    We purchased this a year ago for my barely 2YO at the time. He is taller for his age and it was the perfect size for him. We were able to easily adjust the height as he quickly gained confidence riding. Within a few months he was gliding and turning like a pro. This summer he will likely need a new bike but I am sure it will be an easy transition given he started with this bike. The only complaint we have is that the handle bars need to be tightened/fixed frequently. But it didn’t take away from the overall enjoyment for us or our kiddo.

    I bought this for my 4 year old son based on reviews that said it helped kids go right to pedal biking without training wheels. My son started riding it at 4.25 years old and had developed body muscle for balancing by 4.5 years old. He has outgrown it at 5 years old. Very successful purchase and a great balance bike!

    My three-year-old is having a great time with her balance bike. When we bought it she was just the right height to sit on the lowest seat setting. The tires are nice and sturdy and she's having lots of fun with it. Big sister wishes it was her size.

    Absolutely love this balance bike.! My toddler is obsessed. He received it for his 3rd birthday in august and rides it daily. Of course now I realize I don’t have a lot of photos of the actual bike but it’s very nice. Good on all terrains we’ve used it in the woods, roads, side walks and zoos. Easy to toss into the back of a vehicle. We have a Nissan rouge and it fits in the back with plenty of space. If ur thinking of it DO IT.!

    Great quality, perfect size for my 3 year old when they outgrew their first balance bike. Best part to me is how lightweight it is, and the construction of the frame makes it easy for me to carry when the kid gets tired.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This balance bike is made so well and has a great look as well. It’s perfect for teaching your little one to balance on a bike first so that you can skip the training wheels. It’s light so that they can get on and off it by themselves as well.

    Terrible Instructions. I feel like it should have been easy to put together but we ended up spending more time on this than what should have been necessary. Broke a piece that was supposed to be removed but the instructions didn't specify that. Only buy this is if you're handy with bikes.

    Mindful Mama - 3 years ago
    I am SO beyond impressed with the quality of this bike & at an affordable price.. Unlike most competitors. Exceeded our expectations by far. VERY sturdy & durable, unlike several other balance bikes we’ve tried in the past - which were more flimsy & needed constant adjustments. We’ve always loved this brand & LOVE the color options as well! Very happy this company came out with a balance bike. My almost 3yo son is absolutely OBSESSED with this bike! We take it everywhere, very easy to transport. Highly HIGHLY recommend over the more expensive options. Same quality if not BETTER!

    Really lightweight. Perfect size for my 3 year old who is tall for her age (4/5 size clothing). Easy to assemble, clear instructions, good quality materials (rubber tires not plastic!) definitely recommend for those who don’t want to spend too much on another brand.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sturdy and well build. The handlebars stay in place, unlike another brand I tried and it kept getting lose and twisting no matter how tight I got it. It was easy to put together and my son loves using it. Win on all levels.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had never seen a bike like this before, but after setting it up for my 3 year old nephew, I could really see the benefit of it. This bike is pretty lightweight, so it is easy to work with. He has never rode on a bike until this one, but after playing with it a little bit, he got the hang of it. This is a great first time bike. It helps him learn how to maneuver a bike.. he is learning how to balance himself on it and get comfortable with using a bike before he is ready to move up to a regular bike. Maybe by starting out with this bike, he may not need training wheels in the future.. we shall see!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 4 year old has been too scared to get on a standard bike, even with training wheels at this point, so the balance bike is a perfect place to start. This balance bike was easy to assemble. The bike includes the tools you need to assemble. My son has been riding this every day building up his confidence to take the next step. I really like the quality materials used in this bike. It can withstand some rough play from the kids and still work and look great.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this for my nephew for Christmas and he absolutely loves coasting around on it! It’s great for a first like bike that he can actually learn balance on. I think training wheels actually hurt kids’ learning how to ride a real bike whereas this one they can actually learn balance. Great little toy!
