Schwinn Elm and Koen Bike or Balance Bike, 12-20 Inch Bike for Kids Ages 2-13, Black, Blue, Red, Teal, Pink or Purple, SmartStart Ergonomic Design, Adjustable Seat Grows with Child, Training Bicycle

Absolutely perfect. My 3 year old son loves it. The best first bike a kid could get.

This 18" bike was purchased for a 4.5 year old (46" tall) who is riding without training wheels. Despite reservations that this bike would be too big, it is the perfect size with the seat down all the way and there is plenty of room to grow.Assembly took about 20 minutes and the only tools that were needed was an Alan wrench, socket set and Phillip screwdriver. Most of this time was actually spent unpacking the bike which was wrapped heavily in cardboard and other protective material. Actual assembly time was closer to 10 minutes. The only fine tuning required was the front break and everything else went together smoothly. I liked how the handlebars are adjustable so I was able to angle them inward for the shorter arm reach.I did remove the plastic number plate off the handlebars because I didn't like the look. Otherwise this is a sharp looking and sturdy kids bike that should be good for two to three years of use. I also liked that it came with a kick stand which most other bikes tend to come without these days.This is a shout out to Amazon Warehouse Deals for a Used - Very Good item that only had a banged up box and otherwise appeared brand new for $60 less than a new bike. Most sizes and colors had numerous items on Amazon Warehouse Deals so there is a good chance you'll be able to save some money on this bike. Funny thing is this item actually came with two sets of pedals, when most items tend to be missing parts, so if you get this item and are missing pedals let me know and I've got you covered.

We bought this for my daughter as her first big girl bike. She was using a balance bike before this. By the way, PARENTS, I HIGHLY suggest a balance bike vs training wheels first. My little girl learned how to ride this bike without training wheels within 15 minutes. I was shocked. She loves it, and it’s well built.

Schwinn still makes a good product although the basket is hard plastic and will crack when the bike gets dropped or my granddaughter falls- it already happened to the same bike bought for her older sister two years ago. But that didn't stop me from ordering the same for my younger granddaughter when she was old enough for a two wheeler bike.The only disappointing thing was that I placed an order for a Teal (& purple) colored bike. What was delivered to my granddaughter was a pink bike which happened to be the exact same bike her older sister received. So the option I had to give a 4 year old was to have the exact bike as her sister and have it now, or wait a week or more to get the color she preferred (and that I had ordered). I felt bad for her as pink was certainly not her choice, but she was too excited to have a new bike and decided not to wait for the right color. Now we need to buy additional accessories to personalize the two bikes for her and her sister (tassels, name plate) so they don't look exactly the same.

I bought this for my 4-year-olds birthday. I researched a lot of different bikes and when I was growing up Schwinn was always the best. It was very easy to assemble. It looks great, the paint seems very thick on it and the tires are beefy. I like the fact that he could use the handbrake is also the coaster break. The training wheels do not fall off which is nice compared to third-party stuff.

We got this one for our granddaughter's fifth birthday and it was a hit. It was super easy to assemble and the design and sturdiness of the bike was excellent. Schwinn has always been a good name for bikes so I felt this was a good choice for her first two wheeler. She had an easy time riding and loved it. In fact, it was such a hit that we bought a second one for her sister who will be turning 3 this month. She's tall for her age and loved riding her sister's bike. She chose a different color and is really happy with it. Only downside is the lack of a kick stand which we will need once the training wheels come off. It would be nice to have a matching stand rather than the chrome color that can be purchased separately. The basket is also a bit flimsy and could break after several falls once the training wheels come off and the bike hits the ground. These are all minor inconveniences as the overall quality of the bike seems really good. It's only our first month so we'll have to see how the two bikes hold up after this summer.
