Strengths: Light, teaches balance without training wheels, great colors, ergonomically designed for little kids, no flat tires, great customer service, well made.Weaknesses: Somewhat expensiveBottom Line: After reading all the hype on these, I was pretty sure I wanted to buy one for my soon to be 3 year old's birthday. At his party in a park, a woman walked by with her not even 2 year old son cruising around on one with flawless balance and confidence. The idea is basic; a pedal-less bike much like they had in the 1800s. But the reasoning makes perfect sense. Training wheels teach bad habits and focus on pedalling more than balance. Take the training wheels off, and your child has to learn all over again. With the strider, they sit on the seat and walk along. Eventually they'll pick their feet up and coast along for a few feet, and before you know it, they'll be cruising down hills with ease and a great sense of balance. When it's time for a pedal bike, the balance is already there and they just need to learn to pedal.
The construction is great on these, as well as the smaller grips and seat for smaller kids. The tires are a sturdy foam/soft plastic, and the frame is made to last. Super light and easy to handle for the little ones.
