The Strider is easily one of the most popular balance bikes out there because of its light weight and wide seat height adjustment, suitable for ages 18mo - 5 years, and tough construction. The Pro is the top end model with padded seat, padded handlebars, and aluminium construction that makes it fully 20% lighter than the other models. Usually priced at $190-220. It was already a deal at $149, but an absolute steal at $127.50 which is only $7.50 more than the best deal for the mid range Strider Sport model.

Mods, the quantity is only 8 so this might be stretching the rules but this really is a great price for this bike. Now 9 available + 1 sold.

This website explains the benefits of paying more for a balance bike:

    $20 one from Kmart does the same job in my opinion.

      Not even close. Those cheapies fall apart, are generally heavier, are the wrong geometry (so kids take longer to get good at riding them), bad grip etc. This website does a good job at explaining why you get what you pay for:

      Of the more highly recommended bikes, the Strider is the cheapest. You can pay $20 if you want to but this bike is totally worth $130.

    I'm not sure it is worth paying this sort of money.

    Having said that balance bikes cannot be more highly recommended for learning to ride. My youngest used a wooden one with great success, and switched to an ordinary bike in 5 minutes.

  I can't see any difference between this and the one I got from pushies (delivered) for $19 a few months ago.

  These are a waste of money. I never learnt on these (nor any of the kids in the 80's), neither did my kids. Learnt on peddle bikes directly and riding properly within 2 days.

      "suitable for ages 18mo - 5 years"

      My Son learnt to ride with two wheels in two days after I removed his training wheels when he was 3 years old. At 18 months, pedaled bike would still be more appropriate to teach them the mechanics of pedaling and turning.

      Again - "These balance bikes are a waste of money and time". $127 for something they will use for a few days just to learn to balance is daylight robbery.

        I don't think you've seen how much fun toddlers have with these. So much better than a pedal bike with training wheels. Take your hate elsewhere.

        @morini: No hate. Just telling the truth. $127 better spent elsewhere.
