Our oldest son, 3 yrs old has used a different balance bike in the past. We are giving that one to his younger brother for various reasons, and got him the smart balance bike. We got it, put it together and were VERY happy with the height as we have a tall 3 year old, and this will get him through the next year or two of growth spurts. He is only on the second lowest level.

What I am not pleased about is the seat. Its too wide for little legs. He said it hurt him, and stopped riding his bike. So, I had to take the whole bike seat apart, take off the seat padding, and have a woodworker friend of mine cut it down to an appropriate size using his old bike seat as a pattern. Really not happy that after I spent good money on a bike that I thought would work, I had to spend additional time/ effort/ money to "fix" the thing.

Bought this bike for my almost 4 yr old for Christmas and he loves it! From only 6 months of using it he is now able to use his other bike without the training wheels because of his improved balance. He still prefers to use the balance bike when we go out though

This bike is ideal because of the pneumatic wheels and the adjustable seat but is simple and the police design is great

Highly recommended!

My 4yr old son has been using this bike since he was 2.6 yrs old. He absolutely loves it! It's height adjustable which we liked and he was able to glide within two days of using it. My only problem was that since he is a tough little boy and kept using the garage door to stop himself it broke kind of quickly. But we fixed it and away he went! For the money I say it was worth it!

This is a wonderful bike for the starter. I wish they made them in adult sizes! my kids were cruising on them and getting way ahead of mom and dad walking with them in no time! Definitely a worthwhile investment.

We gave this to my son for his 3rd birthday. He's been riding it all summer. He got the whole "balance" part down the first time he rode it. He's pretty tall for a 3 year old and the bike fits him perfectly. He hasn't complained once about the seat.

My son can ride it great! The only thing I didn`t like about it that the bicycle bell didn`t fit. Otherwise, great product for an excellent price :-)

we purchased the police bike mostly because it was less expensive than the classic style smart gear balance bike. We already had one classic style and our twin boys were both enjoying the classic so much we wanted to get another. The police style sits more forward and is not ergonomic--it does not sit like a bike. My one son found it to be painful (in his inner thighs) and complained. We returned it and now waiting for another classic style.
