Mom Central received a sample of the STRIDER ST-4 in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own.
Watching our children grow up in front of our eyes is one of the best parts of being a parent. Even at a young age, seeing my son or daughter accomplish something they worked towards, such as learning to tie their shoes or to riding a bike, makes me so proud. Nothing makes me happier than witnessing the beaming smile on one of my kids’ faces after they reach a goal.
My son wanted so badly to ride a two-wheeler bike like the big kids, even when he was two years old! I would never consider it at such a young age, until Strider came into the picture. Strider makes no-pedal balance bikes that enable kids as young as 18 months to glide around the neighborhood just like the big kids. The bikes come in a variety of colors, it even came in my son’s favorite color, bright orange!
Weighing less than seven pounds, the STRIDER ST-4 allows your child to learn balance and coordination with ease of handling. With patented fame-integrated footrests and adjustable handlebar and saddle height, the STRIDER ST-4 build balance, making the transition to riding a two-wheeler more natural.
Now my son can ride circles around his older sister who is using training wheels. He was able to learn to expertly balance on the Strider in a matter of days and is now a total speed demon! Since my son was able to learn the basics of riding a bike on the Strider, he feels more confident> Next summer, I sure he’ll be on a pedal bike without ever needing training wheels.
