Prince Lionheart Whirl Balance Scooter

We bought this for our daughter's 2nd birthday. I am new to Amazon and love the fast shipping that's free with the Mom account so I figured I'd go with Amazon over BRU for the item. I'm glad we did since we had to send back the first bike. The frame was damaged on the inside which we noticed after it was all put together. The return was very easy which was great, we had a new one two days later.

Installation is very easy and takes about 30 minutes, it comes with everything in the package. With both bikes, the front 'light' was dinged with the paint and even though we wanted a perfect one it wasn't worth sending it back when both had the same ding.

The actual scooter is adorable although the seat is kind of a cheaper material, but still nice. The pink color is very cute.

We also purchased a bell and the Bell Fraction helmet from Amazon in pink to go with her new scooter. We hope our daughter will love this!

We got this for our daughter's 2nd birthday when she began showing interest in bikes, unfortunately just weeks before I had snagged a tricycle from a friend for her as well. She enjoyed the ease of being pushed on the trike better than having to push herself on this. She really loved it when we pushed her around on it, but most attempts do it herself resulted in her crying for us to push her (to be fair, she's not too big on the whole "do it yourself" thing if she thinks she could get hurt).

She tells me she likes the bike (as she spotted me typing the review), but her actions don't show it well. I think she'll start liking it more this year when the novelty wears off the trike (she can now pedal and steer herself on it so she will be wanting 2 wheels soon... I hope.)

Even if the original recipient never digs it, we have another little girl now that might end up enjoying it in a few years, so the investment will hopefully not be lost.

For reference, our daughter was 36" at the time of purchase, she's about 2-3" taller now. She was able to ride it on mostly tip toes at first (more width than height), now it fits her better (meaning she looks more comfortable while attempting it), and it's still on the lowest setting.

I bought this for its looks, but my 3.5 year old girl is still having trouble holding it up. I weighed it 12 pounds. Looking at the descriptions of some of the metal bikes I see some are 7 pounds. My boy learned on the wooden Skutt starting on his 3rd birthday and had no trouble, but I bet that is lighter and he was bigger and stronger than my girl at the same age. (She's about 38 inches and lightweight with small feet). So I'm going to have to get her a light one because I think it would be months before she could hold this up. Height wise, her feet are flat on the ground at the lowest seat setting, so that is fine. I am hoping the adjustable seat will mean she can use this when she is bigger and stronger I would amend my rating to 4 stars if she gets some use out of it later. The cool scooter panels have added unnecessary weight, and take away from its functionality a bit.

I love the look of this balance bike, obviously you do too, that is the strong point of this particular bike. My daughter loves it, and really that's what matters (although it is also kinda cool that EVERYONE else seems to love it too, be ready for lots of comments/compliments) The complaint is really just in the labeling. I bought it for my daughter's second birthday. I knew it was on the tall side, but figured since she is in the 95% for height, it would probably fit her well. Wrong. She could barely reach her tippy toes to the ground while sitting on it. She still likes it, she usually just stands between the seat and the handle bars and walks around pushing it, but it will be awhile before she can really ride it. So unless your kid is off the charts tall, it would probably make a better 3rd birthday gift.

I purchased the boys version for my son a while back and he loves it! I had to get this for my 3 year old daughter after she tried a bike with training wheels and did not like it. She took a couple of weeks to really get good on it, but now she can really go. It's so neat to see my 3 and 2 year olds showing great balance and loving riding these balance bikes. I would never suggest training wheels to anyone after seeing how natural these bikes work to teach balance and bike handling. Seems to be well made. It even survived a scuffle with my trucks front tire. Stronger than you might think. I do make an effort to keep them inside and not to let them get wet!
