Strider 12” Sport Balance Bike

Where to begin... The bike itself is awesome! Very well made, and perfect for your little ones. This bike helped my 1.5 year old learn to ride and now (before his 2nd birthday), he's zooming around the house like a little dare devil. It's by far his favorite toy, very fun to ride! The bike is very lightweight, and the balance platform that comes with it gets the young'ns comfortable with balancing themselves by hanging on to the grips. It's perfect size for 2-5 years old, as you can raise the handlebars and seat. Now, let's talk about the negatives... The tires. They are super slick. If you have hardwood floors, it's going to be a concern if you have a child like mine who tends to go a tad bit too fast sometimes. If they take a corner with some speed, the front tire will slide out from underneath them, and they will wipe out. I ended up replacing the slick, foam tires with some rubber ones from another bike I picked up from a yard sale. If your child will only be using this outside, then you have no worries at all, other than if they're riding on concrete a lot, the foam tends to wear out pretty fast, but of course, they sell replacement tires. Go figure. The second negative. The foot pegs, or the plastic piece where kids are supposed to place their feet when they are riding downhill. At the beginning when my child was learning this bike, he calves ending up getting irritated because when they push off, the calves will scrap the foot holders. I went ahead and removed them because my child never used them anyways. Other than those two negatives, it's a solid bike and I've recommended it to all my friends and family who have small ones.

We are ready to teach our little one to ride an bike early! Figured this would help learning balance and it helps get kids of any age prepare for biking! Easy to put together. Kind of pricey but good quality

Man this thing is amazing built for tough exactly quality easy to assemble the six is perfect for my 1. & 2 yr I can tell my boys will be on a motor in no time perfect bike to get them learning how to balance

I was skeptical about a 1 year-old navigating the Strider-rocker, but she loves it. Easy to assemble. Good quality. And more importantly, planting the muscle-memory seed for riding.

My toddler loves this. gifted for his first birthday and loves rocking on it. Super sturdy for him to climb on and knock around with other toys

Bought this last Easter for my (then) 4 month old as it was on sale and we are a moto family. It did sit in the basement until she was about 10 months old. (She is on the smaller side..) she loves it! She uses it daily now, and dad will take it off the rocking base and push her around to get her use to it. When it’s on the rocker she “rock a rocks” like crazy, not quite sure how she hasn’t got whiplash yet 😂 Easy to take off and on the base. Sturdy enough to where the 55 lb and 70 lb dogs won’t knock it over when having the zoomies and slide into it. If you plan to have a future rider, start em young on this! 👍🏻

Bought this for my grandson for Christmas. I was hesitant due to the price but the quality is amazing! Its a solid bike and I love that it has a "rocker" so he can get used to it . He is only a year old. I forsee it lasting him until he is 5 or 6, depending on how quickly he grows.

Amazing!! My daughter started hopping on hers around 8 months, she’s 1 and it’s still her favorite thing! She can get that thing rocking pretty hard. Super easy to put together and such a good thing for them to learn balance!!

Bought as a gift. She loves it.

Very nice for toddlers. Great gift. Came as described. Strong and durable.

My son loves this strider both on the rocker and off

Nicely made toy bike, however, the rocker attachment clips are not very strong and wears out very quick once the child learns to walk with the bike offing and attaching the bike. Other then that awesome.

Fairly easy to put together. There is some clicking but everything is being held in place. Was definitely a favorite birthday gift.
