Overview
Pushing off with both feet, a toddler learns to balance and steer on this aluminum Strider before pedals ever come into play. The seat and handlebars adjust as the child grows, and foam rubber tires roll without any air.
An aluminum frame makes the bike light enough for a small child to steer and lift, and the listing publishes both seat height and inseam ranges so fit is easy to check. Like any balance bike it has no pedals, so its useful life ends when pedaling starts.
Who it's for
Families teaching a young child to balance before pedaling get a bike the child can handle alone. Kids already past the inseam range should move straight to a pedal bike.
Pros and cons
- Ultralight aluminum frame for easy handling
- Published seat height and inseam range
- Flat-free foam rubber tires
- Seat and handlebars both adjust
- No pedal option for later riding
- Brake not listed
- Outgrown once inseam passes the range
Performance notes
Fit decides everything on a balance bike: the child needs flat feet on the ground, and the seat height range sets which children can get there. A lighter frame lowers the effort to steer and recover from a lean, and foam tires mean no pressure checks before a ride.

What comes with the Strider 12 Pro?

Is the Strider 12 Pro a pedal bike?
No. It is a no-pedal balance bike, and the listing does not mention a pedal conversion.
