Description

Stride to ride.

While the industry typically uses "entry-level" as shorthand for a non-race bike, we can assert with comfort and confidence that the custom grips, saddles, and other features that set Strider's lighter, more expensive models apart from the "entry-level" 12 Classic Balance Bike probably won't be missed. The 12 Classic is designed for aspiring cyclists from 18 months to 3 years of age, providing a platform to transition from striding to coasting in order to learn the balance and handling skills necessary for eventually piloting a proper bicycle.

The balance bike's sturdy frame is rounded off with flat-free tires, an adjustable seatpost, footrests for gliding, and brake mounts so that — as the young rider's coasting skills increase — a rear brake can be added to keep things in check.

  • A balance bike to ease the transition from toddler to cyclist
  • Sturdy, reliable frame embraces the rough and tumble life
  • Adjustable seatpost lets the bike grow with your child
  • Footrests encourage coasting as confidence increases
  • Flat-free tires delay an awareness of the harsh reality of cycling's biggest hassle

I won Christmas this year with this

    I gave this to my niece in Pink for Christmas and she lost her mind. It definitely stole the show. This is a great entry level bike for toddlers to get comfortable without pedals. Really easy to assemble and my niece was cruising around within minutes.

    Cruisin'

    • Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

    I got this for my nephew and he has turned into a little speed demon with this bike. Crusin all around the house. Why walk when you can ride!?

    Great start to biking

    • Familiarity: I've used it several times

    The 3 year old finally joins the crew with this little starter bike. The size and weight are not overwhelming for this slender toddler. Has been a big hit and the perfect transition to a more complete bike setup when she's ready. The PINK is AWESOME.

    Stridin' in Style

    • Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

    I purchased this for my 18 month old daughter for Christmas. This is her first bike or ride on toy of any kind. At first she would only walk beside it, not fully understanding the concept of straddling the bike to walk with it. It only took her about 3-4 more times to be more comfortable riding the bike. Now she is 23 months old and will grab the bike, lift it, ride it, she can even turn by herself; she absolutely loves it. She loves turning it upside down and spinning the wheels as well. I know this has helped with her balance and I'm so glad we started with this bike as her first bike. This will last her a few years and I know we will not have to ever use training wheels. The bright pink color is so cute and fun, she loves it. A bike like this makes the best gift, start them as young as you can!

    the best

    • Familiarity: I've used it several times

    We got the rocking base and even though my one year-old can't walk yet, he can go on "bike rides!" The best.

    Great balance bike

      The assembly on this is a no brainer and everything needed is included in the box. Every kiddo I’ve seen with one of these picks it up so quickly and makes the transition to a pedal bike a breeze. The adjustments for height is very simple and the wheels that will never go flat make for a low maintenance, long lasting purchase.

      Learn so quickly

        I bought this for my nephew for Christmas and he was a little scared of it at first but hopped right on the next day. It seems like he'll be able to ride a bike soon. This bike is really easy to assemble and has an adjustable seat and handlebar height so it can fit any child.

        Wish they had these a generation ago.

        • Familiarity: I've used it several times

        Grandson loves it. Could not have picked a better gift for a two year old. Already signed up for a race in March.

        Wish they had these a generation ago.

        The best teaching tool

        • Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

        If you want your kids on bikes faster than your neighbors, this is the way to do it. teaching the fundamentals of balance first, this will accelerate your child's abilities better than a tricycle could ever.

        Quality nephew time

          Got this for my 2yr old nephew and we had a blast trying it out. Easy to put together and adjust.

          Best Way to Start

          • Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

          Bought this bike for my nephew who saw everyone else on a bike and wanted one too. This is the best way to learn for him as he learns to scoot it around first and then learns to balance the bike after he gets more use to it. He is a tall boy for his age so I should gone a little bigger but we were still able to raise the seat and it worked out real well for him.

          Start them young

          • Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

          I purchased this as a gift for my daughter's 2nd birthday and she took to it very quickly. I genuinely believe this is a great alternative to training wheels, and you can start their training at an earlier age.

          Her first bike.

          • Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

          Only two years old and on her first hour could balance and steer with ease. A lot of fun and good times coming her way.

          Best first bike ever!

          • Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

          Our son rode one of these from age of 18 months through 5. It was difficult to switch him to pedals because he was so used to pushing.. but after a day of the pedal bike he was off with no training wheels. It's amazing what these bikes do for teaching balance and turning!!

          Awesome first bike

          • Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

          We got this for our son (2.5) for Christmas this year, and since there has been a ton of snow, we haven't taken it outside yet, but he can ride it inside the house like a champ already!
          It is super easy to set up, adjust the seat, and get going on! Helps any toddler get their balance down to get ready for an upgrade to a bike with pedals faster. Definitely recommend!

          Perfect starter bike

          • Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

          Bought this for my niece for her birthday. She loves cruising around on it. Her parents have to hide it from her because if she see's it, she wants to ride it. Definitely the best starter bike.

          Perfect starter

          • Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

          Bought for my nephew, he is 3 years old. It took him about a month to get a hang of it, but now he is cousin all over.

          Perfect starter

          Perfect First Bike

          • Familiarity: I've used it several times

          I bought this as a gift for my cousin's kid. She is 2yrs old and absolutely loves riding it around, no fit issues. The red color is a solid choice for boys and girls.

          Coolest kid in town!

          • Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

          Saw a toddler in PC rocking one of these and knew I had to get it for my nephew. He is a little young to ride it now, but cant wait to see him shred.
