I bought this bike for my cousin who will soon be two years. There are some years when I was au pair I saw it "like a bike" was the best toy that had children which I was engaged. The little 4 year old daughter started going over to 3 years. When she had her classic bike, it started right away without the wheels. His little brother 2 years then inherited the running bike. Within 5 minutes he understood how it worked. Once more daily walks in the stroller. Moreover, his approach was much more balanced with this bike.
However, I recommend the walks where there is a lot of slope too dangerous because small take the taste of speed but do not know how to stop (no brakes). To check how the children react, it is best to try on a small sloping lawn, it avoids that they do evil.
Otherwise, the bike is excellent, very solid. Especially the wheels (I have never seen deflated). The decor is a bit basic but at that age it does not make a difference.
Last, this bike is rather light and that's good when you have to wear it.
