Thanks for your reviews! We are currently looking for a 14 inch bike for our 4 year old who is graduating from a strider balance bike. We were looking at the at The Royal Baby bike , but might be looking into this one instead.
I just ordered one of these bikes for my 2yo son so I've been watching lots of reviews and I was cracking up watching yours because I grew up in Keller so I know where all of those locations are, haha! I've never happened across a YT video that was shot in my town before. I was like wait a second... I know that skatepark! I've actually skated there myself and play sand volleyball at those courts all the time. Anyways great review, and we're so excited for the bike to arrive!
Thanks to your awesome review of Woom 1, we were able to decide on buying one secondhand in EUC. Now, our son has had more than a year on his BB and could be ready for pedal biking. He is 4 yo, 39" tall, and his inseam is about 16". There's a Guardian Ethos on CL that is going for $175 with 10 miles of use, according to the seller. Is that a bargain?
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes Thanks for your reply. It was the 14''. It was sold to another buyer. In the meantime, my son will use a Huffy. It's nowhere near Woom-style bikes, but something to test until November.
I still keep balking at getting my almost 5 year old niece this bike. She must have super short legs. Your little cuties look right on this bike but my niece is almost 5, 40+ pounds but her legs are only 16" inseam. 14" is the size recommended over and again, and of course by the official website too. This is the right size for the bike according to all the material I read and reviews. Sigh, still unsure.
There is certainly some validity in your argument! As a mountain biker who helps coach our high school mountain bike team, I 100% agree that learning when and how to use the front and rear brake independently is vital, but Guardian’s target audience isn’t technical riders, it’s the everyday neighborhood rider. As a result, super technical riding where independent braking is essential isn’t a skill these younger kids need to learn. Plus, if they choose to move over to more technical riding, it typically doesn’t take kids very long to pick up on when to safety use to front and rear brakes.
What a review. You must be the gold standard for all the reviewers of all the kids products out there
Well thanks, Smitha! You just made our day!!

Just make sure to measure your child’s inseam! At 4 years old, they may be tall enough for a 16" bike!

Which size Guardian are you looking at? At 39" tall, he would outgrow the 14" pretty quickly, but the 16" is still a tad too big.

How tall is she? Does she have experience on a balance bike?
I'm not a fan of the surestop system. That seems like a bad habit to build. Would be better to get them building habits to use brakes properly instead
