When my daughter first used this bike she said "it's too wobbly" but every time she went out playing with her friends we would just casually leave it in full view and gradually she would use it more and more, she is now a whizz with her first bike and races her friends up and down the drive.

It's great that it has adjustable seat height so it can grow with your child, being red too means that my little boy will be able to use it once my daughter has outgrown it and the new addition of the bell is great for when her stearing means she is about to run someone over - she is only 3!

Would definitely recommend the first bike as a great introduction for bicycles, helps them to gain confidence and practice their balance before progressing to one with pedals.

We had a chance to test this bike with our Isabelle, and I think it is a fantastic product, of very high quality. Isabelle was over 4 years when she started practising on it, and I only wish she did have it much earlier, as it really helps with learning how to get your balance right on the bike. We are keeping it for our second baba, and would definitely recommned it.

My daghter absolutely loves her bike. However, we have also had the same problem with the tyres falling apart after about six months which has cost us £6 to replace. She won't be parted with it though and insists on riding on it regardless of broken wheel. A cycle helmet is a must though as she can go really fast!
