a little deceptive

I purchased this for my daughters 2nd birthday. It is a beautiful bike. She was 31" tall at the time and I assumed she would be able to ride it. Still at 25 months and 32" she is too short to push the bike on her own. It is taking up storage space in my closet. I wish I would have seen the Strider before I made my purchase. The seat seems to go a lot lower on their models. DARN!

Saw the Skuut on Sesame Street
Reviewer: Anonymous ,

I first saw a "walking bike" on Sesame Street, when
Grover went to the Netherlands and hung out with a girl named Madelief. Since everyone in the Netherlands uses bikes to get around, they have figured out the easiest and most fun way for small children to learn to ride, and let me tell you, it does NOT involve dorky training wheels that keep you permanently tilted over to one side and don't help develop balance or coordination at all.
After I saw this ingenious walking bike, I had to get one for my son. I brought it out when he was 2 years old and he has been wild for biking ever since. It took him a little while to get the hang of it...at first he just used it like a hobbyhorse and didn't really go anywhere. But very soon he was whizzing around, coasting, going up and down curbs, the works. And this bike will continue to be fun for him for years to come, or at least until his baby brother takes it over.

Love the Skuut
Reviewer: Sarah ,

I honestly don't know why these aren't more popular in this country. The skuut is awesome and great fun for the whole family. At just 2.5-years and after a total of 15-minutes, our son is able to balance while standing still and walk the bike without assistance - we lay out leaves for him to roll over and he loves it!
Friends of ours are professional mtn bikers and we spoke with them about how much to spend on one. They all agreed that the likeabike's were way overrated and I would have to agree. Putting this together took seconds, it's sturdy enough for use by even the most aggressive toddler (or largest)... there's no reason to pay the high price tag unless you want the brand recognition.

Practice makes balance
Reviewer: Susan ,

I have to say that my daughter wasn't excited about the Skuut when I first showed it to her, since it's not girly and there wasn't a princess in sight, but she kept yelling to her Dad to give her a push! It took her a few times to feel really comfortable on it and now she loves it. I was one mom who was completely frustrated by training wheels and watching her fall over. Thank you to the great customer service at runbikes.com for answering all my questions.

Great Bike
Reviewer: Carole Walters ,

My husband and I really shopped around for a run bike. We were going to go for a likeabike, but couldn't stomach the price. Went with the SKuut and LOVE it. Our friend has the likeabike and honestly, it doesn't seem as sturdy or attractive. we would definitely recommend this
