Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was not overly impressed with the quality of this bike when I started putting it together. Just molded, hollow, plastic, with little pieces of plastic floating around inside making it rattle. But my 4 year old had outgrown his tricycle but wasn't interested in learning to ride a two wheeler yet. I had purchased an expensive low rider "big wheel" style bike for my older son but it is too big for my 4 year old. I bought this one because the red strip on the front wheel is supposed to add grip--it doesn't really do that. I thought it was rubber but it's just the same plastic in a different tread. But, my son loves it. It fits him perfectly (he is 43" tall and 45lbs) and he was able to ride it right away with no help. Now, just a couple days later, he is able to skid around our cul de sac and do little tricks. I can't imagine these wheels are going to hold up to that kind of play but we'll see how long it lasts. It slips quite a bit on smooth concrete but does fine on the asphalt. And now that the wheels aren't perfectly smooth it grips even better. I recommend the bike overall and will update if it falls apart too quickly to keep that suggestion.
