About this item
- 12” SPORT BIKE; The Sport is our best all-around model. It features mini rubber grips, a padded seat, a safety pad, the performance footrest, and an 11” starting seat height, so your toddler can easily straddle the bike at a young age.
- EASY TO ADJUST; As your child grows, you can adjust the seat & handlebar heights—no tools required. The Sport has a seat height range from 11-17” to fit a huge range of inseam lengths (12-18”). Plus, the foam rubber tires will never go flat!
- WHAT IS A BALANCE BIKE?; A balance bike introduces your child to the feeling of being on a bike, building up their confidence by encouraging striding and allowing them to practice bike-handling skills.
- WHY DO I NEED IT?; Balance bikes are proven time and again to teach kids to ride faster than the traditional method. Your child will learn balance & steering, which makes transitioning to a bicycle with pedals much easier (when the time comes).
- JOIN THE STRIDER FAMILY; Meet the bike that set the world on fire and revolutionized the way kids learn to ride. Children as young as one are experiencing the thrill of riding without stabilizers—before they're out of diapers.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2015Color: BlackVerified PurchaseI bought this for my son early this year, prior to his 2nd birthday in March of 2015! The Strider Balance Bike is amazing!!! My wife was a little unsure at first, but quickly saw how our son was learning to balance completely on his own. He was timid with the bike at first, walked along side it, and got annoyed when it would fall over. Soon after he was straddling the bike and walking around the house. His progression did not take long after that. We mainly stuck to having him use it in the house at first, though shortly after he started using it outside on the grass.
About 4 months ago he started riding it on trails both on and off road. He can now fly around the house, down the driveway, up and down hills, on pretty much any terrain, and he can’t get enough. We honestly have to hide his bike at times because we just can’t take it everywhere. Once he figured out the balancing he started gliding small distances and now he can balance with both feet up for easily 25 feet or more with the right speed. Great construction, awesome design, and several accessories available, one of which we will be adding very soon (the ski attachments). I have recorded several GoPro videos of him out riding and enjoying this bike, so much fun!!! Definitely worth the price!
I do have one suggestion for Strider, in case they read this. The adjustable seat and handle bars are very easy to use, we love this; though some type of height/level marking along the rod would make it even better! As we have adjusted over time for our growing and learning kiddo, it can be difficult to go back to a setting you previously had, or when others happen to adjust the seat, being able to easily adjust back to the appropriate height would be much easier with some type of marking system. I have used electrical tape and this works in a pinch. Thanks!
By the way, be prepared to engage in conversation with others about this bike when you take your kiddo out riding, this seriously happens constantly! You’ll be sure to see you kid quickly flying by older kiddos with training wheels on a traditional bike! Eventually we will transition to pedals, but this definitely seems to be the right approach. Enjoy!!! Thank you Strider!!! Please bring some events to Austin Texas and the surrounding areas!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2024Color: BlackVerified PurchaseOur 1 year old had been using a balance bike and it often traveled with it. For his birthday we upgraded to this bike and he loves it. Took him two weeks to really get comfortable on it. I love all the adjustment options so it can grow with him. Very high quality item that will last for many years.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024Color: BlueVerified PurchaseWe bought this for my son when he was 18 months. He learned to balance himself and stride pretty quickly. Because of this balance hike, he had never needed training wheels whenever we bought him a pedal bike. He has been able to ride a pedal bike since 2.5-3 years old.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great starter bike!
Color: PinkVerified PurchaseGreat bike, daughter loves using it on our walks. She was about 1.5yr old when we purchased for her. Took her a bit to get used to it but once she caught on she loved using it. Love the bright pink and looks like a “big kid” bike and very sturdy. Doesn’t have the pedals (not included) so she uses her feet which is great to learn her balance. Husband is able to adjust the seat and handle bars easily. Definitely worth the price.
** light enough to carry when the kids decide they don’t want to use it mid walk.
