Barbie 16-Inch Bike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I went to assemble this bike (supposed to take 15 minutes -- ha!). Trouble was, the fork for the front tire didn't fit the tire properly. After doing some research, calling Dynacraft (which makes the Barbie bike) and talking to our local bike shop, I found out that this is a common problem with Dynacraft bikes.
The company blamed it on the shippers and said the fork probably got bent in the shipping process. Maybe ... but all they could do was suggest I return the bike for a new one ... or they could send me a replacement part -- one that WOULDN'T MATCH the current bike.
Yeah, right, like I'm gonna do that. It's five days before Christmas, so I bit the bullet and took it to the bike shop. For $35, they fixed the problem in less than an hour and did a check on the entire bike.
Do yourself a favor -- go to a bike shop and pay the extra few bucks for a bike that you know is safe and assembled correctly (and not just by someone at a toy store).
I'll be doing that next time.

Barbie Ride with Me Barbie Bicycle (16-inch) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok, so I want to make it very clear that I am not reviewing shipping. The box came pristine. No dents, tears, or other marks of rough treatment. The way the bike lays in the box during shipping is fine, the fork is laid flat so I can't figure a way being crushed during shipping could be at play.
So the kids have gone to bed, mom is taking the presents out of the closet to place under the tree. Meanwhile I begin the seemingly easy task of assembling this bike. It's really simple. Put on the seat, the handlebars, and the front tire. Buuuuut there's a huge problem: the front fork of the bike is pinched. It's about an INCH too narrow to allow the connection of that front tire. Living in an apartment with no access to a machine shop I have no tools or equipment to bend this thing back into position, especially at 10pm. It's a total show stopper for this gift.
Everything about the bike seems to be of decent build quality. It has a few more things to put together than the other kids bikes I've assembled.
I'll update this review if the replacement bike is so stellar that it overrides the failed xmas morning. My advice is to open this thing up as soon as you get it and assemble it to make sure it's going to go smoothly for you. If its not you'll need time to order and receive a replacement.
