • ADJUSTABLE SEAT & HANDLEBAR- Built to fit kids 3 - 6 Years. The seat is 16.5"- 21.6" ( 42-55cm) adjustable. The handlebar is 23.6"- 25.2"( 60cm - 64cm) adjustable.
Cons
  • The tires are not suitable for all terrains

The best company to work with

The bike is perfect for my grandkid it’s light and adjustable with growing kids but this company is the best and most helpful

Pros
  • The bike has a comfortable seat that enables kids to continue playing for extended periods without feeling any discomfort
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for children who have difficulty with auditory processing

Balance bike best in my review

If only my almost 6 year old son hadn’t decided he could ride his bike the week before this arrived. Thankfully the neighbors younger son was able to use it and loves it!

Pros
  • Sports & Outdoors
Cons
  • The footrests may become loose over time

Great value - my new review

This was a great price for the quality of bike. It is holding up well for my 4 year old daughter. It's great for helping a child learn how to balance on a bike.

Pros
  • The bike's premium quality build means it can handle everyday wear and tear from children
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for children with ADHD

Bday gift for 2 year old

I love this is teaching my 2 year old balance skills first! The 14 inch was a little too tall for her at first but after a few months she grew into it. Glad we bought the bigger size so she can use longer

Pros
  • The bike's sleek design is appealing to young kids and parents alike
Cons
  • The bike is not suitable for children who are underweight

Wheels are strange: my feedback

This bike is cute and my daughter uses it. I almost sent it back because the wheels were warped. They aren’t normal bike tires. They are made of a dense foam (which makes it really light weight)… but they must have been damaged by heat or banged up during shipping or just poorly made. They have a wobble and you can see they warp inward.My daughter really likes the bike though and she can still get around on it so we kept it. The frame is nice. But if you are looking for really high quality… I…

Pros
  • The bike is available in different colors to suit your child's style
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for children with sensory processing disorder

Good Quality Bike on my review.

Simple assembly. Built in about 15 minutes, start to finish. Decals on the main body were wrinkled/damaged out of the box, so we decided to remove them altogether. The grip pads on the foot rests are also not well secured so those also may need to be glued down later. Overall, sturdy balance bike and made my daughter very happy to receive for Christmas!

Pros
  • Not the best quality but it is ok for the price.
Cons
  • The footrests can be difficult to use for some children due to their location

Learn to balance with ease

My son loves this bike. We got it for him when he was just over 2 and he was able to hop right on and easily ride. Also, he is on the small side for his age but with the seat in the lowest setting (with the smaller bike) it was no problem. It didn’t take him long to start lifting both feet and feel comfortable testing out his balance.

Pros
  • The bike's small wheel base makes it easier for kids to balance and stay upright
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for children with learning disabilities

Nice balance bike. good for me

Nice balance bike for my 4 year old granddaughter. She loves it especially being pink,easy to put together, fast delivery.

Pros
  • This bike is an excellent way to build confidence in young children, providing them with a great sense of accomplishment
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for children who have difficulty with visual processing

Wheels warped good for me

Unfortunately the wheels were warped on this bike. And we even tried to return/replace it and the replacement bike that showed up had the same issue. Disappointing

Pros
  • The bike's hand grips are designed to help young children grip the handlebars securely
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for children who are picky eaters

Great little first bike!

My four year old daughter loves this! She will not be needing training wheels when it’s time for a bike with petals. Her balance has improved very much when riding this. It was easy to put together and I love that the tires are foam filled so they don’t get flat. She wears a size four and this fits her perfectly.

Pros
  • The bike has a great resale value since it's in high demand
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for outdoor use in extreme weather conditions

Good value and good bike

Our 3 year old outgrew his 12 inch strider bike and this was the perft next bike for him. It was a good price, easy to assemble, light weight, and he made the transition so easily. He likes the footrests and loves the bright red color. We thought the foam tires were kind of strange but it doesn't bother him, so we'll see how they hold up. Overall we are very happy with this bike so far.

Pros
  • The footrest and adjustable seat make it great for children with different heights
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for children in hilly areas

Great bike, but weak rubber handles.

This is the cutest bike. I love the design (especially the foot rests), the colors, it was easy to put together, but after being set on it’s side a couple times, the rubber handles are already tearing apart. We have a chicco red bullet bike and it took a good year before the handles started to wear out.It would be awesome if the handles were made tougher or at least include a replacement set if they start wearing out this fast.

Pros
  • The bike's minimalist design encourages children to focus on balance and coordination instead of bells and whistles
Cons
  • The bike may not be appropriate for all cultural backgrounds

Not very durable & assembly was difficult

I ordered two of these for my boys (5 &2) and they LOVE them. The bikes are very lightweight, my 2 year old has no problem carrying his around. BUT, both bikes were difficult to assemble. I had a hard time fitting the wheels on them. We’ve had these bikes for a few months now and my younger son’s back wheel keeps locking up. My older son’s frame is already coming apart where the seat is welded to the frame.My boys do love these bikes though, and they have both learned to balance because of them

Pros
  • Its small size means it won't take up too much space in your home or car
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for children with autism
