Strider 14x Sport Balance Bike

This bike is eh. I don’t typically write reviews but hopefully this will help someone who is looking to purchase. For some background, my son started off on the smaller strider balance bike and did great. He’s very tall so by 3.5 he outgrew the smaller one so I figured I’d upgrade to this one….mista...

The concept behind balance bikes is brilliant and Strider is, in my mind, the best in the business. My son got his Strider 12 Sport when he was 3 and never had to use training wheels. At 4 years old he had mastered balancing and was outgrowing his current Strider so we purchased this bike along with...

We ordered this bike for my 4 year old daughter. She is petite and figured we would get some years out of it. It arrived and the package was damaged with a spoke popping through the box. When opening it, paint from multiple areas of the bike was worn or chipped off. The few assembly parts were all o...

Great bike to learn on. A little irritated that at close to $200 price DOSENT include the pedal kit. Another thing I wasn't impressed with was the headset uses plastic bushings, really for that price plastic! Even cheapo kid bikes have actual metal bearings. Frame did arrive damaged in front but I w...

The balance bike is good and my kid doing well on it. But this pedal part is too small for him. He can't ride on it. I returned this. I need to buy a new bike instead.

Pedals make it difficult to ride. Looking for replacements but I read in a review they are non-standard. Both kids prefer the Frozen themed Huffy.

It's a great balance bike. Easy to put together. Very good looking. Very fast shipping. I researched long and hard what to get for my 4 yo and had three finalists: Go Glider 2-in-1 (too many bad reviews) and Ridgeback (too expensive for just a balance bike and probably too big) in addition to this. ...

Heavy bike, but okay for our larger 3 year old. He complained about the seat cushion, so we bought a gel pad, but just like for an adult, riding frequently is the key to avoiding a sore bum. We also bought the pedal kit. Pretty soon (he didn’t care to ride it as much as expected) his balance was gre...

Purchased bike along with the pedal kit. My 5 year old had ridden a smaller balance bike prior to this one. Transition to this bike was easy for her. Within a few weeks getting used to the bike she requested the pedals be put on. Pedals very easy to assemble into frame. She rode away using the pedal...

This will NOT transfer the balance bike to a real bike. First, because there is no hand break, it has to use “rotate back break”. This is extremely confusing and my kid will just suddenly being stopped because he accidentally hit the pad in reverse direction. Second, because it kind of still want to...
