| Training Wheels Tame the Fun | |
| Bicycle was very easy to assemble. My daughter still requires training wheels. The training wheels provided do not rotate, and do not have a rotating axle within a hub. Loosen the nut, and the wheel rotation will unscrew the nut and off comes the wheel. Tighten the nut and presto side by side brakes engaged full-time. We'll see if Huffy has a (complimentary) fix (i.e. real training wheels). | |
| Missing a kickstand | |
| This is a cute bike, and my daughter (who is way into the Disney Princess hype) loves it. It has lots of details little girls will love - spoke decorations, shiny tassels on the handles, a basket to carry goodies, even a purple water bottle. The one thing it doesn't have is a kickstand. This isn't an issue now, since she's using the training wheels, but it's going to be a problem when we take them off. I wish I had noticed before we bought the bike. | |
| A Perfect Starter Bike for your Princess Fan | |
| We just purchased this for our tall almost four year old, and she loves it. It has all the trimmings: iridescent handlebar streamers, a two sided zip pouch with a water bottle, pretty decals of the princesses and little forest animals, and pink and purple everywhere. On the practical side, the training wheels are easily adjusted so she can start out fully stable like a tricycle, and as she gains confidence they can be raised to add a bit of wobble for learning balance. This bike has brakes when you push the pedal backward, and a hand caliper brake on the handlebar (for a bit of extra assurance.) It seems sturdier than her radio flyer was. Samantha started riding on Sunday morning, and by evening was flying down the sidewalks, turning, and stopping like a champ. This bike is definitely a confidence builder, as well as a head turner among the neighborhood girls. She loves it, and your child might well too. |
