## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to buy one for my daughters 2nd birthday.  She is tall, currently 89cm.  Would the 12" be too big?**
A: U could possibly get away with it as the seat can be quite low.  However, the bike is quite big itself. My daughter got this bike at the age of 4. She is tall too and this was a right size

**Q: Is the height of the handles adjustable or only the saddle?**
A: I am pretty sure both saddle and handlebars are adjustable. This was ordered for someone else.

**Q: What stabiliser  wheels can be used on this bike**
A: Thi is a balance bike. You can't use stabiliziers for this. But we also haave Kids Bikes 12" with Stabiliziers. You can find them in our shop.

**Q: I would like to buy a balance bike for my granddaughter .**
A: This is a great learner bike which is very well made and looks good. It is easily and quickly put together and has many features such as inflatable tyres and rear drum break which aren't found on all balance bikes. My grandson loved it and was balancing within 10 minutes pf riding the bike. For the price and quality I don't think you will find a better bike.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great bike, v good value compared with competitor
*by C***N on 26 August 2014*

I've had a lot of impulse buys since having my child (i.e. wasted a load of money!) and wondered if this would be another. I'd considered wooden ones or Strider (too pricey for me), but had this one recommended by a friend. Our boy got his several months ago but was far too obsessed with his scooter to fancy a go. However, now it's flavour of the month and after just a few trips out round the block he's happy to coast along with his feet up :-) It arrived very quickly (before the estimated delivery window). The box was a bit damaged, but the bike wasn't. It was already part-assembled, so required less work than the instructions implied. Assembly was easy. The paintwork is excellent. He says "I like taking it over bumpy bits best and whizzing on the flat bits". It's now the favourite for parks and forest, thanks to the proper tyres. We're in a hilly area, so I especially wanted a brake on it, even though most balance bikes don't have/need them. This also means he's becoming confident at coasting downhill and coming to a controlled stop. Conclusion - it's fantastic!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best ever
*by L***U on 21 August 2013*

We bought this bike for our son's 3rd birthday last May.We debated which size to buy and eventually decided o the 30.5 cm size. Our son is of average size and this was perfect. The seat and is adjustable so will grow with your child. It is a great colour and appears to be sturdy and well made. Our son absolutely loves his balance bike. It took him a couple of days to get used to it and then he was zooming along. After a few weeks he was keeping up with his older sisters on their peddle bikes. We were absolutely amazed at how he took to it and was even trying to do stunts on it! It was absolutely fantastic to watch. Everybody comments how brilliant it is when we are out. The only negative comment I have is regarding the stand. Our son kept banging his leg against it but it was quick and easy to remove the stand.The following Christmas we bought our son a peddle bike. After learning to balance using his balance bike he got on the peddle bike (without stabilisers) and rode it Immediately! He is now 4 and can ride his peddle bike perfectly. He still loves his balance bike however and will not part with it! He is now trying to do more stunts on it! I cannot recommend this balance bike highly enough. I would say it is one of the best purchases we have made for any of our children. I wish we had bought them for our girls at the same age, instead of going down the traditional route of stabilisers. If you are debating whether to buy a balance bike or a bike with stabilisers I would go with a balance bike every time. The bike star balance bike is a great balance bike, that looks cool and our son is very proud of it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great bike overall
*by E***G on 22 October 2012*

Bought the 12" and the 10" Bike Star (balance) bike for kids; 4 year old and 2 year old.Had concerns 4 year old may be too tall already, but the bike is big enough and with some extra height to raise also.Bikes are strong, good saddles and pretty easy and quick to construct.I was always unsure if better to get proper air filled tyres or synthetic. These bikes have broad, quite chunky air filled tyres. My kids go off track on them and no slipping; also more comfortable ride.Brake works pretty well considering; well made - can get lighter bikes but still very happy with these.The only slight issue was that my 4 y/o hit his heel on the bike stand a few times when starting which hurt; it stuck out a little bit - he doesnt do it any more. Bike stand is now a positive and they do it themselves.If you are wondering whether to get a cheaper bike or spend £10 pounds more on these - I would definately go for these (from my experience). Arrived in 3 days from Germany - still use the boxes as toys.
