Radio Flyer Air Ride Balance Bike, Toddler Bike, Ages 1.5-5 (Amazon Exclusive), Toddler Bike

I missed return window because this was ordered for a Christmas gift for my grandson. On Christmas Day we were disappointed to find the bike with warped rims, wobbly wheels, and flat tires. We watched videos on how to start a toddler on the balance bike and learned most of the bikes have brakes. This bike does not have a brake.

Such a great study bike. The sticker shoe grip pad fell off the day we got it. But other than that bikes great.

The ad states the bike has rubber air filled tires. I was sent a bike with foam tires. From reading other reviews this seems to be a common problem. Had option to return the wrong one and get the rubber tire bike, but should have been done correctly the first time.

This bike was easy to assemble and is well made. The seat and handle bars are adjustable to change their height quickly with the release of a lever. My 4 year old daughter is extremely tall for her age (about 44 inches tall) and this bike, at its tallest setting, is borderline too small for her. I wish they came in a slightly bigger size for tall kiddos. Otherwise, this is helping her learn how to balance well in preparation for her big-girl-bike. All kids should start with this after a tricycle instead of a small bike with training wheels! It does not have pedals and is propelled by the childs feet. Training wheels do nothing to teach the balance that is needed to ride a bike, and it was terrifying to my daughter to take them off once she was used to riding with them. I highly recommend this bike for a child that is too big for a tricycle but too small for a bike without training wheels.

This thing taught my boy to ride in less than a week. He wouldnt get on his regular bike after the training wheel broke off. I took off the remaining wheel and broken stub from his bike and it sat there collecting dust. I didnt even buy this for him (5 years old) but I bought it for my younger boy (3 years old) but the 5 year old jump on this and began balancing right away. After a few times out with this balance bike, I encouraged him to try his pedal bike but just put his feet on the floor just like the balance bike. He just pedalled away first try. If nothing else, this balance bike encourages confidence! Now my younger boy is learning on it. This one with the rubber tires is much better than the plastic tire version because my boys like to hit turns on this thing and the rubber grips nicely. My buddy has the plastic tire version and his slips out on tight turns. Very recommended. Frank

Good bike for learning on. Bought it for our two year olds birthday. He is still a bit short for it. It is very light weight. Biggest issue is that even with proper tightening, the handlebars still move around quite easily. Love the added bell!!

After looking at absurd prices for other balance bikes, I found this one to be in an awesome price range for something I wasn’t sure about. It was a birthday gift for my almost-three year old. Given about a month early. He flies on this thing. It took a bit for him to get the hang of it, but in true form within two months of fiddling he really started cruising. Now he gets to moving and I can’t keep up. I imagine he’ll never need training wheels when we purchase him his first real bike. The only downside is that the bell likes to fall off and loosen up, it just generally falls apart. My mechanic minded preschooler has figured out how to repair it most of the time, though, and it seems to have taught him a bit about caring for his bike, so I don’t mind the minor inconvenience. But I did take off a star because it’s definitely something the actual product has an issue with.

Got it for my 4 yo who took to it right away. It did help that there are several friends of hers who already have balance bikes and she was able to see how it should be ridden before having one of her own. Cons: rather disappointed that the tires were plastic but then I looked at the price tag and all is forgiven. My major beef though is with the seat. No matter how tight I tried to adjust it, it always becomes a bit crook after a few bike sessions. Pros: affordable, looks good, light weight so that even your child can pick it up, the bell, rides well, and last but not the least, it does prepare your child for pedal bikes. We have this bike for 2 months and my toddler already can balance it pretty well. She would pick her feet up and glide for 15 seconds or more before having to push with her feet again. Highly recommend this bike for the fact that it does what every balance bike should do at an affordable price.

We bought for our 3 year old and she absolutely loves it. She prefers this over her well loved tricycle and bike with training wheels.

I had never heard of a balance bike until a friend told me and oh my word!! This bike was perfect for my 3 year old. He literally jumped on and within no time was zooming around the yard and down the driveway. This bike built confidence quickly and gave way to freedom. He LOvES this bike!!!
