Strider PREbike Balance Running Bike

We chose this balance bike because it can be adjusted lower than any other metal one. The seat AND the handlebars do go low enough for our 19 month old (32 inches tall, 23 pounds), but it is a little too heavy for his upper body strength (or lack thereof). Or it could be a confidence issue with him, as it is very different from his 1st "bike" which is a 4-wheeled Radio Flyer scooter. For now, he chooses his old, comfortable one. We are still very happy with the Strider, as he will grow into it.

I really didn't know if this bike was going to live up to the hype but it DID! My son (3.5) hopped on and took off. Within a day, he had easily mastered walking it and was starting to really pick up his legs. By the end of the month, he was coasting far. Make sure to find some little hills or ramps - that's where I realized he really "got it". I love how light it is and how well it fits him. It's just SO fun!

I ordered this for my 3 yr old daughter and she LOVES it! The first time out she was wobbly and unstable... by the end of the week she was cruising down the sidewalks with her feet up. This is a great bike and I would recommend it to anyone with a tot wanting/needing a bike! It is so lightweight she can carry it by herself and it's a cinch for me to hang in the garage. 5 stars!

We bought this bike for son's 2nd birthday and he loves it. After a few days he was able to go for 2 mile rides with my husband. He looks adorable riding next to my husband as he is so small compared to my husband on his bike. People in cars are always talking to them as they pass bc it's so cute and they are impressed to see someone so small on two wheels. We also get tons of positive comments on the playgrounds from other parents.

The biggest problem is that I can't keep up with my son on foot while he is riding(and we have a baby I have to push in the stroller)so he can't ride the bike as often as he wants to and that leads to serious temper tantrums.

Great bike esp for a smaller child. I highly recommend it!

great bike for beginners- my granddaughter got this for her 2nd birthday - just got on and started pushing. Mygrandson is 2.5 and can go "mountain biking" with his- he goes over little bumps and small rocks an hecan go quite fast. excellent construction- only change we made was to sand the handlebar post a little to make the steering a little easier..
