Amazon Review: "These were gifts for our twins on their first birthday. Only one understands holding the handles so far, but I have to say we enjoy walks as a family more than when we push their double stroller. The ability to raise and lower the adult handle is helpful between me and my very tall husband. I appreciate that this will grow with the boys for years to come, with the leg protector in these early years into pedals that turn on or off depending if they’re ready to pedal. This is so lightweight it’s easy to pull out of the garage and carry. Weighs less than my toddlers!!!" - Stephanie Bowsher

Amazon Review: "I am a huge supporter of balance bikes. We got balance bikes for our children and they all were able to ride bikes without training wheels much earlier than most children - we have 3 kids. Our second and third had balance bikes at 18 months and were riding full bikes without training wheels before 4 years. The posted video is my daughter riding a bike with no training wheels at 3 years 9 months old. What I like about Schwinn: Good quality / Soft seat is comfortable What I dislike: Heavier than Strider, so kids couldn’t pick up as easily. We had both a Strider and Schwinn balance bike. If I were making a choice and price was fairly similar I would choose Schwinn fir the comfort of the seat." - Mumto5

Amazon Review: "We love this! Took it on two vacations & use weekly on trails at home. A bonus, when your 3 yr old gets tired from riding, you can strap him next to your 1 yr old & put his bike in the rear cargo area." - Sara A.

Amazon Review: "My son disliked his previous helmet (different brand) so that kept him from wanting to wear it and it was a constant struggle to get him to put his helmet on. A friend of mind recommended buying him a "cool" looking helmet to help encourage him to want to wear it. Literally the day this helmet arrived my son puts it on, without me having to ask, it's easy enough for him to put on by himself (he is three), and he is learning how to take it off by himself. The helmet is also well made and I feel good about him wearing it for safety." - CheerHthr

Amazon Review: "This rack fit the bill for all of our requirements perfectly! We were able to fit 4 bikes on easily with a man's bike, a woman's bike and two different children's bikes (note: no adaptor needed which was a bonus). After comparing this rack to the Thule and Yakima versions and scouring through both Amazon and Craigslist options, we ultimately came back to this rack. The positive reviews were great. Since we got it, we have been quite pleased with it. In fact, while on vacation, our extended family members were looking at ours and comparing it to their Thule/Bell racks. Even my in-law was surprised how sturdy ours was, well built, and remarked that it seemed quite comparable to his new Thule rack. The rack carried all of our bikes with no problems (going from NY to RI, then to MA especially through the mountains and then back home). We loved it and were able to leave the rack on the van (no bikes on it), and access the trunk with no problems. Only thing is that at one point during our vacation, my husband stretched one of the straps so much that it ripped. We were able to easily replace it at an affordable cost. Overall, we are quite pleased with our purchase." - ASmart01

Amazon Review: "Can't complain! The rubber strap mounts make it really easy for grab-n-go and fits on just about anything up to 40mm diameter. My favorite feature though is the little clip on the back - can easily clip it to a shirt, backpack, rack bag, hat, etc. USB rechargeable is clutch too so we can make sure they're always ready to go. I tested the brightness duration - it lasted exactly as long as advertised before fading and can be used while plugged into a usb power bank or eBike battery pack. Also great for bike trailers, strollers, walkers, dog leash, you name it. Great value at this price, love these things!" - eBike lover

Amazon Review: "Are you teaching your kid how to ride a bike and have the sudden realization that you're old and your back hurts and start thinking that it's fine if they never learn how to ride a bike? Then you should consider getting this! After installing this handle, it completely saved my back, and I was able to keep the bike upright and help give my son confidence to balance his bike. Also - because you're standing upright and a little further back, instead of hunching over behind your kid holding onto the seat, they don't have the awareness when you let go. So you're able to test their balance, but easily grab back on to the handle, and your kid never knows the difference." - Arthur Stivison

Amazon Review: "I'm impressed by the attention to detail and degree of protection these pads offer for her knees and elbows. The soft mesh lining is comfortable for her to wear, the gel interior provides shock absorption, and the hard outer shell offers superior protection, and they're very well made so I believe they will last her for quite a while. Highly recommend these!" - Sara Ellis

Amazon Review: "The best first bike. I did a lot of research. As an avid MTB rider I wanted my grandson to learn to ride and hopefully develop the same love of peddle sports that I have. I also wanted him to learn as quickly as possible, I'm hoping he gets to the point that we can ride mountains together while I'm sprite myself. This bike has many feature that build confidence and make learning on it safe and fun. The large tires make it more stable. The handle on the rear of the seat, which is for the teacher to grab, is placed there to create a true center of gravity while learning balance. (Even if you can't afford this bike, when you teach kids to ride, never hold their shoulders, it's not our center of gravity and is counterproductive to learning balance, alway grab lower, in the waist area) The fit and finish of this bike is also very stout, it's a firm foundation, which completes the riding experience. This is, hands down the best first bike you can find.." - 10 Cent Traveler

Amazon Review: "For years my husband has voiced the need for an alternative storage for the kids’ bikes (we have 5!) but I was hesitant because I didn’t want it to discourage them from grabbing their bike and playing outside. The kids are now mostly old enough to manipulate their own bike on and off this rack and it is a great solution for storage. We bought the 6-bike one, which is actually two 3-bike hangers. I like this because we were able to mount them slightly apart to allow more room for the kids to maneuver their bikes. It also allowed us to mount one higher for the big kids and one lower for the little kids. The two outside bikes go bars up, but the middle bike has to go bars down which is way more difficult for them. We put the less frequently used bike in the middle. Overall, it was a great solution to getting the bikes off the ground and clearing up some garage space." - Candice
