Strider PREbike Review plus Giveaway

***Giveaway closed.  Winner notified by e-mail.***

Mister just turned three.  For his birthday, he received a Strider Pre-Bike.

Over the summer we had purchased a 12 inch 2 wheel bike with training wheels on it, and while he can pedal it– with a lot of effort– he generally prefers to either walk with it straddled between his legs or push it down the sidewalk and run along side it.  He doesn’t like the way the 2 wheel with trainers wobbles a bit when he pedals, hence him straddling it or pushing it along.

About the Strider (courtesy of http://www.stridersports.com/)

Designed for Toddlers, ages 1 – 5, the Strider™ running bike is lightweight, easy to control and
features an adjustable seat and handlebars to accommodate a growing child. Most importantly,
the Strider teaches your child balance, coordination and develops glittering confidence.

And the Strider is steady, stable and safe. At the first feeling of instability, your child will
instinctively place his feet securely on the ground. So there are no “tricycle tip-overs” or
“training-wheel wobbles” that stir-up a fear, hesitancy, or dislike of bike riding.

We thought a Strider PREbike would be a great way to bolster his confidence and build his coordination.

He was very excited about it!

He insisted on helping Daddy put it together.

Assembly was quite simple, and in no time at all, he was ready to go.

And judging from his expression, he really likes his new wheels!

This morning, as he rode through the house, he kept saying, “I have to go, Mommy.  I have to go on my bike.”

I can’t wait to see how he handles it outdoors!
