An exercise bike? For a 2 year old? I’m all for stopwatches & what not (as an avid cyclist), and will be the first to put flames and a wireless bike computer on my kids tricycle. But there is no way that an exercise bike is a good idea for a kid. What about learning to balance? fresh air? If it’s winter, spend $20 on some kiddie snowshoes & take a walk. For the cost of this thing, you could take the kid to a pool, or put the kid ice skating lessons or martial arts or gymnastics or something. This is just insane and this company should be ashamed of themselves. Kids don’t need to exercise for exercise sake – they need to be play exercising, building social skills with other kids, learning/making up rules, and exploring their world.

This item is a waste of money. I bought it for my five year old daughter and she was to tall to use it comfortably. The tension wheel does not do anything. Save your money and wait until the weather is warm and ride your bicycle outside.

I have an 8 year old son with Down’s Syndrome. His three younger brothers can ride bikes and tricycles but Daniel still can’t. Last year we bought him a Fisher Price video bicycle game that hooks up to the TV, it was great for helping get his coordination but his strength is lacking as there is no resistance on the pedals. My wife thought the option to put some resistance into it would be a great idea to gradually build up his muscle tone. Wrong. I can wind the resistance knob 8 turns yet I could feel very little difference between the easiest and the hardest. The worst part was the pedals. The pedal cranks have too much backlash which makes pedaling choppy. I wouldn’t recommend this.

The concept is a good one, but the bike is still too small for my son who is 2 1/2. He can sit on it, however, and does enjoy that. But, now the seat has broken off and I’ll have to contact the company to see if we can get a replacement. I suspect that the bike isn’t made to be very durable, and I will steer clear from buying this brand of toy in the future.

We bought this for our 2 year old grandson. It turned out to be everything that we hoped it would be. It is sturdy, stable and was easy to assemble. With him just turning 2, we were afraid he wouldn’t be able to reach the pedals, but he was able to reach them fine with shoes on. There is a lot of room for growth on it so it should last him a couple of years. He likes the timer stopwatch that is included with it. He has been riding it daily since and it is holding up well. We were very pleased with the quick and free delivery through Amazon.
