    Wonderful first bike! Our son learned to ride his strider balance bike at 2.5 and transitioned seamlessly to a big kid bike with no training wheels at 3.5. Jan 15, 2021

  • This bike is amazing. My son rides it daily and loves it. I need another because he won't share with his little brother. Dec 22, 2020

  • Strider bikes are perfect for kids learning to bike. Our now four year old rides a normal 'big kid' bike no problem and it was super easy to teach her, because she started on a strider! Oct 16, 2020

  • The younger one is better at this than the older one was, but we go for bike rides every week to the park on this. It's light enough for us to carry home when she's too tired, as well! Jul 16, 2020

  • This bike provides the opportunity to learn to balance prior to thinking about peddling. Our 2.5 year old loves riding it and is getting the hang of balancing. May 20, 2020

  • I wanted to love this. I love the concept of them, but so far my kids have NOT opted to catch on. They just get scared or bored and stop trying. Apr 25, 2020

  • I want to love this, I really do! But neither of my kids have any interest. They just can seem to figure out how to use it, Apr 23, 2020

  • Got this for son when he was 10 months. 13 months now and still loves it! He can’t walk yet so I push him. He really really enjoys it. Great purchase. Can’t wait till he uses it himself! Apr 15, 2020

  • Great in theory, my kids age 2/3 haven’t loved it Apr 02, 2020

  • Still on the fence about this one. My daughter isn't super into it, but we'll keep trying! Jan 16, 2020

  • My toddler (2) has been way more into her scooter and hasn't played with this very much. It fits great though and will last a long time for sure. Dec 18, 2019

    We have two and love them both! Great transitional bike to prepare little ones for riding. Tires are rubber so they won’t deflate on you and can go over multiple types of terrain. A Must have! Dec 12, 2019

  • My son picked up this bike and mastered it quick. Its well made and lightweight to carry if needed Dec 07, 2019

  • Our almost 5 year old absolutely loves this!! He rides it all the time, even through the house! Dec 07, 2019

  • This is the easiest way to teach your child how to balance on a bike. My daughter started out with this right from a tricycle, and had no issue transitioning right to a big kid bike. Dec 03, 2019

  • These bikes are a favorite in our household! Both of my children have been using strider bikes since they were two years old. We completely skipped training wheels because of this balance bike! Nov 30, 2019

  • My daughter loved this. The seat is very adjustable. Great quality. Nov 29, 2019

    • Becky S.

    • Watford City, North Dakota

    My 3YO loves this! She continuously improves her balance every time she rides! She is so fast and starting to glide now, even keeps up with the bigger peddling kids! Ready to skip training wheels! Oct 20, 2019

  • My kids never got the hang of this and went right to a pedal bike with training wheels instead. Oct 15, 2019

  • We absolutely love this bike we have the 12" only regret is not buying the bigger one that has a separate adapter to add pedals when they're bigger Sep 14, 2019

  • Worth every penny! Both my kids rode this bike from 18 months to four years old when they picked up a pedal bike without training wheels in one month. Ergonomic, durable, and super lightweight. Aug 30, 2019

  • My son started riding this when he was two and immediately fell in love. He really never felt a need for training wheels with his pedal bike and has been a bike lover ever since. Aug 03, 2019

  • This is so amazing! Please skip the trike and training wheels, just go straight to the Strider. We put our son on a pedal bike the day he turned 3 (bday present), and he's been riding since. Jun 03, 2019

  • Great way to start learning how to ride a bike. Light weight. And helps remove the future fear of falling. May 30, 2019

  • My oldest loves his even more than his regular bike! I will definitely buy for my other kiddos! Apr 15, 2019

    • Cayce R.

    • New Bloomfield, Missouri

    My son loves this bike!! He can ride it throughout the house or outside!! Apr 10, 2019

  • My son started playing with this at 1 before he turned 3 he was riding a bike with no training wheels. This bike is great for learning balance. It is light weight and easy to bring everywhere. Mar 03, 2019

  • Best purchase for a 3 year old! My daughter used this the summer before she turned 3 (September) and by January is riding a 2-wheeler! Jan 16, 2019

  • Want thia for the future Oct 03, 2018

  • Helps kids learn balance. My son loved this bike forever! Sep 07, 2018

    • Jane H.

    • New York, New York

    We didn't get this at first, and then realized our mistake! Within two weeks of riding the strider bike, my daughter had good enough balance that we switched back to a regular bike, and she rode! Aug 04, 2018

  • I don't regret this bike. My daughter has this and she seems to be semi interested in it. She can sort of ride it. But seems more interested in the tricycle Jun 05, 2018

  • I love the concept of this bike, however my kiddo never got the hang of it and ended up never using it. Now he has a bike with training wheels and loves it. Apr 13, 2018

  • My son was riding this independently at 14 months! He loves this more than all of his other toys. Buy a helmet too! Apr 10, 2018

  • Other littles did well on this but our daughter did not. she wanted peddles so bad so we were only using this for a short period of time. Nov 25, 2020

    • Jenn K.

    Best pre-bike Nov 10, 2020

  • Great way to start a kid out on riding bikes! Helps to learn balance. Mar 06, 2020

  • We bought this for my 13 month old. He started using it at 2.5 years old and at 3 can scoot along really well. Love the easy to adjust height and cushioned handles Apr 21, 2019

  • My 2 year old received this for his birthday and is still getting the hang of it, but I think it will be awesome once he can really balance and cruise! Feb 03, 2017

  • Mine got this on her second chrismas. I am still waiting for her to love it 2 years later. I babysat twins who loved theirs and were very fast. The tires don't go flat so that's cool Dec 06, 2016

  • Definitely helps with balance and love that there are ski attachments so we can use in winter too! Bike is perfect for indoor/outdoor use. My daughter is 35" tall and it fits perfect at the lowest. Nov 08, 2016

  • We wanted to love this, but my son was short, and while this was the only balance bike that was small enough, by the time he got the hang of it, he wanted to be on a peddle bike. Oct 23, 2016

  • Got this as a gift. 5 year old son was never able to figure it out Aug 16, 2016

  • Our 4 year old hasn't really taken to this yet. He's used to tricycles with pedals so I think moving along without them is just a paradigm shift. Bike is solidly made and it's easy to adjust the seat. Apr 20, 2016

  • Fabulous bike! Just the right size for toddlers and the lighest we could find locally. Wish it had air filled tires but its still been awesome. Perfect from age 18m to 4 Feb 01, 2016

    • Julia D.

    • United States of America

    Had this Strider since my daughter was about 18 most old. Only now is she very confident, at 28 months old. Very fun!! Recommend it highly. Husband wishes they were air-filled tires instead of foam. Dec 03, 2015

  • This was supposed to be amazing, but my son never liked it. I wish we had just started him off with a tricycle and then got him a regular bike with training wheels! Apr 28, 2015

  • This is a favorite in our neighborhood. My 2.5 year old girl is still trying to figure it out, but I think will jump on soon. Jun 16, 2014

  • toddler loves this. haven't had a lot of outdoor time with it to document progress regarding balance skills, but riding it around the house has been fun. Feb 15, 2014

    • Kevin K.

    • United States of America

    Honestly, any scooter bike is amazing. Our kids went from this to riding a bike without training wheels in a day. I do not understand why these aren't more popular in the US. Oct 04, 2013

  • Q: I'm thinking about getting this for my daughter for her 3rd birthday but she's pretty cautious and has never ridden a tricycle. Should I start with a tricycle or do you think kids are ok going right to a balance bike?

    asked by Lara P. - Mar 24, 2014

  • I would start out with the balance bike. It teaches them how to hold themselves and steer a bike before pedaling, and is a great confidence booster!
