No Peddles Prince Lionheart Balance Bike Review
Well, this Christmas I broke down and purchased this Prince Lionheart Balance Bike. It was to be a gift for my son. He is three years old and he has wanted to have a bike ever since he was one. You see he has a older brother and sister that ride bikes every summer and he always wants to follow behind them. Trying to catch them on his tricycle. But he never catches up to them. He just cant get enough speed.
I was terrified to get him anything that had two wheels. I think that he is just two young to have something that can tip over on a dime. So, when I found out about balance bikes I knew I found something that he could use. Especially, since it had no peddles to get in the way. So, I started my research. I read all the reviews and centered in to this bike. It was not too expensive and would not hurt the environment once I decided to get rid of it.
You see first off that the Prince Lionheart bike is all wood. That was very important to me. Eventually, like all bike, they either end up in the junk yard or are left outside somewhere to rot. Either way, his bike will not take away from the environment, but it will all to the environment.
Next, I wanted something that would be easy to put together. You see I read reviews that said other balance bikes were difficult to put together and they eventually just returned the bike. That
was not the case for this balance bike. Actually, the bike only took 15 minutes to put together. The majority of the bike came pre-assembled to my surprise. I only had to install the wheels, the handle bars and the front stem. On Christmas, I adjusted the seat to fit my son.
Finally, I wanted something that was tough. Although, I have not tested this theory, summer has not come yet. But I believe that I have found something that will last at least the two years before he turns 5 years old. By then he should be able to move up to a bike with peddles and join his brother and sister as they speed through the neighborhood.
All in all, I think I made the right decision to purchase this bike. It is very functional and well made. And my son seems to love it very much.
