  • The Learn-to-Ride Guide comes with every purchase and gives step-by-step advice to help your little one go from baby steps to barreling through the neighborhood.
  • It fits children with an inseam of 30-43 cm (12-17 in.).
  • The All-Weather Plastic Mini-Seat stays intact through rain, sleet, and shine.

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).

Q: Does this bake have pedals ?

submitted by Roxana - 3 years ago
  • A: The 12 in Strider bikes are designed for the smallest riders with the shortest legs. The 12 in Striders fit kiddos from as soon as they can walk until they are ready for pedals. This amazing little bike will teach balance, coordination, steering skills and build core strength but it doesn't have the add on pedal option for that your rider will need a Strider 14x and an inseam over 16 inches. Thanks for your question please contact Strider if you have any other questions.

Q: What is the difference between the Strider Sport and the Strider Classic balance bike? There is a description for the Sport on the Target website, but not the Classic.

submitted by Tom S - 3 years ago
  • A: The Strider Classic 12 is the base model, it comes with the short seat post and requires tools to complete adjustments. The Strider 12 Sport is the "Feature-Rich, Mid-Level Model offers every feature a child (or parent) could want with custom grips, padded saddle, handlebar pad, and quick release clamps (no-tool adjustment). It is the perfect balance of performance, options, and value. More than eight years of design evolution and manufacturing improvements all packaged into one model. And with a bonus second, taller seat post for the 3-5 year old child..

Q: What does this mean? " Maintenance free puncture proof tires ". Are the tires made of rubber?

submitted by Bware - 4 years ago
  • A: We get this question all the time. The tires are made of an EVA polymer, which provides two key benefits. First, they’re extremely lightweight for easy control. Seriously, these puppies are half the weight of an air-filled tire and inner tube. Second, and parents love this part, they require NO MAINTENANCE. They will NEVER go flat and never need to be checked; just grab and go!

We love the bike as does our son, however the back tire did not seem to want to go on straight and the front forks did not seem true. It's an expensive bike for a toddler would be nice to see a little better quality for the money.

Had to have a 2nd Strider for our girls

The - 6 months ago
This reviewer received a free sample of this item
This is our second strider bike. The first was a gift for our oldest when she turned 2. Our second daughter assumed that strider when she turned 2 & our oldest got a pedal bike. Our second daughter just turned 4 & didn't want a pedal bike just yet so we got her a new strider & handed the original down to our 21-month old. After riding the strider for a few years, our oldest easily transitioned to a pedal bike without ever using training wheels. The strider is adjustable so they have been able to grow with our kids & then adjust right back to the beginning when the next is ready.

We bought a strider for our granddaughter. Our youngest raced the strider class at the age of 1.5 years old so we thought it was a no brainer. We are very happy with the bike. However, I ordered pink grips and the ones that came were for mini strider??? so obviously they don't fit. Otherwise very happy with the purchase.

We have only used the bike inside so far but love it. Our kiddo loves getting on the bike, practicing riding on the rocker and pushing the bike around inside. It's a great size for our 18 month old. Can't wait to take it outside in the spring.

This strider is perfect for my child. She is 10 months old and loves it combined with the rocking base. She has really gotten the hang of it, and I cannot wait until we can take it off the base for her to start the next step!

Our baby girl loves her bike and we were excited about the rocket option so she can use the bike now at 7 months old. I just wish the difference in the handle grips were clearly stated. I ordered the wrong size.

As a friend put it, these things are "gateway drugs" into biking, which is a good thing. My grandson is just about 6 months now, so I purchased the rocking base along with the bike. He seems to really enjoy it, although he still needs a little support. The whole thing is solidly built. Shipping was pretty quick and it was easy to assemble. All in all, very happy with the purchase.
