Great beginner bike

It was very easy to assemble. So far we are really liking it, , its not to heavy for my toddler, but it will take him some time to learn how to ride it. The tires material does worry me so we will stay away from gravel.

Pros
  • ❤BEST GIFT FOR KIDS - JOYSTAR Marcher Kids Balance Bike is a pedal-free beginner bike that allows toddlers to focus on balance. With a low-rise frame, EVA foam wheels, soft rubber grips and a soft saddle, this is the best starter bike you can give any budding biker to create the ultimate first ride.
Cons
  • The price may be a deterrent for some parents

Only lasted a little under a year

So sad to say my 2 year old can no longer ride his bike as it suddenly just broke … only last a little under a year The bike may not be suitable for children who have difficulty balancing!

Pros
  • The bike's light weight means parents can easily carry it when needed
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for children who have difficulty balancing

Great for the little ones

This bike is perfect for my 3 year old. She loves it and is getting really good at it. The only think i didn't love about it was the tires. The feel like hard plastic. I would have liked a real tire!

Pros
  • The simple design of the bike makes it easy to clean
Cons
  • The bike may not provide enough support for children with weaker core muscles

Missing a bolt! - my new review

I think this would have been very sturdy and easy to assemble if we had the final bolt that holds the wheel in place! Once we find one that fits, I’m sure it will be a great bike for my niece.

Pros
  • The bike's balance-first design helps children build confidence quickly
Cons
  • The tires may be difficult to replace if they become damaged

Balancing fun - my new review

I purchased two of these bikes for my twins. My husband put them together. He complain a bit but it was done in less than 15 minutes. It has been dropped, kicked, climbed on top of and has not a bend, chip or crack. The seat is easily adjustable as my kids grow which is nice.

Pros
  • Balance bikes make terrific gifts for children in your life
Cons
  • The bike may be too expensive for some parents' budgets

Not a bad bike, hard to build

Not super easy to put together. Instructions are just a series of photos, so when we had a question we just had to wing it, which wasn’t ideal.

Pros
  • Great little bike to start out, girls are two and going on two. They loved them. Bought two!!
Cons
  • Returning the bike because the seat does not raise up as high as the description stated.

A little bigger than I thought

It is very lightweight and easy to put together but it's a little too tall for my 2 year old and it's not as sturdy as I thought it would be. but over all I'm happy with my purchase

Pros
  • The bike's unique design makes it easy to stand independently
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for children who prefer to ride with their feet flat on the ground

Sturdy, light and a good start to riding a bike.

.so far I've been happy with this bike for teaching a preschooler to balance and begin getting the hang of riding a bicycle. One concern I have is that the ties seem to be made of a very dense foam with plastic coating, so I'm unsure of how these will wear in the long run. The upside is you don't have to air-up any tires.

Pros
  • The JOYSTAR balance bike is lightweight and easy for toddlers and kids to handle
Cons
  • The bike may be too heavy for some children to maneuver

Missing parts in my review

It was missing parts and provided wrong parts for the wheel bases. The wheel shook back and forth so we returned it due to it not being able to be properly road and increasing the chance of injuries

Pros
  • JOYSTAR bikes adhere to strict safety standards
Cons
  • The bike may not be suitable for children with balance issues

Great starter bike for toddlers!

My son is on the shorter end of the spectrum, so we have a Little Tikes and Fisher Price motorcycle and he can’t even use the pedals.Lo and Behold I found this bike and it’s perfect! I got it for his second birthday and he’s in love with this bike. The bonuses are obviously he’s practicing his balance, but also there aren’t any pesky pedals in his way!Not to mention, the color is on point! 🙌 Will be buying another one in a year or so when my baby becomes more mobile.

Pros
  • Deduct one start because it not very strong. Otherwise my kid loves it
Cons
  • The handlebars are not adjustable

Good bike for kiddos 3 and under!

I bought this for my 4 year old. But she’s a little tall. So I think it was a little too small for her. I would recommend it for kids under 4 years old. But other than that we love the balance bike.

Pros
  • Families can enjoy quality time outside together
Cons
  • The bike may not be very sturdy

Junk - but the read thing.

My wife and I could not decide to reuse the old strider or buy new (was 6 years old). So we bought the lower cost new. We only use the old Strider now. This is Total junk. The tires are hard plastic, slip. Don't buy this trash.

Pros
  • Kids can learn to balance and steer without the added complication of pedals
Cons
  • The handlebars may be too wide for some children

This Bike is Worth It!

So my son is 18 months and a little short so he couldn’t quite reach the ground. And before you guys parent shame, he does have a helmet, just not for this picture.The bike is awesome! It’s light weight so he can easily push himself around and turn the handles. The quality of the bike is also great. I appreciate that the tires are air free. It’s a small, perfect starter bike. I’d highly recommend for any kid’s first bike.So glad I got this one👍🏽

Pros
  • The balance bike is designed with young children in mind, making it fun and easy to use
Cons
  • The bike may be better suited for indoor use only

Great balance bike to help little ones learn to balance.

I hear everyone saying that the Strider brand balance bike is the best. And of course, it is a quality bike. However, if you are looking for a less expensive option to help kids learn to ride a bike, you can't go wrong here. Sturdy construction, easy to put together, and lightweight. The wheels are nice since they are foam. You don't have to fill them up with air and don't have to worry about them deflating and possibly making your child fall and discouraging them from learning. You can't go…

Pros
  • The bike will grow with your child, as the seat and handlebars are adjustable
Cons
  • The bike may not provide enough stability on downhill slopes

Good quality at a great price

I was going back and forth between this bike and the strider but the price eventually won me over and I just hoped it would work out. Im so glad I did! It is so easy for my 2.5yo to manage on her own and it's the perfect size for her too! It seems to be of good quality and after a month of use it's been great!

Pros
  • Cycling
Cons
  • May not be suitable for children with larger feet

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Light weight and good size!

The balance bike is a perfect fit for my just turning two years old grandson. He can put his feet firmly on the round while sitting on the seat. The bike is also very light weight but not cheap feeling, which is nice for him and makes it easy to transport for his parents. My only negative (which is not really a complaint), is that the directions, listed right on the outside of the box, have spelling and grammatical errors! I'm assuming that it is a translation problem, but it does not send a…

Pros
  • This balance bike encourages young children to improve their balance
Cons
  • Some parents may prefer a bike with a larger weight capacity

Great for the price

Sturdy, and easy to put together. The tires are solid, so you don't have to worry about filling them with air, but they are more of a super hard foam instead of the hard rubber I was imagining. This doesn't seem to be an issue as of yet though. The color is great and bright, just like the photo. We love how adjustable the seat and handle bars are. Overall a great purchase!

Pros
  • Kids can feel a sense of pride when they successfully ride on their own
Cons
  • The height adjustment mechanism may be difficult to operate
