Strider12” Sport Bike - No Pedal Balance Bicycle for Kids 1 to 4 Years - Includes Safety Pad, Padded Seat, Mini Grips & Flat-Free Tires - Tool-Free Assembly & Adjustments

Just buy this bike! Don’t think about it bc it is 10000% worth it. Was sooo easy to put together. It’s light enough for my toddler to lift and move around on his own. Took only about a day for him to figure out how to ride it. And I purchased the yellow one just as a precaution to make it easier to spot him on his bike!

Great balance bike- our 2 year old received it for Christmas at age 22 months and immediately took to it. He was gliding with feet up within weeks although hasn’t figured out the footrest part quite yet (now 27 months old). He did start on a 4 wheel “balance” bike at 10 months so used to the idea, this was a relatively easy transition. He tears around on this now and I have to run to keep up. Well made, adjustable, overall sturdy 5 months in despite heavy (and rambunctious) use.

I bought this bike 7 years ago for my first son. It taught both my kids to balance a bicycle, and they both still roll around on it. The ideal age range for this bike is about 18 months to 3 years old. After three, they were a little too big for it.

Love this bike! Great for kiddos! Good quality and works well with all different ages

It’s great.

My grandbaby loves it.

I did a ton of research on balance bikes for my 3.5 year old. He was ready graduate off his tricycle and I wanted something sturdy but not a ridiculous price point.So let me start by saying I often buy mid-level products. I don’t want a piece of cheap junk, but I also don’t want to waste money on high end products. Especially things that little kids use for maybe one or two seasons.The Strider has been an excellent purchase. I looked at the Woom (which if you’re looking for high end bikes then that’s the one to get), and I just couldn’t justify the price point. I looked at cheaper bikes (like less than $50) and I was seriously concerned about quality and sturdiness.Balance bikes cover a very short period of a child’s life. A couple of seasons is all you’re going to get out of them no matter what you buy.Yes. The Strider has “plastic” (or rather foam core wheels) instead of real rubber or air tires and the treads have worn down significantly with very little use. However, my son has no problems with slipping or falling based on the wheel material.No. The Strider does not have any hand brakes. But honestly: does it need them? My 3.5 year old is using his feet just fine. It’s not like we’re mountain biking with a balance bike. We will graduate him up to a bigger bike with brakes when it’s time.The assembly was simple. They offer lots of colors (anyone with a preschooler knows how important THAT is). And the resting spot for his feet on the frame is perfect. It’s easy to adjust height and he can easily pick it up by himself since it’s so light.My only major issue is that I’ve found the connection on the handlebar to be too lose. It has twisted several times for no reason at all and that’s a problem when you’re trying to learn to ride a bike. I also was kind of annoyed that within 48 hours of riding, the “tread” had already worn considerably on the wheels. It IS a bit expensive for that to be happening.But overall, it’s not cheap junk and it’s not overpriced craziness. It’s a nice mid level balance bike for going around our neighborhood, driveway and back patio. He loves it and I’m very pleased.

Fabulous! Well made. Easy to assemble. My little guy is doing really well. He almost has it mastered! Recommend!
