Strider 12 " Sport Balance Bike + Rocking Base

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.

Our Nine month old loves it! Super easy to put together. Took about 10 mins.

I’ve ordered all my grand kids this bike.

Worth the money. Bought as a gift for my one year old. Not even a year and a half later, he's walking with it off base. Fit is adjustable. Easy to assemble. Riding made easy to learn. Easy 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.
