We've had this bike for two years and are VERY happy with the features and quality. However, my son is now ready for us to remove the training wheels and we had a little surprise in store for us... there's no kickstand and no attachment hole for an after-market kickstand!!! Hadn't thought about that two years ago when we bought it since he needed training wheels then. Oh well. Not sure what to do now... it's way too late to return it! Great bike, but be warned about this oversite in it's design.

Our nephew was thrilled with his new bike. However, when we unpacked the bike,[...] Since he was on his way to receive his gift, I made a trip to a local store to buy a set of pedals. I then called the 800 number for Schwinn and a new set of pedals was sent. [...] Other than that, we were pleased with the purchase.

We bought three bikes for our triplet grandchildren's fifth birthday. Two boys and a girl. So we have two of these bikes and they are well made and easy to assemble. The children love them.

Product is heavy. Does not include kick stand. Hand brakes don't work well. I bought it last summer for my then 4.5 yr old. It's finally getting some use this summer but it's so heavy and clunky. I bought it because of the brand and I wanted to avoid character bikes. I should have just bought a less expensive character bike and been done with it. Too bad I can't return it anymore or I would. There may be many nice things about this bike but the negatives make them impossible to see. One disclaimer - my kid is not super athletic. If he was a bruiser the weight and clunkiness of this bike may not be as annoying.

I like the fact that the chainguard is made of metal. The bike is solid and so far so good. Rides good. My problem is there is no kickstand for this bike. There is no side bar to install an after market kickstand.

My son received this bike as a gift for his fifth birthday-We were happy with how it looked and how heavy the frame was-However, we were unable to get the brakes to work-We followed the directions and spent over two hours trying to get them to work-We also realized the steering column that came pre-assembled did not match the instructions-We finally brought it to a local bike shop and we were advised to return the bike and try another model-We will be returning the bike-

Worth the money - nice, heavy bike that can take the beating from my now 5 year old who has already gone thru a set of tires on his old bike. [...] Most bikes that have training wheels don't come with one but with this bike, you can't install one at all. There is no where to attach one, even if you are willing to drill your own hole. That's the only reason I went 4 stars.

Love the bike.. but need a kickstand to keep it from falling. Purchased a Schwinn adjustable kickstand from [@] but some how does not work with this model?[...]

We have 4.5 year old boy-girl twins. So, when I buy anything, I have to buy two and want to make sure it is of high quality. I did about a month's worth of research and bought this bike for our son. I couldn't have been happier. When it comes to kid's stuff, there is a lot of junk out there--just throw on a superhero and kids will buy anything. I didn't fall for that trap. This bike is well made, perfectly sized to grow, great break system. My only knock is that it is a tad bit heavy... But, this is definitely an awesome steal for the sales price of [$] You get bike store quality without having to pay bike store prices. Do what I did, just buy some batman stickers and go with this bike. It is worth it.
