I bought this wooden bike for a preschooler. In less than a year of use I have had to replace the bolts on the steering/front wheel assembly three times. We used a similar wooden running bike made in Germany to teach a whole neighborhood of children (more than 6 preschoolers in a single month) to ride a two wheeler and never had to repair a single piece. This bike has needed a special air pump because the intake gauge is so close to the spokes. Our other pump would not fit. We bought a box of the hex-metric bolts at Home Depot and needed everyone of them to replace ones that have been loss in use. The blue knob on the handle broke off after repeated dropping on the sidewalk, when our little guy jumped off the bike to chase another thought. The seat is difficult to move up and down, requiring two hex drivers and disassembly of two bolts. This makes it difficult to share with different height children. I would pay more for a lower maintenance running bike with an easy seat adjustment, if I had it to do all over again.

My son absolutely loves this bike. But if I were to do it again, I would spend the extra on an aluminum bike. One of the blue handles fell off within a month, and it just gets so worn looking since it's wooden and gets banged up from playing. Again, love the bike, but I would not get wooden again. Have gotten many great compliments on this bike also.
