Includes a water bottle holder on the push bar. Make cycling memories together with the Grit. Enjoy the freedom of riding a Schwinn.

Review: Perfect first bike - My two-year old son recently received this bike for Christmas, and we all love it. Here are multiple reasons why: First, I wanted a quality toddler bike that does not promote any characters (since children tend to grow out of their obsessions) and one that was unisex. All of the Huffy 12-inch bikes were covered in characters, so this Schwinn bike was the winner. The color is more of a burnt orange rather than a red, but it's not blatantly boy and could definitely be used for a girl (since I'm not fond of purchasing everything in pink or purple for girls). Second, I read other reviews describing how helpful the posterior removeable steering handle is, but until my son actually sat on the bike, I didn't realize how absolutely necessary and helpful this handle is for parents of first-time bike riders. My son is very short, but his feet can reach the pedals with the seat all the way down. However, he cannot yet pedal but can still enjoy riding this bike due to the helpful posterior handle. For adults the handle is a blessing because one does NOT bend over uncomfortably the entire time while pushing. The handle allows for easy, smooth, comfortable steering and safely helps guide a toddler who'd rather steer himself. We have comfortably been able to push our son for as long as he'd like around the house or down the sidewalk only because of this handle. Even my father with Parkinson's loved pushing my son around only because of the handle which gave my father support and easy maneuverability. No other 12-inch bike had such a handle, and now that we have a first bike with a handle, I would never consider a first bike without one. Third, the bike chain is completely enclosed. The Huffy bike chains only have a guard on the upper part of the chain, but this Schwinn bike's chain is completely enclosed. And I much appreciate this safety feature since I have an extremely curious toddler who would absolutely explore a dirty exposed chain if there was one. Fourth, this bike includes a bell, and my son loves ringing it as he's riding. Fifth, the seat is an appropriate size for a toddler who is any size. Lastly, the bike was easy and relatively quick to assemble, and the parts are durable and strong.
Review: Portable, grows with child, decent but not high-quality - I purchased this bike for my son for Christmas. He's not quite 2 1/2 and very small for his age, and he can still reach the pedals, though he hasn't quite caught on to pedaling yet. One thing I didn't see anyone mention in the reviews we read before we bought it is that the parent handle pops on and off on the fly (you don't need to screw it on and off, and it's not going to be jammed on there until the day your kid no longer needs it). In other words, you can take it off to stash the bike in your trunk on the way to the park, assuming it fits. Without the handle, it fits easily in the back of our 2010 CRV. The ugly stickers on the fenders arrived warped and dented due to mishandling during shipping (it came in its own box), but they can be easily removed, and the dents aren't a big deal. My husband spent a solid hour fixing a stuck back wheel when it arrived as well (someone less-mechanically skilled would probably have had to send it back). While the fenders are flimsy as others point out, they do serve as useful mudguards. The training wheels are extremely sturdy and hold the bike up with my son on it even when I'm not using the handle. This was way, way better than a tricycle in spite of the minor quality issues.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to take the pedals off to make this a "balance bike" temporarily?**
A: Yes.  It works great as a balance bike too.  I took off the pedals and the training wheels and lowered the seat as low as it would go.  My 3.5 year old loved it and learned to balance and lean into turns on his own over the summer.

**Q: Is this good for a 2 year old girl ?**
A: Yes. I would say this bike was perfect for my daughter.  She was 2 years old when I got it. She couldn't quite peddle and I knew that would happen. Thats why I went with this bike because of the handle. She learned how to peddle and dont want any more help but i still have the bar just for when we come to a hill. She is almost 4 now and I would say its still in perfect shape.

**Q: my son just turned 3 years old ..would this item work for his age? my son his average height**
A: Oh my yes, we bought this for our sons 3rd birthday, it's was the best present so far! We get so many compliments everywhere, boardwalk, camping or just riding down our street! Our son was 42" at 3 years old!

**Q: Do we need to assemble this? if yes what tools required to assemble it?**
A: Yes but the assembly was easy. Follow the direction closley on the handle bar assemly important to get that right. As i recall the rear wheel was already attached to the frame. The front wheel is easy too, just be sure that the wheel locks are used. You will need two adjustable wrenches  a Phillips screw driver and a pair of pliers. Also the tires will need air. Be careful, the 12" tires will take only a little air, don't overfill.  My Grand daughter loves hers. It is very pretty!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love This Bike
*by C***K on February 27, 2013*

I bought this for my 2 year old Grandaughter, it is a bit big for her but she should grow into it soon. If you are looking for a heavy duty top of the line bike this is it. The frame is metal and a solid construction, it weighs about 23 pounds so that should tell you something about the construction. The training wheels are very sturdy, not tippy and it seems as if the bar by the peddles is lower that most making it very easy to get on. Now this is one of the better features about this bike. It has what is called a parent handle, your child can ride on the bike and you can steer and push it from behind. No more bending over and trying to guide the bike for you child. It is easy for to assemble, brightly colored and just a wonderful bike.
