“My son absolutely loves his Rookie 12. He literally won't go on a day out without it! As well as looking great, people always remark on how light the bike is. It also copes well with uneven terrain and my son is now whizzing around his local bike track! Great purchase and amazing customer service from Kidvelo!”

“It is a lovely bright colour, I love that the seat is easily adjustable with no need for any tools. The best thing about it is that it is incredibly light, it is no issue at all to carry it when my daughter wants a break even though I have back issues. She absolutely loves it and is getting the hang of it straight away. The paint seems pretty chip resistant. It's a really fun looking bike with seemingly good proportions.”

“It’s a lovely bike but online it said suitable from 18 months but on the bike and packaging it clearly states 2+ years. My (above average height) daughter at 19 months is too small to reach the floor on the lowest seat setting. So that was quite disappointing and I may have bought from another brand if I had known this one wouldn’t be suitable for a few months.”

Hello Alexandra, Thank you for taking the time to review. The bike is suitable from 18 months, as it passes safety testing for that age group. However, when buying a bike, the way to measure whether your child will fit, is using inseam. Hence we specify all the dimensions, to allow you to make an informed decision. I am sure that you appreciate, every child has different limb lengths and proportions, so overall height isn't as important as leg length, especially when sizing for toddlers. Regarding the label on the bike, we are now in the process of redesigning it, to reflect the 18 months age, rather than 2 years, but thank you for bringing this to our attention. Kind Regards Karen

“Great little bike. My little one loves it. It was easy to assemble, and it's surprisingly lightweight. Just perfect for a 3 year old to get into biking. Very happy with the purchase.”

“This is a great starter bike. Robustly made and my daughter is three years of age and loves balance biking, the safer catch for the seat works effectively and the tires are robust for the slightly less grippy trail surfaces. We have had lots of fun with the balance bike and continue to enjoy the sleek while functional design.”
