Radio Flyer Retro Rocket Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son received this from Grandma - he loves it. It has a number of sound bytes that are accompanied by lights and vibrations. It's an interesting piece of eye candy - very nostalgic. The only problem with it is that it's not a very good ride on, a good sit on toy yes, but not very easy to ride. Unless your child has an above average inseam, he won't be able to foot power the item, plus it doesn't steer?

Mongoose Missygoose Girls' Bike (16-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After chunking some cheap bikes we owned, I was looking for something more durable for my granddaughter. This bike fills the bill. It's easy for a four year old to ride and holds a thirteen year old fine. A little bit heavy and slower than other bikes so it's not perfect but still good for the price.
After just weeks of use the tires started blowing out and gererally don't hold air. The inner tube would just pop like I put too much air but I use a guage. Checked the rim for burrs but none. Finnally got an airless tube. I think they just don't make them like they used to.

Kawasaki KX12 Girls' Bike (12-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Was looking for a quality tyke bike. Am satisfied with the purchase of this one.
Only drawbacks I found on this were:
** Tacky decals (which easily peel off)
** White tires (which do not stay white for long).
** Loose wheel spokes (tighten while assembling.... most bikes come that way out of the box so it isn't a problem unique to this bike)
On the plus side:
** Has a coaster brake. Liked the look of the Red Ryder, but that one has no brakes.
** Full chain guard. Cheaper bikes seemed OK, but most had no chain guards. Fingers and an open sprocket/chain does not seem a good combination
** Ball bearings in all the right places. Maybe the factory lube is good (?), but I redid them with synthetic lube to be sure.
** Heavy duty build. Good welds and apparently beefy tubing in the frame. Weighs a little more than the cheap bikes for that reason, but it isn't heavy.
Overall, a good choice for a bike and at a decent price.

Bike USA Lil Red Trike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It looked sturdy in the picture but was really made out of material a little thicker than tin foil. Also, a piece was missing that holds a wheel on. It was easy to assemble as long as you don't accidentally bend the metal pieces out of shape. One of our older kids was carrying it and accidentally dropped it in the gravel and it fell apart. We don't have a lot of money either, but my recommendation is to save the money up to buy a better bike.

Fisher Price Grow With Me Trike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This trike is easily put together and very durable. I like how the size is adjustable.
My daughter doesn't quite reach the pedals yet. She is almost 23 months, and in the 75th precentile for her height, so I figured she might fit since its 2 yrs and up. She still manages to scoot around on this trike.
Love it!

Schwinn Boy Bicycle Training Wheels Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These training wheels are easy to install however the bike we have has a thicker than usual bar going to the back of the bike and the training wheels constantly slip and spin around even when very tight. It had a rubber guard so it doesn't slip which is good but seems that the cut out just isn't wide enough for our bike. The other trouble with it is that the plastic chain guard had to be removed to make them work on this bike and there's no way to put back on with them attached, a hazard. I don't know if it's meant specifically for Schwinn bikes or not, maybe that's the problem. I wouldn't have bought again for those reasons...

Schwinn Scorcher Boys' Bike (16-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before reading this, please understand that we sold our car last summer, so our family uses bikes for every-day commuting, be it to/from work, to/from preschool, or just grocery shopping. Bikes are less "toys" for us, than hard-working transportation that must function well!
We got this for my son for the holidays, just before his 4th Birthday. There were some issues with the manufacturer that delayed shipping, but the seller made herculean (and successful!) efforts to make sure the bikes all arrived by Christmas.
My husband assembled this bike late Christmas Eve in the livingroom. While the manual was less than helpful for this (Schwinn, apparently, makes one general manual that covers all types of bikes, and therefore doesn't feel it necessary to make model-specific manuals -- or assembly instructions!), he was able to get it ready in a reasonable amount of time. Like all bikes, it comes with the tires deflated, so I had to take it to get air in them. (Perhaps this is why one reviewer complained the tires were fat and soft?)
I was immediately impressed with how sturdy the bike is. Strong. It looked cool -- it was also going to withstand anything my son was likely to put it through in the years to come!
The first time my son tried it, we discovered the training wheels were set too low: The rear tire wasn't making enough contact with the ground to give "drive". A two-second adjust, and that was fixed.
The low "rise" in front of the seat makes it easy for little boys to get on. The combination of coaster and hand-brakes gives many options for learning to stop. One unexpected "bonus"? The front pegs actually keep the weight of the bike OFF the body during falls!
We've had the bike for one month now. He's gone from shakily riding to the corner while I strolled slowly next to him, to riding it to school (a 3-mile trip).
PROS:
* Sturdy contstruction
* "real bike" quality
* coaster AND full-caliper brakes
* Reflectors
* Quick-adjust seat
* Front pegs make falls safer (who knew?)
* Bike is tall enough for an adult to "walk" without breaking their back
* Can easily keep up with an adult on a full-sized bike.
CONS:
* My son's hands are not yet LONG enough to use the caliper brakes, because the levers are so far from the handlebars.
* Handlebar structure makes it difficult to mount a basket
* Training wheels are loud. (But, then, all training wheels are loud.)

Schwinn Roadster 12" Tricycle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am surprised that Schwinn trikes are not available at conventional stores. This is an excellent product that should definitely be on top of every parent's list. We decided on the Schwinn roadster after exhaustive research considering among other trikes, Kettlers, Italtrikes, Radio Flyer, etc.. but found this to be the best not just in build quality but also great value for the money you pay (Kettler is just too expensive). Our son just turned 2 and we first thought that he might be too small for this trike after reading other reviews. For now he does reach the pedals (he is 27" tall) but has yet to learn how to pedal. He scoots around easily, as the seat is low enough. Assembly was extremely easy - 4 steps, took me all of 10 minutes. It rides so smoothly. We are as excited as our son is with this trike and cannot wait for him to learn to pedal around with it. Excellent trike and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Fisher-Price DC Super Friends Batman Lights & Sounds Trike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 2 year old is still too short to reach the pedals, even with the three adjustable seat positions, but he can scoot himself along. He loves this bike and everytime we go outside he wants to ride it. It has many different types of sounds with simple button pushes....(i.e. turning left, right, batman theme song, engine rev and much more). The stickers really add to how nice it looks but will start to come off if they get wet. He has had it for a couple of months now and it seems to be pretty durable. Of course the wheels start to wear but it's like any other wheel (bike, car, etc) that moves along the ground. The other kids in the neighborhood love it too. I would highly recommend this bike.

Disney Princess Horn Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There was another review in here about this problem. I took the horn out and squeezed it twice to the irritation of everyone and then the reed came out. It is loud and will make people get out of the way for sure. You can fix the loudness with a bit of tape across the holes - adjust / cut to your liking - but then, why have a horn? I took the horn apart and had to shake the horn to get the clear plastic reed and reed holder thing out. Make sure you do this over a well lit surface and not too far from the ground otherwise you might lose the reed. I replaced the reed and reed holder using some needle-nose pliers (be GENTLE!!!! Best to put the reed on top of the reed holder and push it in a bit with your hand then use the pliers). I used some paperboard (a small piece that won't interfere with the reed - maybe from the packaging) and put it under the reed holder to push it up and keep it from flying out again.
The "charms" are held onto the ribbon with "Post-It Note" glue almost, so there was another thing to fix before the kid could use it (wrapped tape around the ribbon). Also, the mount will take the paint off the bike but hold very well.
I do not have another horn to compare this to, and my kid loves this horn as cheaply made as it is so I am giving it 3 stars - it does work. If she did not like it, or was not repairable it would get 1. I mean all in all, I pretty much rebuilt the horn from parts, so unless you are into that I probably would buy it from a department store in case you have to return it.

Glide Bikes Mini Glider Balance Bike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I researched available balance bikes and decided that the Mini Glider is the best for my son. He loves it and couldn't be happier. (He has the blue one, but the color doesn't make a difference.) Here's what sets the Mini Glider apart from the other choices:
- Super lightweight. Shipping weight is 6 pounds. Compare to the 14 pound Kettler Sprint. The lighter, the easier for a young child to manipulate. Watch my son mount, turn around, dismount, and even lift his Mini Glider with ease.
- Foot pegs for ease of riding and transition to a pedal bike. Most brands have no foot rest for training foot position. The Glider Rider Bike has a 10-inch footplate, but my son's shoes are already 9 inches long. His big feet fit on the Mini Glider's foot pegs with no trouble.
- Hand brake. Some others leave this out, saying that the child shouldn't go faster than his feet can stop him. My son figured out how to use the brake on his own. It is helpful to him when stopping at the bottom of a hill. At the end of the video, just before the last notes of the music, you can hear the "Shhh" of the brake as he brings the glider to a safe stop.
- Solid, no-pump tires. With a vehicle this lightweight, you don't need the hassle of airing up tiny tires. These tires are sturdy and give plenty of traction.
- Seat height easily adjusts with the turn of one bolt.
- Minimal assembly required. Simply insert the handle bars, tighten with the included tool, adjust the seat, and go.
- Excellent customer service from the manufacturer. I had a question about adjusting the brake, and when I called the # in the instruction manual I spoke to a real person immediately.
My son is a tall (44-inch) 4 1/2 year old. Not particularly athletic or graceful, it took him until the age of 4 to learn to pedal a tricycle. When he became interested in bicycles, I got him the Mini Glider. At first, he straddled the seat and waddled with the glider. He soon progressed to walking, running, one-foot-pumping, and coasting with his feet on the foot pegs. The video shows his amazing progress from his second day of riding the glider through 2 1/2 weeks of learning. He loves showing off his skills to everyone, and he wants to go riding every day.
Edit: The new model now offered for sale has a quick-release seat clamp. No tool is needed to adjust the seat. They have also made the handlebars adjustable, for an even more customizable fit. Excellent!

Balance Buddy (Adjustable) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We got this to help our reluctant son prepare to ditch the training wheels. We made a deal that he would try riding with the balance buddy for one week, and if he didn't feel more confident, we would reinstall his training wheels. Much to our surprise, after two, 15-minute sessions on consecutive days, he was riding completely independently. We loved seeing our son's confidence level soar to the point that, after 3 sessions, he demanded we remove the balance buddy. Therefore, despite the fact that the balance buddy is a well made, sturdy backsaver, we got very little use out of it.
Instead of abandoning it in the storage shed, we decided to attach it to our 3 1/2 year old daughter's bike, assuming that it would remain there for quite some time. We expected it to take much longer, but after about 8 sessions, she is riding on her own with only an occasional need for assistance. I feel that the Balance Buddy is infinately better than training wheels in helping children learn to balance, as it allows them to sense when they are leaning and self-correct. I highly recommend this for any child who is ready to kick the training wheel habit!!
