Balance Bike for 1-4 Year Old, Ride on Toys for Toddlers 1-3, Baby Bike with Basket, Adjustable Seat, 3 Silence Wheels, First Birthday Gifts, Toddler Bike for 1-4 Year Old Boys Girls

We have a 2 year old nephew that loves to ride this thing around. I have no clue how he is able to balance on it so well, but he scoots all over the place on it and has a huge grin as he does so.The assembly was quite simple and the instructions were clear and easy to undersrtand.I think he will be riding this thing around until he graduates to the next size up, I am guessing he will ride a 2 wheeler earlier than his friends due to his exposure to this bike.

Super fun balance bike for our daughter. We ordered it and hid it in the closet to give to her as a gift, totally forgot about it and finally when we gave it to her and started putting it together, we found that it was missing the bolt that hold the seat in place. Not a super big deal, but if you know anything about toddlers, once the gift is out of the bag or box, it must be used immediately or a fit will occur. So of course, papa went top the garage to look through the miscellaneous nuts and bolts box and found something that would fit and work.Of course our daughter got a good 10-15 minutes of good use out of it before she decided it was time to move on to the next best thing and has since forgotten about it. During our play time with it, we did find it to be very sturdy and easy to use. The seat height may be difficult for the smaller kids. The front wheel doesn’t turn a lot, likely to prevent kids for over steering and falling. We were genuinely impressed with the build quality, aside from the missing hardware, it’s pretty sturdy, the pedals snap in with a satisfying pop, and while our daughter still hasn’t figured out pedaling, we’re pretty happy with it so far.

I thought this bike for my three-year-old son. He was starting to be jealous of his big sister’s bike, and I thought this would be a good size for him to try out. Initially, upon taking it out of the box. It looked like it would be a pretty easy assembly. It didn’t have a ton of small parts or screws, so I assumed things popped together pretty easily. Once I opened the instructions though. I found myself confused. While looking over the parts that were included, the pictures made it appear as though certain pieces were already put together, when in fact they weren’t. I included a photo for reference, but the circular white pieces on the top and bottom of the front of the frame looked as though they were already screwed in the place. They in fact were not, and it was hard to tell from the picture which piece went where. The photo in the instructions made it very difficult to tell them apart, such that it took some trial and error to confirm which one was which. Also, the circular piece closest to the wheel has to go on in a certain direction in order for the handlebars and wheel to rotate correctly. This was not clear from the instructions. Again, it took some trial and error to figure it out , and I ended up having to pull pieces apart after I had already clicked them into place. At one point, I bent one of the spring pins out of place, and had to use some pliers to pop it back into the correct spot.Also, the placement of the seat is rather confusing (see photo). The bike came with a wrench, and given the fact that everything else uses spring pins, I assumed it was meant for tightening the seat onto the frame. This did, in fact turn out to be the case, but once again, it wasn’t clear from the directions. Even after I tightened it, as much as I possibly could, the seat is still a bit loose. I don’t think it’s enough to be a huge safety issue given that my son will just be riding it around the backyard, but it was frustrating nonetheless. Also, the picture makes it look like the seat sits on straight, but I couldn’t keep it from slanting at an angle (see second photo). Finally, there doesn’t seem to be any spring pin in the back where the rear wheels connect to the frame. The directions make it look like there are, but there clearly is not as you can see in the last photo. It seems secure enough without it that I feel OK with my son riding it, but it’s still a sign of poor quality nonetheless.All in all, this would be a perfectly fine bike, if the assembly instructions were clearer and it wasn’t missing a screw. My son has still managed to ride it a few times, and seems to like it, so I can give it a couple of stars for that. Unfortunately, the poor assembly instructions and other issues I’ve noted make it such that I cannot recommend it.

We were so, so excited for this one. We'd been playing on a neighbor's balance bike and couldn't wait to get our own. When this arrived we immediately opened it to put it together. However, we quickly noticed we were missing several pieces, specifically the pin that holds the back wheels to the body of the bike. No problem, I jimmy-rigged a screw and nut through and got it put together well enough to ride. But, the front wheel isn't an axel like a normal bike, it's plastic on plastic, solid enough to hold a toddler's weight but unfortunately not constructed well enough for the front wheel to turn freely (see picture). This plastic rubs together and stops the wheel from turning meaning my child is basically just dragging this across the concrete.The frame is sturdy, the kids love the basket behind the seat to hold things, and this bike is very easy to get on and off for both my short and tall kiddos. The wheels are a durable, solid rubber, meaning there is no concern for popping or replacing, and they've held up incredibly well against the concrete, despite being dragged across it due to lack of a turning front wheel. I've found when I really lean my weight on to the handle bars and push I can get the front wheel to turn, but my toddler is not heavy enough, or coordinated enough to brace her weight like this to get the wheel to function.

After ordering this balance bike for my godchild's first birthday, I read the reviews and went into panic mode. I have bought similar 1st bikes for a few family members birthdays and and its been an immediate hit. When this arrived, I skeptically opened it, expecting the worst. I am not exactly the best at assembling anything. Fortunately, I found this to be spot on, as described, thank goodness! I was able to assemble this within 15-20 minutes without any help :)
