Review: Very great bike - Such a cool idea and very high quality build and design. It was easy to put together. Good color options. Very sturdy. Was (is) a bit of a leap for our 2 year olds for their birthday. The idea of balancing is taking them a while, but they'll catch on soon, I think.
Review: Toddler bike - Assembly was not difficult. The quality is very good. Loved that it is adjustable while growing and learning to ride bikes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the actual height from ground to seat top? it says 18m-5y but it would be more helpful to just know the lowest seat height!\**
A: I gave the Strider as a gift to my 3 year old grandchild. However, the bicycle comes with a brochure showing the seat height range is: 11 - 16 in. This is measured using the XL seat post. The handle bar height range is: 18 - 22 in.

**Q: Is the Sport worth the $20 upgrade over the Classic version? Is this bike good for a child 36 inches tall?**
A: The Sport version fits children 30" to 44" tall, all in one package. 18 months old to 5 years old.The Sport model includes the Extra Long Seatpost and Padded Saddle ($15 Value), plus has Easy-Adjust no tool adjustment of the handlebar and seat heights ($18 Value), AND a handlebar pad that just might save you hundreds of dollars in dental bills :)

**Q: How much does it weigh?  What age group is it geared for?**
A: Weigh only 6 lbs. Age group is from 18 months to 5 months. 2 ft height from ground to handle.

**Q: whats the difference ST-4?**
A: This is Kent Jacobs, Strider U.S. Sales ManagerThe ST-4 model is the 2013 Strider model, a great bike for 18 months to 36 months old. If you add the XL Seat Post and Saddle it will fit 36 months to 5 years old.The newest models are: 2015 STRIDER 12 CLASSIC, 2015 STRIDER 12 SPORT, 2015 STRIDER 12 PROThe 2013 model is the same specification as the 2015 SPORT model EXCEPT the 2013 model does NOT include the XL Seat post and Padded Seat.The 2015 Sport model includes the XL Seat post and Saddle, as does the 2015 Pro model.The Classic models do NOT include the XL Seat Post and Padded Saddle

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Toddler bike

Assembly was not difficult. The quality is very good. Loved that it is adjustable while growing and learning to ride bikes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great entertainment
*by M***D on May 10, 2025*

Great balance bike- our 2 year old received it for Christmas at age 22 months and immediately took to it. He was gliding with feet up within weeks although hasn’t figured out the footrest part quite yet (now 27 months old). He did start on a 4 wheel “balance” bike at 10 months so used to the idea, this was a relatively easy transition. He tears around on this now and I have to run to keep up. Well made, adjustable, overall sturdy 5 months in despite heavy (and rambunctious) use.
