Strider Sport 12" Kids' Balance Bike

2 years ago when we introduced this to our son, he wasn't excited at all about it. in fact he cried and cried and cried about how he didn't want it. fast forward to today we can't keep him off it. he went from "walking" it while standing over the seat holding the handlebars. then all of a sudden he sat down and took off! now he goes 100 mph getting smiles from everyone as he bikes along! love this so much!

We’ve bought 2 of these over the years and they are so amazing to help kiddos learn balance. They ride them inside and outside every day. Our 4 year old was able to pick up riding a pedal bike with in 10 minutes after using her strider bike for the previous 1 1/2 years.

This is a good little bike with adjustable handle bars and seat. The problem is, it has hard plastic tires so they are slippery and don't have good tread. The price is also high. I returned this bike and found one with good rubber tires for only five dollars more.

Great little bike. Really easy to assemble.

Good product and good for kid learning to ride a 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.

This is the third bike we have purchased from this company. I absolutely love them for our kids. They were in our opinion easy to assemble. I recommend going with the sport as it has a broader age range compared to the classic. Our sons have a different option but all of these bikes have held up well and taught our kids confidence when riding their bikes. Definitely worth the money!

My toddler loves this bike’ he is still a bit short even on the lowest setting, but he’s only a year and a half and loves learning to use it!

Such a great first “big kid” bike for kids. Our boys love these bikes!

Bought a new from store. Went home and found out it’s very heavily used. Customer service doesn’t care , will avoid target in store purchase

I was skeptical of balance bikes at first, but our 2 year old LOVES this bike. Within a few weeks, he went from walking it to cruising down hills.

Perfect size for my 2 year old.

My two year old seems to love this bike. my only complaint is that I wish the tires were made better, they are peeling after only a few uses.

My son loves his new yellow Strider 12 Sport bike! It was easy to assemble and easy for my son to learn how to ride it. Now he comes home every day asking if he can get his yellow helmet and yellow bike. He's only been riding for a few weeks, but is already getting faster and coasting longer. Thanks for an amazing product!

I wish there was some way to keep the seat and wheel straight when adjusting the height. It lets you turn them leading to a misaligned wheel or seat.

My 3 year old loves this bike, he zooms around and feels like such a big kid. We got this one for my second son who is about 18 months and has been non-stop fixated on “bi-icles!” The only thing I would change would be to make the seat out of a different material because when my younger one was playing with the wheels he bent down and took a big bite out of the seat ( second kids, am I right?) we were able to glue the chunk of foam back in, but still a bummer it was so easily ripped apart.

I like the heights adjustments and loved the bright green color.

I bought this for my child's 2nd birthday. It was a bit difficult for him to ride, so need to practice more. It's light which I felt safe when he falls from it.

My five youngest children all started off with Strider bikes. The youngest one received hers at two years old and within weeks she was trailing behind her older siblings. Every one of the kids went directly from a Strider to a pedal bike at about four years old with no training wheels in sight. They all continued to ride their Strider for a few more years because they’re able to easily go over rough terrain unlike most kid’s pedal bikes. Striders are also awesome because they’re so lightweight you can easily throw them into your vehicle and take them along whenever to go to the park or trails. I would recommend Striders to every parent of young children.

Came on time, just as described. My kid will love it come Christmas!
