Adams Boy's Run Bike, Blue/Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We got this for my 2 year old boy after breaking a wooden "run bike" from Germany. My son LOVED this bike the moment he got it, and still does at 3 1/2. Anywhere we went people talked about it, and every kid wanted to try it. This bike teaches kids how to balance on a bike -- something that regular bikes with training wheels don't. Don't be fooled -- a bike with training wheels teaches nothing but how to pedal.
Not only was it fun for my son, but he was able to take his training wheels off his "pedal bike" on his third birthday -- in fact, the glide bike had prepared him so well that he was able to ride his regular bike on the first try, and was riding with ease the first day. (this was at least a year ahead of our other kids who did not use a run bike). He still prefers this Adams non-pedal bike to his regular bike, though, so I guess he just likes it better. The bike is also indestructible. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !! This is probably the best gift we have given based on it's popularity with our kids.

Teach your child the basics of balancing on a bike--a skill that training wheels don't teach--with this Adams Run bike for boys in blue and red. Everyone has to start somewhere, and Run Bikes are a great place for kids to begin the adventure of learning to ride a bicycle. Simple and safe, these little bikes have no pedals or chain and are regarded by many to be the best way to teach children balance before taking on the challenge of riding a bicycle by themselves.
A fun alternative to a sidewalk bike or tricycle, this Run Bike helps to develop balance and motor skills as well as speed up the learning curve to transition to a two-wheeler. It features a long, comfortably padded saddle for multiple sitting positions as well as an adjustable saddle height to fit a wide range of children from 2-1/2 to 5 years old. The bike weighs approximately 8-1/2 pounds.

Smart Gear Smart Balance Bike - Classic Style Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got this bike in the mail for my daughter yesterday. I went with this one because it is not too expensive and because it has no advertisement on it. Walmart and Target are selling a similar red wooden balance bike for 54 dollars, but it has this huge Elmo face on the front. I considered the Skutt too, but went with this one for no real particular reason other than I liked the looks of this one over the Skutt. My daughter was EXTREMELY excited. We just got back from 6 months in Hungary where this type of bike is very popular. Our daughter just turned 2, and the bike is a little bit big for her. She needs to grow about an inch more. The materials seem very good. The only unfortunate thing, which we resolved, was that when the bike came, although it was extremely easy to put together, the front and back tires would not inflate. We suspected the inner tubes had holes, and low and behold, when I took them both out (I can change tires on bikes easily), I found the front tube had a half-inch slice in it, and the back tube had a puncture near the value. Luckily, I had my tube patch kit and I fixed them. I don't know how this happened--whether in shipping or if the holes happened when the bike parts were assembled in factory. But problem solved at no expense and with just about an hour of my time. So thus far we are happy with the bike--just a little annoyed at the company. I wonder if they have quality control that could check for this "tube" problem. I was surprised there are no reviews for this bike so I thought I would post one. I guess this bike is new on the market.

Smart Gear wooden Balance bikes (often referred to as "run bikes" or "training bikes" because they are pedal free and without training wheels) help a child develop the most important skills necessary to later ride a 2 wheel bicycle with pedals: BALANCE and MOTOR SKILLS. Smart Gear Balance bikes were designed to develop a child's balance and coordination by simply allowing the child to sit and walk or run with the bike by pushing with their feet. If the bike starts to fall, kids instinctively regain their balance using their feet. Once they've gained some momentum and balance control they can lift their feet up as they feel comfortable and start cruising! It is also suitable for children who need to be encouraged with motor skill development and therapeutic training. Traditional toddler bikes with "training wheels" don't necessarily train or teach a child how to ride a bicycle. The training wheels are merely a crutch that give the child a false sense of security and merely keep the child busy or entertained rather than actually helping the child develop the necessary skills to ride a bicycle. These bikes are made of birch wood from a replenishable source, using formaldehyde-free glue and non-toxic paints and laquer. Real inflatable PAC-free rubber tires, foam handle bar grips, cushioned leatherette seat and a unique carry handle are incorporated in the bike's body.
