The training wheels provide stability as they learn to ride, while the saddle and slack seat tube angle allow for easy adjustment as your child grows. It also includes both a rear coaster brake for intuitive stopping, and front and rear hand brakes to ease the transition to a bigger, hand-brake-only bike. And like all Schwinn bikes, the Valve comes with a limited lifetime warranty for as long as you own the bike. Teach your child to ride on a bike they’ll love with the Schwinn Valve.

Q: Does this bike have real rubber tires and a somewhat comfortable seat? Looking for a nicer quality bike for my three year old.

submitted by Hollywood - 3 years ago
  • A: Hi Hollywood, Yes, the tires are made of real rubber!! The seat comfort is a rider preference but for a three year old most would say it is a comfortable seat. Have a great day!

    submitted bySchwinn - 3 years ago

Q: Does the bike come assembled?

submitted by Why - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi, Your local Target may have the bike in stock and pre-assembled. If you order online, we recommend reaching out to to your local Target Guest Services for assembly options as the bikes are only partially assembled. Assembly would include attaching the front wheel, handlebars, pedals, seat, and training wheel. These steps are outlined in the manual and can be done easily at home. Thanks, Alex

Q: Do the specifications include the difference of size of arm length and leg lengths when the seat is extended to the maximum? And is the maximum weight capacity truly 140 pounds? Also the size chart varies very much.

submitted by mommabear - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi Mommabear, we do not have the full range in height differences with the seat extended. Yes, the bike can hold up to 140 lbs. For sizing, the best measurement would go by their inseam length but we do give a range for height 26"-38". Furthermore we can help with any questions at 800-626-2811 Monday-Friday 8am-5pm CST.

Q: I bought this bike for my kid yesterday but the pedals are very strong he cant even move them for a 3 years old. Should i return it or is it from the way i assemble. Thanks

submitted by Senait - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi Senait, Apologies on the delay, I hope your child was able to ride the bike safely and comfortably. The initial push is always a bit more difficult then when they are already pedaling. The manual provided has step by step instructions. We can also help with further questions at 800-626-2811 Monday-Friday 8am-5pm CST. Thanks, Alex

Q: The details on this specific bike are contradictory. In one section it states it comes unassembled but in another it states no assembly required. Which would it be if I ordered it online? I really don’t want to have to build a bicycle.

submitted by Robert N - 5 years ago
  • A: Hi Robert, Thank you for bringing that to our attention. I am working to get the information corrected. The bike would arrive partially assembled. You would need to attach the pedals, seat, handlebars, front wheel, and training wheels. The assembly steps are outlined in detail in the manual as are the initial brake adjustments. You can also reach out to your local Target Guest Services for assembly help. Should you choose to assemble the bike yourself, we're available Monday-Friday 8am-5pm CST at 800-626-2811 to help with any questions you may have. Thanks, Jen

Hard to pedal

BoyMom - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
This bike is very hard to pedal. My 2 year old was crusing on a 16" trek bike but it was too big. We bought this bike so it would fit better. He could barely pedal it. The back wheel barely turns when you turn the pedal. It doesn't free spin. Wouldn't recommend for a new rider.

Missing Parts

1 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
Marie G - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
Would not recommend. We bought this bike twice hoping the first one was just a dud. First bike was missing one pedal and the caps on the valves to keep air in the tire. Target was great in accepting the bike back and we grabbed a new box. Get home to put it together, having the hardest time putting the peddles on and again missing the caps to the valves. My son was so excited to see the bike but once again disappointed that we can’t keep it. Will not be buying for a third time.
1 reply from SchwinnCustomerSupport team - 2 years ago
Hi Marie! I am sorry to hear that! All of our 12-inch bikes do not come with valve caps- as they are a choking hazard for littles. Please reach out to us at 800-626-2811 Monday-Friday 7 am-6 pm CST. for assistance with your pedals- we are happy to help!

Love the size and color of this bike, purchased for a 2.5 yr old and size works well. Seat is at lowest setting but the child is Abel to easily get on and off. Only negatives were that the instructions were not clear, and seemed to be for multiple models, none of which were this particular bike, and the steering is a little tight regardless of adjustment but it may loosen up over time.
