5.0 out of 5 stars It may be pink, but this is a tough bike., November 16, 2007

I chose this bike because it's made by a real bike company, Schwinn. There are lots of "pink and girly" bikes out there (in toy stores, etc.) that are made by no-name companies, or bikes branded with licensed characters (Disney, Barbie, etc.) But if you look at them closely you'll see the quality is just subpar. I am an avid biker and I build/repair my own bikes so I can tell the difference. This bike has coaster brakes and dual hand brakes (for both the front and back wheels) while most other kids bikes have only coaster brakes or maybe just a front hand brake. The hand brake levers are made of sturdy metal while most other kids bikes have plastic hand brake levers. The training wheels are mounted on strong heavy-duty steel supports and there is a special locking bracket to make sure the training wheels don't slip/twist out of position. Most other kids bikes have very cheaply made training wheels (thin weak stamped steel) and no locking safety bracket. Also, the frame design with the curved top tube lowers the stand-over height of the bike. This is great for young children learning to ride because they can comfortably straddle the bike with both their feet firmly on the ground. The bike feels a bit heavy but you know that it will last. I had another 16" Schwinn boys bike for my son a few years ago that really stood up to abuse. He has outgrown it, but it's still in great shape so we handed it down to a cousin to enjoy.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but consider buying at a bricks/mortar store, December 24, 2007

This review is from: Schwinn Jasmine Girls' Bike (16-Inch Wheels) (Sports)

This bike was purchased for my four year old daughter. She was thrilled with the colors. The bike is a strudy build and a nice design. I imagine she will outgrow it before we have any issues from wear and tear. The packing for shipping did not hold up particularly well and the bike suffered some superficial scratches and a busted reflector as a result. I discovered this two days before giving the bike to her and replaced the damaged part from a local bike store. As several reviewers noted, the instructions that came with the bike were generic and borderline worthless. Nonetheless, I figured it out (which is saying a lot since I am personally worthless when it comes to putting together kids toys). I am not unhappy with the purchase and my daughter loves the bike, but even for someone who buys everything online, I will probably buy my next bike at the local bike or a Toys R Us store to avoid the issues with shipping and assembly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 1st Bike for 4yrs old and up!, April 4, 2007

We purchased this bike for our 4yr old daughter. We chose a Schwinn because of its reputation and quality and we were not disappointed. The bike is extremly well built and sturdy (3" wheels) and will last for many years to come. Our daughter loves the coloring, tassels and the zippered pouch to hold all of her knick-knacks. The only thing that I did not pick-up on when ordering the bike is that it does not come with "BMX" tires... only smooth ones. So heads up if you live in the country like we do. However, with 3" tires, this bike can go just about anywhere.
