I'm surprised by the positive reviews on this bike, especially regarding stability. You can stand next to it and tip it over without much effort since it has such a slender frame and tiny rear wheels. Being maneuvered by a top-heavy toddler, it's not stable at all, especially compared to other toddler bike designs. For an otherwise very strong and athletic kid, it surprises me that my son has trouble with this bike, but maybe it is because he's also very tall? Not sure, but I have to be right next to him as he plays with it in case he takes a tumble and now I definitely need to go out and get a helmet for him. I thought he could putter around the house on it for fun, but not so much.

This is a trike with one of the lowest weight capacities of any I've seen. Even if it "expands" in size, the bike probably won't support a growing child weight-wise. And frankly, the skinny seat doesn't look as comfortable (or as healthy for a boy, anyway) as a number of other options out there. I'd personally also prefer a removable handle, so will probably go get a version with one of those. Even from the same company, they have a model that is lower to the ground with a wider wheel base, a larger seat, a removable handle and also a much higher weight capacity.

All in all, very disappointed with this one and wish I had done more research before buying what looked like a cute little toddler bike. And I now see that Radio Flyer has drastically cut the price on this particular model, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are getting rid of it.

This is our second grow n' go bike. Our first game from a yard sale. I got tired of my children by-passing the (seemingly) 1,000 other peddle-toys to fight over this little bike. We have an open main floor and my children ride these little bikes around and around a 'track' from our dining room-kitchen-lviving room and back.

Why my Kids LOVE IT

-It is soooooo small that my 1.5 year old can use it.

-It is small enough to be less intimating to even young children.

-Easy to use-no brakes-they just peddle backwards

-easy to navigate with. Their other little bikes are more likely to tip over-and these have never.

Why Mom LOVES IT

-Good buy

-Good build

-Easily adjustable-as in-you pull a lever and lengthen or shorten it-so you can change it back and forth for different sized little ones.

-No AIR in tires-no bike pumps, etc.

-They can ride them inside and outside.

-They're light enough to carry in and out if need be.

-Don't leave marks on "my" floorwe have hardwoods that have a moderate amount of imperfections-they are not model home quality (after three kids)-so if these bikes leave marks they are minor enough to blend in with any normal wear.

Only issue-

On hardwoods and with enough space-they can get going fast enough to warrant a helmet.

Product overall was very cute and my grandson loved it and can already ride it because you could easily adjust the seat. My only concern is that he may not be able to ride it as long as he would with a different bike. The customer service from the company was terrific. We didn't receive the bike on the day we were suppose to even though all the paperwork and tracing the package said it was delivered. I called the company and they sent out another one. They were fantastic. They even sent it overnight so I could receive it in time for Christmas. Great customer service.

Honest reviews on Grow 'N Go Balance Bike

I bought this for my grandson for Christmas. It is a little more unstable than a tricycle and the pedals seem to be a little smaller than the tricycle too. He really doesn't seem to mind though, he has been spending a lot of time on it!
