5.0 out of 5 stars 12 inch bike better for pre-schooler than trike, April 21, 2007

At 2 my daughter got a trike that we pushed her around on. We got this bike for her at 3 and it was a bit big for her. It was perfect to grow into and now that she has it figured out, she zooms around on it like a teenager. I figured out that the trike was hard for her to manuever because the pedals are actually on the front wheel. This bike actually gave her more balance and she figured out she actually did have the manpower to pedal herself. She is now 4 and still rides her bike everyday, and we ride down to the park on weekends. We are getting braver each day and getting ready to try taking off the training wheels. GREAT BIKE, Great investment and you certainly can't beat DORA, she's our favorite!

4.0 out of 5 stars Adorable Bike, December 28, 2007

This bike is absolutely adorable. The decals on it are cute. My daughter is 2 months shy of 3 but is 37" tall so she can ride this bike. She loves it. I wouldn't recommend it for any child shorter than 37" or they may have a hard time reaching the pedals even with the seat adjusted all the way down to its lowest position. The good thing about this bike is that a 3 to 6 year old can ride it so your kid will get lots of use on it because the seat is adjustable in height. For the price, it isn't bad. It even has a little Dora backpack you rest on the handlebars which is great for holding your keys and things when you are taking your kid out for a ride. Of course, your kid can store what they like in the backpack, but you can probably just store a juice box and keys since that's all the room there is in it.

The tires are nice and sturdy and will need to be pumped up with a standard bike pump. The bike comes with training wheels which are a plus. However, the training wheels are not as stable as one would hope, which is why I gave this bike 4 out of 5 stars. You have to be careful that the bike does not tip over on it's side as it did with my little one. She rolled down a little bump from a stand still position and the bike tipped to the side and she fell. Just be sure and hold your child steady when going down any slope or incline is all--otherwise, the bike is great.

3.0 out of 5 stars A few kinks, but a decent ride, January 3, 2008

My granddaughter loves Dora, so she was delighted with the bike. One of the pedals kept falling off and we had to work a bit to keep it on and it took her a while to figure out how to keep going forward. The brakes are very responsive. Overall, though, it seems fairly sturdy and is a good first bike for a preschooler.
