United StatesLives up to the hype
I bought this bike for my daughter after hearing how easy it is to learn to ride. It really lives up to the hype! My daughter had a seamless transition from her little bike and was able to ride with no training wheels in the same day! The bike is really easy for her to handle- she can take off, pedal, brake, and turn easily. More importantly, when she falls she is able to catch herself and dismount from the bike without getting hurt. It’s really built up her confidence and she couldn’t be more proud! Great price, was shipped quickly and super easy to assemble.

United StatesMy 5 year old daughter loves this bike
Not only does she love the colors but for me, the ease of putting the bike together + the guidelines for getting her started without training wheels has been great so far; highly recommend!

United StatesGreat company and product
We were having difficulty deciding between bikes for our four year old and when we called, it was a clear choice to buy from Guardian. The customer service representative spend quite a bit of time answering our questions about which size bike to choose because our son was right on the cusp between the 16” and the 20”, and in the end, she recommended we buy the 16” bike because of the coolest policy they have! If your child outgrows their bike within a year, you can donate your bike and receive the next size up for free from Guardian. This really spoke volumes to the type of company they are and I always prefer to do business with companies that make it this easy to be a loyal customer. They also helped us get all of the discounts that were applicable when we placed our order. Our son LOVES his new bike and we are very happy customers!

United StatesWe love our bikes!
This is the second gardian bike we bought my daughter. Choosing the balance bike method using the same bike that she would be pedaling made the transition so easy. Once I decided she had the balancing down, it only took 20 minutes on a small hill for her to be off. I couldn't be more pleased with this method of teaching a child to ride a bike!

United StatesHappy to go with a Guardian bike
Excellent! Every info and reviews I read about Guardian bikes were confirmed to be true. I bought the 16 in bike for my grandson who just turned 4yo a few days ago. It was a surprise so he didn’t get his hands on it until after his birthday. It only took a few hours for him to learn how to ride and made use of the pedals and hand brake. It also helped that he had practice using a balance bike before this day. The design features were spot on for anyone just learning how to ride a bike! I absolutely recommend Guardian bikes for anyone looking for a bike specially for a beginner! Great job Guardian R Munji
