Pros:
1. So Lightweight it is easily controlled by an average 2 year old.
2. Hand brake is essential to me to teach that skill early.
3. Solid construction is perfect.
Cons:
1. expensive if you’re buying this to teach balance in preparation for a pedal bike. Your child may learn so fast they don’t use it very long! Probably has great resale value, though, as it is so well made.
2. On level ground, once balance is mastered, it is hard to get any speed to coast for very long without using your feet to push again. This is why my daughter wanted a pedal bike, because it is not designed for much speed on level ground. And obviously, it does not go uphill at all.  Read more...
