Scramblebug Beetle

Kids love it

This is pretty straight forward to assemble except for two screws that you need a screwdriver for. That's a little surprising since all the other connectors are spring loaded and don't need any tools. However once assembled it's quite sturdy and the wide stance of the wheels makes it very stable too. All the wheels turn by themselves so this is much more maneuverable than a tricycle with steering handlebars - these handlebars don't turn. I was a bit concerned that the wheels would be too small for our deck which has spaces between the beck boards but, as you can see from the picture, each wheel is actually a set of two spaced far enough apart that if one gets into a crack the other one will still let the bike move so no problem. Since it's so stable it's not as much of a balance bike as other ones, especially those that steer from the handlebars.

It’s excellent and I would give 10 out of 5 stars if the wheels were larger like all terrain stroller tires or like at least 5-6” so it would be smooth rolling at the park or in the cup de sac. The only change I would suggest is adjustable seat height my almost 2 is perfect size but it would be nice as she grows

My little ones struggle to ride bikes without training wheels and haven't mastered a balance bike yet either. This is a great item for them to get used to riding without petals before going to a balance bike and then an actual bike. Even if they don't use this to learn on, it's still fun to ride just for the heck of it. And it's cute, compact, and lightweight, so pretty easy to transport.

Do not buy. Does not work like the video. Cannot move forward. It just goes in circles.

This bike is super cute. I got it for my granddaughters 2nd birthday. I wish it had height adjustment because it is too short and she runs over her own toes so it’s useless! Might be good for a 1yr old if someone holds it while they get on.

A balance bike means the child is responsible for staying upright. This toy has 4 wheels. Maybe they mean because the child can wiggle in the seat? This thing is super good quality. It is so very easy to assemble. Just pop the 4 legs in and go. It even includes an instruction booklet that we never even opened. Super nice product. Would make an excellent gift for toddlers!

This is a fun lil balance bike for small children. My kid is just getting into this manner of toy as he is right on the verge of walking so I was stoked to pick one up for him. It is, at the end of the day, a solid toy rider and I would recommend if you are considering it. Two minor quibbles, tho. No huge surprise, but the instructions are pretty vague so you have to sort some things on your own. The handlebars and back legs of the bike are inserted via tabs that you have to push in that then expand and lock in place when they find a matching hole (like a cane or other instrument where you might want to change the height but need a good lock). Pushing the tabs in is easy enough but I was rotating the bar every which way and pulling it in and out trying to find the locking hole for it. It is there to find eventually, don't give up and go with a less safe toy. And then the wheels on it are just office chair wheels so I'm gonna say don't advertise it as an "outdoor" toy if you want it to be useable for more than a day.
