Toddler Balance Bicycle 12'' Kids Balance Bikes with Lighting up Wheels, Toddler Bikes for Boys Girls Age 2 to 5 (No Bike Pedal), Pink

I had two boys age 3 and 6 who would not lose the training wheels. Only two weeks of riding on this bike just a few minutes a day gave them enough balance practice to feel confident without training wheels. Two days later, they are both riding without training wheels.

I bought this for a secret Santa child this year so I can't speak to durability. Assembly was quite easy although the nut securing the height of seat is made of soft metal so once put in place, I would worry about constantly changing the seat height. The overall fit and finish was above expectations, well done. The tires are made of a hard plastic vice rubber. My only worry would be how long the tires would last over time. It's a small bike so I bet the kid would out grow the bike before the tires wore out. As a tip for long term use…having the same tires on another item, I drill 3/8th inch holes into the sidewalls of the tires. Then I took some wide-gap spray foam and filled the tires. Let the foam dry and now the tires hold more weight and less flimsy.
