I bought this is a Christmas gift for my 3 year old. He's in the top 10% on his height for his age and there is still room to raise the seat up. My neighbors short 2 year old also fits on this bike so it's clearly capable of fitting a wide range of children.
I bought this for my son because he refused to pedal any of his bikes. I saw a wooden one in a store once and he wouldn't get off of it. I figured this way he could scoot around like he want's to without hitting his shins and calves on pedals he's not using. And he does! He loves this little bike.
The bike is super light. I can lift it up with 1 finger. In fact, it weighs less than one of my laptops. My sons $40 bike with pedals and training wheels is super heavy. The lighter materials well justifies the increased cost.
I've seen reviews on here about the handle bar covers being of low quality but I did not find that to be the case. I'm guessing the manufacturer responded to reviews like this. I've messed with them trying to figure out how they'd rip and I don't see it. The rubber is really thick and feels very secure.
My son scoots around on this thing and it took him all of 15 minutes before he started picking his feet up between strides. He's not ready for a real bike without training wheels or anything but there has definitely been quick progress made on balance. He loves to go to the top of the drive way, pick his feet up, and roll all the way down.
I am very pleased. This bike will eventually be passed down to my next kid whenever that day comes and I will be recommending it to others. Get more detail about Strider PREbike™ Running Bike - Blue.
