FirstBIKELimited Edition Balance Bike with Brake, Orange | Balance Bike | Kids Ride-On Toy | 22 Months - 5 Years | Push Bike | No Pedal Bike | Toddler Bike | Age 2, 3,4, 5

A part broke off of this bike. When I called customer service I got a machine. They didn't call me back the same day.I find it ironic that a part broke off this bike with a 5 year playing with it when their promotional video shows a 220 lb man jumping up and down on the bike to show how sturdy it is.Grips fall off pretty quickly and you need to cobble something together to make them stay on.Seat height adjustment is awkward and doesn't work smoothly.Brake is a nice feature but it's large in size and it's quite difficult for small hands of 3 years olds to use.Nice bearings in the wheels. Nice tires. Very, very lightweight. Kids like it.

I got this for my 40" tall son for his 4th birthday. He already had a smaller, wooden balance bike before, but it was heavy and awkward to steer. This bike looks and feels more like a real bike. My son, having already developed a crude ability to occasionally balance on the heavy wooden bike, immediately took to this bike and was two feet up with it instantly. He really loved the appearance. He complained about the seat being uncomfortable at first, but when I purchased a Batman seat cover (with zero padding), suddenly it was more comfortable, so I'm thinking that was just a mental hang-up on his part. It is well built with quality parts. The assembly instructions were easy to understand and follow. I felt a pinch spending this much money on a balance bike, but now that my son is happily riding his around with both feet up a lot of the time, I'm glad I did.

We received this bike on time. There was scribble on the box, which concerned me. But, everything inside was sealed and seemed unused.It took me about 5 minutes to put together at 5 months pregnant. It is very sturdy.My son, who just turned 3 years old and wears 3T fits on it perfectly on the lowest position. The weight is a bit much for him to hold the bike himself to get on. Also, I wish the handlebars adjusted or the seat moved forwards and back in position. As he's riding he pulls himself off the seat onto the frame so he can hold the handlebars comfortably. Some padding on the bar would also be beneficial for any face bumps.These are all minor things that have to do more with his size than the actual bike. Except the padding part for the handlebar.My son enjoys the bike so far. Even with the weight being a slight issue for him doesn't bother him. He says the seat is comfy and he is able to use the brake without trouble. Every day he has progressed with the balance of the bike. I feel he will a pro once he grows into the distance between the seat and handlebar. I am very happy with my purchase compared to other bikes I see the other kids have. Air tires make a difference!!!

Overpriced for the quality. Sent the wrong bike the first time. Promptly replaced. Valve stems for tires are in a horrible spot. The seat adjuster is akward and does not move freely without work. I ordered the lowering kit too. My kid is 21 months at the time.

We ordered this for our three year old son for Christmas and he took to it immediately. Upon opening it to assemble on Christmas Eve we did notice that the rubber seat was lightly scuffed in several places (but hey, no kickstand means the seat will get scuffed eventually). The bike itself was very easy to assemble and once completed, the seat "issue" was not a huge deal (definitely not to the point of worth having it switched out). However, considering this balance bike is a bit on the expensive side, we thought it was worth mentioning. The durability is yet to be tested, but it seems SUPER sturdy and adjustments to the seat and brake are EASY to make. I also appreciate the Apple air-filled tires and more importantly, the addition of the hand brake, which some other balance bikes lack.

FirstBike special edition lives up to the reviews and special evaluations by the experts who say this is the best balance bike. Was a Christmas present to a 3 year old grandson. He is so happy to be able to use it and move himself along. I assembled it and put the checkered decals on it to complete the picture. It was nice that they included two choices of decals. Assembly was easy and logical and quick. Once he saw the bike Christmas was a real treat for him. The safety of the brakes and limited turning radius of the front wheel made it easy safe and fun to see he could control the bike. The wheel will work well on grass, gravel, and pavement. I chose not to place the front basket on and will let him do that when he is ready. Also got the compass bell which will go on at his timing. Wish I had one in my youth but seeing his happines on a safe,indestructable, and fun bike is great to see. Expensive, but well worth it. We will have years of fun.

This bike is so 😎 cool, made with high quality materials, and comes with a hand break! I think this balance bike is designed for 3-year-old, and a little bit tall for my 2-year-old who is 88cm high right now.

As I watched my 7 year old ride leaning 45 degrees on her training wheels, I realized that training wheels are useless. We took off her training wheels, and she learned to ride with me running after her like a crazy person. With our second, we have chosen the FirstBike. We have the one with the brake. My 4 year old uses the brake all the time. The brake is necessary and ensures he stops safely at street crossings. He hated the bike for the first two rides but quickly became a pro and now loves it. I am certain that he could ride a pedal-bike on his own as he has learned to coast long distances. He probably doesn't "need" this bike anymore, but we will let him use it for the full season. If you think it is too expensive for a few months, you might look into other brands of balance bikes. We will be using this for two children and feel it is well worth the money.
