> 3 dayI got this for my 1 1/2 year old only 2 months ago and he’s already flying down the sidewalk and lifting his feet up! I’m so happy with this purchase!

> 3 dayOur bell was broken and you can push it on but every time the bike is laid down it falls off. Also, it was covered in a strange rust or mud under the plastic cover. It’s as if moisture got in and rusted the inner handles and the rust dust blew out all over bc the bars. Idk that’s my best guess. It wiped off but I think it’s rusted inside.

Greater than one weekOh my gosh! This was possibly the best purchase I have made for my son!! I purchased it May 4, 2016 when my son was just over 2 years old. He was able to pick it up extremly fast and it was awesome to be able to go on walks while he rode this bike. I would see so many parents and kids struggling at the park to try and ride a bike with training wheels, while my son was riding circles around the park. It helped tremendously with his balance, and last month he got his first peddle bike which I took the training wheels off of and he picked that up in a day! Everyone is amazed at how a 3 year old can ride with no training wheels and I recommend this balance bike to everyone bc it was so helpful for my kiddo to understand how to balance vs relying on training wheels. Such a great purchase, a must have for all 2-3 year olds wanting to ride a bike! If you do not want to constantly have to turn a bike, or move the peddles, or stop to help the little one, this is the go to bike for beginners! they pick it up quickly and will soon be able to ride beside you as you jog or walk! At first a lot of people were skeptical of this bike, why does he have a bike with no peddles? then they would see him take off on it and they were shocked at how well he did on it, and now they know exactly why I got it, the balance he learned on this bike made the transition to a regular bike with no training wheels so easy!

> 3 dayThe seat didn’t stay up at first, but then I figured out you have to twist the clamp before securing it. These are perfect, just wish they could do 1-2in shorter so my son could ride his. Guess he will have to watch his sister until he grows that little bit.

> 3 dayThis is the best decision to buy this for my 4 year old girl. She has been using the training wheels bike for 2 years and no result. She uses this balance for one week and can bike herself. Very light weight. And easy to put together

> 3 dayI got this for my 2 year old nephew, hes big for his age and this was still to big for him, but I believe the box says 2.5-5 years. Hell be the perfect size for it in the spring when the weather is nice, so mom and dad appreciated the early birthday present. I love the fact that these are a thing now, and a great alternative to a trike, and this teaches children about balance and makes it a lot easier for them to transition to a real bike when they get older, in some cases Ive heard the kids skipped training wheels entirely when they started with this. The construction is very sturdy. Rubber, air filled tires which is uncommon for kids stuff like this. Heavy duty metal construction with good welds, almost no plastic on it anywhere. Seat actually has padding and is wrapped in vinyl. The seat uses a quick release to adjust the height, and the handlebars can be adjusted with a wrench as well, meaning the bike will still be good as they get older. This is really a solidly constructed kids bike that I feel confident will still be in great shape even after your child grows out of it, in which case itll still bring joy to the next child it finds its way to.

> 3 dayThere is no multitool in the box: It took time for me to find matching tool to set this balance bike, and then I found out that the screws are make of a very weak material..one screw cut in halves. Radio flyer sent me the replacement for this screw, but it took one more week. It was definitely not the best birthday present from me to my child

> 3 dayI ordered five of these little balance bikes for our preschool special needs children, as a variety from a pedaled or four wheeled bike. I was pleased to see how so I took to this like ducks to water. It didnt take me long to put all five of them together, and I am sure that they will last us years, for the children to learn balancing and biking at the same time. Our physical therapist thought it was a great way to challenge their balance, as they used the bikes.

> 3 daySuper easy to put together. I was a little disappointed to find that the wheels are plastic (I thought they were rubber), but I dont think that will really impact the usefulness of the bike. As far as size/height recommendations ....... this was a birthday gift for my two year old. I dont know his height, in inches, but I do know that on his birthday he was in the 75% for height, and the bike is still a bit too big for him. If he sits on the seat, at its lowest setting, he can only touch the ground with the tips of his toes. I suspect that he will grow into by the time hes 2 1/2. If I had it to do all over again I would still purchase this bike. I think it was a good spend.
