Parent"s and reviewers agree that balance bikes are the best way to teach a child to ride!! * Lower cross bar allows for easier mount and dismount of the bike. While the unique foot board encourages the child to lift his feet in the same way as a peddled bike. * Quality air-filled tires on lightweight alloy rims! Don"t be fooled by foams or plastics! * Steering limiter to compensate for a toddler"s tendency to over-steer! * Specifications (approximate): saddle height: 13.8-16.5" handlebar height: 21.7-24.4" weight: 10.5lbs. Recommended for child"s inseam of approximately 14-17" (inches).
