Learn To Ride Balance Bike! Perfect For All Beginners! How The Balance Bike Works: Most children start by walking while straddling their new bike.

As they learn to balance on their own, they will begin to lift their feet up for short distances. Before long, they will be riding along with no problems. Some children only take a few days, others a few weeks to get the hang of it. No matter how long it takes, your child will love learning to ride there new bike.

Great value, but I don't think it'll last

We bought this bike to my youngest son on his 2-year birthday. It was too big for him though. But his brother of four loved it! He had a bike with training wheels which he had used for about three months. The first he did with the balance bike was riding it downhill, immediately understanding how to keep the balance. We were amazed. The day after he could ride his regular bike without training wheels, but because he still has trouble starting and stopping on that one he likes the balance bike more and uses it every day. My guess is he'll use it for another 6 months when I think his younger brother finally might be able to use it.
On the downside, it is a bit too plastic - I don't expect it'll last more than a year or so. It is a bit hard to reach the air ventiles with a pump, actually some of the plastic spoke broke while forcing the pump there.

Great Buy!

We really like this bike. My son has been riding a wooden one for about 7 months, and it is starting to fall apart. We bought him this one, and it a bit taller, and will definately last longer! My only complaint is there is some metal screws that hang out on the back tire frame part. It has been hard for my son because he keeps scraping his ankles on them when he really gets going (he is really fast!) We are going to file them down a bit, and put some kind of tape or something over them. The sturdiness of the bike far surpasses the wooden balance bike...and the color is awesome!

Great bike, great price!

My daughter loves it! She is 5 years old but not small at all even though recommended age is up to 4 years old. I wish I could get it earlier though. It is very well made and very economical compare to other brands, and low shipping fee too! The best part of all, we don't even have to teach how to balance, she enjoys riding and learning at the same time! I recommend to anyone!
