Description

The Strider 12 Classic is our basic model that comes equipped with our no-flat tires, which are ready to take the punishment that only mud puddles and heavy riding can dole out.  The lightweight, steel frame was specifically constructed for child-level durability and has the lowest seat height in a balance bike, so even the tiniest of toddlers can ride comfortably. The Strider 12 Classic is a great, unembellished choice that gives every kid the chance to experience the simple joy of a Genuine  Strider Bike (at least until naptime). Strider® Bikes have taught millions of children how to balance and ride on two wheels-without the distractions and complications of pedals or training wheels. With over 4 million sold, parents agree Strider is the top of the line balance bike brand!

    Picked it up on Christmas Eve and daughter was able to walk and hold the handle bars and it was simple to assemble and looks like a higher end kids bike does for a great price

    Here I am on Christmas Eve putting together a bike that is suppose to take 5 minutes. Of course I’m missing 2 very important pieces for the back tire. Extremely disappointed that my toddler will not have this Christmas morning.

    We had a strider for my son. He seriously rode the wheels off of it. It was the perfect bike to learn on. Now he has a STACYC. Hoping that those will be the stepping stone to the dirt bike. This purchase was my daughter’s first strider. Can’t wait for her to learn on it. Definitely worth every cent!

    Plastic tires

    SC - 3 years ago
    Bike tires aren't even real tires. Would not recommend purchasing this balance bike. The company needs to use real tires instead of cheaply made plastic tires. Body of the bike was great---fix the tires. Love the idea of the base for little ones.

    We have two children who have used balance bikes from day one and we just bought this for our 1 year old she loves it and it only took about 1 week until she was flying around holding her feet up balancing herself!!

    Very easy assembly! Sturdy! Got it for my 3 year old for his birthday and he loves it. Took him one day to get the hang of balancing it and now I can’t keep him off it. The only issue I have with it is that he is very big for his age so he could probably use a bigger frame, but I knew this would be the case prior to purchasing. Overall, I think it will still accomplish what we want which is to get him ready to ride a bike without training wheels!

    21 month little girl had been hitting her ankles on the trike. Loves to ride but started showing bruises on her feet. Picked up the strider and started walking with it. No more bruised ankles.
