Amazing
Easy to put together and my 4 year old is crushing it on her new bike. She goes “so fast” and loves her “‘motorcycle”.

4 year old is obsessed!!!!
I was shopping around for my son's first bike and came across guardian. It was between them and woom ... I decided on guardian because it has an awesome breaking system and even though it's a couple pounds heavier, I didn't think it to make much of a difference as the other brand bike requires a lot more hand coordination with two brakes. This braking system is awesome!!! He picked up riding soooo fast!!!

16" bike
Fast shipping and very easy assembly! Bought two of these ( twin boys) and they love them. Also bought another for their sister( will give in May/ birthday). The boys were very excited to receive these and have been enjoying learning to ride on these. Would recommend these to everyone, seem to be very sturdy and well built. Time will tell with the twin boys beating up on these.

Easy Set Up; Great CS
Set up was so easy with a QR code that linked to a video to install a few items on the bike. Unfortunately our box didn’t have pedals, so we reached out to customer service. They sent out pedals without any fuss. Next bike we buy, I’ll open up to make sure we have everything instead of the night before. Excellent bike!

Game Changer for Learning to Ride
We purchased two Guardian 16” bikes for our twins, and they have been fantastic. The ability to start in balance bike mode made a huge difference—one of our boys transitioned to pedals after just two rides around the block! The other is now ready as well, proving how effective this method is compared to traditional training wheels. The bikes are lightweight, well-built, and easy for kids to handle. The SureStop braking system gives us extra peace of mind, and the overall design makes learning to ride so much smoother. Compared to the heavier, clunky kids’ bikes we’ve had in the past, these are a night-and-day improvement. Highly recommend Guardian for any parent wanting to make the transition to two wheels as easy as possible!
