Strider Balance Bike Review & Giveaway!! (ends 2/14)

February 6, 2014 By Africa

Strider Balance Bikes

Disclosure: A Strider Balance Bike was provided for me in order to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines

Spring and summer will be here before we know it (I hope), and the kids will be ready to get outside and play after been cooped up for the long winter months.  I am excited to tell you about this amazing product for them to jump onto and start working out some of that energy 🙂 The Strider Balance Bike!!

The Strider Balance Bike is perfect for your little one from as young as 18 months, to teach them how to ride on two wheels.  What I’ve think is a great feature of the Strider Balance Bike is that your little one is able to focus on balancing themselves without also trying to learn how to pedal the bike – that’s a lot of moving parts for a little child to master.

With the Strider Balance Bike they are focusing on learning how to balance, how to lean the bike, and how to steer it (hopefully without going into your flower bed 🙂 !).  Your child can use their feet as needed to make them more comfortable as they’re building their confidence, learning at their pace!!

Just take a look at little Elliot’s face as she is working on mastering the art of riding a bike – anything that can put a smile that big on my niece’s face is a WIN in my book!!  (Yes the picture was taken indoors because attempting to have her ride outside in Minnesota in January’s 20 below zero wind chills wasn’t going to happen, even though she did ask to go ride outside).

Its weight – At just 6.7lbs Elliot was easily able to get it turned around when she reached the end of the hallway, and I know that this summer she’ll have no issues getting it out of the garage to where she can get on it and zoom around.
The seat – I’ve seen a few different push bikes, but the Strider Balance Bike definitely has the lowest seat out there, which means your little one can start  using it at a younger age (18 months plus).
The seat & handlebars – You are able to adjust both as your little one grows, which allows them to use the bike until roughly age 5.  We know how much I love products that grow with our little ones, giving us true value for our money.
Ease of assembly – take a look at the pictures below, the first shows how the bike came right after taking it out of the box, the second shows the bike assembled.  I was able to assemble the entire bike by myself, without tools!!  If you know me, you’ll know I am NOT good at things that require tools, so the ease with which this bike was assembled was fantastic!!

Now I am sure you cannot wait to get your hands on one of these amazing bikes for your little ones to start learning how to ride, and you can do it by clicking HERE to purchase one of the 6 great colors they come in (or more than one) – for your little ones, for just $109.  As always, make sure you stop by and like the Strider Balance Bike Facebook page to be kept up to date on all of their product developments and special offers.

    These bikes are so great. I wish we would have had these when my boys were little. It is so great that this one bike will grow with the child starting around 2 to 5 yrs of age. I really love that it is so light weight that the kids and handle it themselves. That is a really great feature of the bike.. Just great!! Thanks for the chance..
