Strider Classic 12" Kids' Balance Bike

Our son is 2 years old and in the 70th percentile for height, yet even with the seat on the lowest setting, his feet only just reach the ground. He struggles to sit fully down on the seat while peddling with his feet. He has to move his body forward off the seat to peddle more easily. Those aren't even our biggest complaints. Our biggest complaint is the bolts that stick out on the sides of the bike (see photo). Talk about dangerous and painful!!! It's gotten to the point where my very fearless son (who can literally fall several feet, scrape his head and knees open and still say, "Ow! Okay, I go play again…") doesn't trust this balance bike and hates staying on it longer than a few seconds. I am sure it's because he is done getting those huge bolts jammed into his body. The designer on this is either childless and/or careless, and I struggle to understand all these rave reviews.

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.

Easy assembly great bike

super easy to handle, my grandson is happy with his bike 😃

Awesome bike super cute

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!

My 2 year old loves it!!!

Got our grandson a balance bike for his 2nd birthday

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.

There is no way this is for someone 3-5. I will return ASAP

Best balance bike! So light and easy to assemble!

Love Strider this is our second purchase for our second child. Love the hot pink color!

Was so excited about this bike, but the piece to attach the handlebar does not fit and couldn’t have the bike assembled for my daughters birthday.

Great value for this item. Easy to order and fast delivery.

Great balance bike . But!!!!!! Seat is way too uncomfortable for a toddler . I wish they added padded cover for that next stage

My daughter loves this bike! Easy to ride!

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.
