A: The 12 Strider Sport is designed for the "general" age range of 18 months - 5 years. Instead of total height, to determine the best fit for your little rider you will want to know their inseam measurement. This model fits an inseam range of 12" - 20" and weighs 6.7 lbs. The Strider 14x is the next size up and is the only Strider that transitions from balance bike to pedal bike. This model fits an inseam range of 16" - 23".
A: I would reccomend the next size up the Strider 14x this balance bike has an additonal add-on pedal kits that can be purchased separatley which will create the riders first pedal bike. It fits kiddos from Ages 3 – 7 years old with an Inseam between: 40-58 cm (16-23 in.) Rider Height: Approx. 95-125 cm (37-49 in.) Maximum Rider Weight: 36 kg (80 lbs.)
A: We don't ever suggest using training wheels on a STRIDER, Training wheels are an out-dated form of learning to ride a bike. They only create a false sense of security.....Our bikes break down riding into the simplest of forms starting with the foundation of Balance, control, confidence and steering. Kiddos learn to glide and steer at their own pace and almost seamlessly transition to pedals.
A: No. It's designed to teach the child how to BALANCE on two wheels without the added complexity of pedals to push forward. Kids can put their feet down at any time, but the point is to "walk / run" forward and lift their feet to balance for short periods until they've mastered the ability.
A: YES!!! All 12 Models will fit the rocking base. If you have more questions you can email customer service at Customerservice@striderbikes.com
A: Cynthia, Kiddos use their feet to stop, so good shoes are important when Striding. If they are getting to the skill level of big hills and fast gliding please check out the Strider 14x it has a coaster brake. Let us know if you have any other questions
A: Thanks for the question - Age is just a general range - the Strider Sport 12 fits kiddos 18 MONTHS - 5 YEARS but the best way to measure a rider for a bike is the inseam. The 12 in Strider fits a range of inseam lengths (30-51 cm [12-20 in.]). Ann H. Strider Customer Service.
A: Thanks for your question, the 12 inch bikes do not have a Kickstand, we don't want anything to get in the way of the riders feet and ankles. There is a plastic floor stand for storing the bike.
A: Janet, No the 12 inch Striders do not have an add-on pedal option. The only Strider that has an add-on pedal kit is the 14x. Ann - Customer Service Team.
A: The Sport has quite a few "upgrades" It comes with 2 easy to adjust clamps on both the seat and handle bars. It has both a short and tall seat post so the Sport accommodates a rider with an inseam from 12-19 inches. It also has a handle bar pad and the newest version includes a molded performance footrest.
A: The Strider 12 Sport Balance bike is for our youngest riders and will not have the option to add pedals. Once the kiddo is ready, the next step in the progression is the Strider 14x, that is the perfect transition bike for the older toddlers 3.5-7 years old.
A: Hello, Jessica from Strider here. Our standard models come with our EVA Polymer foam tires, but there are air-filled tires that are available as an accessory on the official Strider page. Thank you!
