 Great for learning and for fun September 30, 2008
We bought this for our youngest son for his second birthday. He is barely tall enough to touch the ground, even with the seat at its lowest setting, and was scared of it. We knew it would be a stretch for him, but wanted him to have it in the spring. An unexpected benefit was that our older son, who just turned four and who has been riding a small bike with training wheels for the last two summers, adopted it and LOVES it. He wants to ride it all the time, instead of his other bike. And his balance is really developing. We're guessing that he'll probably be ready soon to get rid of his training wheels on the other bike, mostly because of the practice he's getting on this. He also LOVES the "squeezy brake," and didn't have any trouble figuring out how to use it.
It works! September 22, 2008
This summer, we got one for my son, who was struggling to learn to ride a two-wheeler, mostly because we live in the country with no sidewalks so he didn't get to practice much. But after just one week on the balance bike, he was able to ride a two-wheeler on his first try.
Excellent starter bike September 20, 2008
We bought this bike for our 4-year old son, and are frankly amazed at how quickly he learned to cruise and balance himself on it. He will have no problems switching to a real bike, and probably won't need training wheels.
The only thing I wish was a little better was the maximum height of the seat, as our son is fairly tall for his age.
This bike rocks! August 28, 2008

This bike has been a huge hit since the UPS man brought it a month ago. It has been ridden everywhere. There is no more walking outside with my 3 year old son begging me to carry him. He rides. He can even balance while coasting down hills. We have a farm and are constantly going from building to building and out to fields, and this bike has freed up my hands for things other then children. He gets excited to do daily chores because he can ride his bike. It was hard to assemble. The instructions were barely acceptable. We had to take it apart and reassemble it a couple of times before we figured it out. I am glad we chose this bike. The learning curve is non existant,and it is durable enough to withstand mud, rain, rocks, and little boys.
 awesome product August 20, 2008
We got this for my son's second b-day. He's of average (or a bit below) height and with the seat all the way down it was a bit too big. He was still able to walk with it and within a month or two had grown tall enough to use the seat. After 2+ months of riding, he's got the concept down and my husband has to jog to keep up. He absolutely loves it!! It's a great way to tire out an active toddler!! I highly recommend this product. I can't wait to see how much it helps him when he tries a real bike...I wouldn't be surprised if we skip the training wheels altogether. I would have given it 5 stars but my husband (who worked in a bike shop) says his only complaint is that it could be constructed better (i.e., better quality materials).
