Radio Flyer Glide and Go Balance Bike, Toddler Balance Bike, Ages 2.5-5

Really liked the bike. Very good quality easy to assemble and very light. Even my 3 year old could carry it.

I bought it for my grandson and he’s 2 1/2. However, I think it’s too big for him. He might have to wait till next year.But we love all Rider Bikes :)

We purchased this for my daughter and so far, she loves it, especially the little bell on the handle bars. Assembly was extremely simple, it took me all of about 15 minutes from taking it out of the box to having it assembled - all you need is an adjustable wrench. You can easily adjust tree seat up or down with a metal lever, and you can adjust the handlebars up or down with the adjustable wrench. This is a quality bike for a great price.

I get that this isn't a $90 Strider. But having put one of those together recently, versus what I dealt with putting this one together... well Radio Flyer could have made theirs a little better without a ton of extra effort or cost.Ultimately, as a balance bike it's going to work very well. So it's probably closer to a 4 on value and a 2-3 on assembly.As for why I dinged it, well the alignment of handlebars and wheel while tightening it is cumbersome at best, ridiculous at worst. Strider has this right, you slip the steerer tube from the fork and the shaft from the handlbars together and put a pin through them. That way it will always be 100% straight. Then when you tighten it down you can simply worry about only fastening the parts together. This bike needs 4 hands to be done right and a ratchet set on top of that. You have to hold the fork and handlebars tightly together while turning two bolts and not allowing the handlebars and fork to separate and become loose in the headtube, or have them twist and become misaligned.Not a great design there guys.Once I got it in place it was fine and the bike is very good for what it was meant for. I just wish some extra effort was put in place for alignment and adjustment. Really unnecessarily complex for the ONLY thing that has to be done to put the bike together.

Got it for my 4 yo who took to it right away. It did help that there are several friends of hers who already have balance bikes and she was able to see how it should be ridden before having one of her own.Cons: rather disappointed that the tires were plastic but then I looked at the price tag and all is forgiven. My major beef though is with the seat. No matter how tight I tried to adjust it, it always becomes a bit crook after a few bike sessions.Pros: affordable, looks good, light weight so that even your child can pick it up, the bell, rides well, and last but not the least, it does prepare your child for pedal bikes.We have this bike for 2 months and my toddler already can balance it pretty well. She would pick her feet up and glide for 15 seconds or more before having to push with her feet again. Highly recommend this bike for the fact that it does what every balance bike should do at an affordable price.
