Product Description
Start toddlers off learning to balance on two wheels with the Strider PREbike. With no pedals and no training wheels the Strider PREbike is powered by your toddler's feet on the ground, just like a ride-on toy, not a tricycle. At the first feeling of instability, your child will instinctively place a foot securely on the ground. The Strider teaches balance, coordination, and confidence, and it provides you and them with more mobility.

As usual Amazon Prime worked like a champ.
Extremely easy to put together and comes with it's own wrench, no tools needed.
4 year old daughter got on and within hours she was already gliding and on her way to riding a pedal-bike, I can absolutely say it moved her balance along. No running beside/behind hoping your kid doesn't wipe out and scream then afraid to get back on "horse".
Perhaps my only "concern" would be: paid $100 for something she rode for a week and moved on to a real bike. So it did what it was supposed to, so the question is was my daughters knee/ elbow skin worth $100- yes.. it appears residual value is pretty good.
Love this! August 22, 2010

I had purchased a Strider for my 2 year old grandson in the spring and my four year old grandaughter Amelia wanted one to. Hence a nice pink one. She was thrilled. It makes so much more sense than a bike with training wheels. The child learnes how to balance but has her feet close to the ground. Excellent product. Very well made. I'm sure they both will last long after the children move onto a regular bike. Thank you.
Excellent! August 7, 2010

Coming up to my son's 2nd birthday I was looking for a good balance bike to begin teaching the basics of bike riding. Honestly, the most difficult part of the process was coming to grips with the fact that he WILL fall down. Regardless of the brand or design the bottom line is that children fall when learning to ride just about anything. If kids can fall out of a bed, they can fall off of a bike. The Strider was not the cheapest balance bike I looked at but also not the most expensive. What really sold me on it was the YouTube videos. Each video seemed to show how naturally the children took to it, so I bought one... and had the band-aids ready. On his birthday he knew immediately that it was bike and he hopped on right away (although not sitting on the seat). Later that day we took him to a nearby school with a running track and let him at it. He did a couple laps without sitting on the seat but walking the bike. Its not that the seat was too high, it lowers to 11 inches and at 2yrs he's in the 75th percentile in height. I actually raised it to about 12 and a half inches to begin. He was just more comfortable walking the bike for a while. We didn't really have to encourage him to sit on the seat, eventually he sort of just noticed that it was easier to sit down and walk than to stand. By the second day he was sitting and walking the bike, and after the first week he was "striding". Its been about three weeks now and he is confident enough to sit and ride and is really developing his balance. His feet stay off the ground a little longer each time he has enough momentum to carry him. He's just now beginning to use the footrests and is starting to ride down some small slopes. We have had no problems with the front wheel turning too sharply. It can rotate all the way around but is just stiff enough to keep him from over-steering. The tires do look and feel cheap but they're not. After three weeks on dirt, sidewalks, asphalt, and grass they still look as good as new once they've been cleaned. The bike is very light, even enough for him to walk the bike himself when crossing the street with us. I would definitely recommend the Strider to any parent. Oh, and he's only fallen about three times so far.
the kid loves it July 31, 2010
