We just got a Strider bike for my not yet 2 year old daughter. Thus far, her 5 year old brother has been spending much more time on it than her though!

It's clear already that cost is not due to the manufacture of the bike, it's simple, somewhat crudely constructed, and certainly doesn't have any high end parts on it (the headset is PLASTIC). But it's well thought out- with kiddos in mind from start to finish. I can tell 3 hours into it that it is a hit.

So, no complaints here. Can't wait to see my daughter tearing it up on it!
