Benefits of the Guardian Balance Bike

Feature icon, Green Checkmark Teaches the Fundamentals First Created with Lunacy Created with Lunacy

Balance bikes teach a child to balance, steer, and stop without adding in the complication of pedaling. When a child first learns to ride a bike using training wheels they learn to depend on them rather than learning the necessary fundamentals needed to ride a pedal bike.

    Fantastic Customer Service

    We purchased a balance bike for my daughter’s 2nd birthday. It was absolutely adorable, super light weight, and easy to assemble. Couldn’t ask for a better balance bike. Unfortunately, balance bikes are not for every kid and our daughter never took to hers. She tried it many times over the course of a year, and regularly requested a bike with pedals instead. While researching bikes with training wheels, I discovered Guardian Bike’s return policy of 365 days. I initiated the return 364 days after ordering, and they responded immediately. I was able to drop off the bike for a local foster child, and received a full refund for the bike very soon after emailing a photo of the donation receipt. I couldn’t ask for better customer service, and will definitely be ordering big kid Guardian Bikes in the future! If you are on the fence about ordering your child a guardian bike, go ahead and do it because there is truly no risk in trying it out! Chances are your kiddo will love it!

    Awesome bike and customer service!

    My two-year-old loves his new balance bike. The bike came on-time and was extremely easy to set up. My son was riding within 15 minutes of my opening the box. He even got complements from our neighbors on his "cool new ride". Guardian's customer service is also amazing. I had an issue with a helmet being too small. They responded within minutes of my email and were extremely understanding and helpful. I'm super happy with this purchase and grateful for the great service from Guardian!

    Quick & EASY

    Ordered Bike and it was shipped the next day and arrive within 3 days. I’m a sole parent and putting things together, especially, with a 3 year old’s distraction, is not my forte. This bike was incredibly easy to put together and I was able to review the instructions and talk to my son about safety and braking mechanics - the booklet was a big help. Bike was put together within 15 minutes AND that was with a 3 year old wanting to help me! I was worried about the delivery of the bike based off of reviews I have read. I prepared myself mentally that the shipping could be difficult. I’m so glad this did not happen! We tested the bike immediately and my son and I absolutely love it!
