Works Like Magic!
We had been trying to get our 5-year-old fraternal twins riding bikes for a few months with very little success. They lacked interest, motivation, and skill. I was sure that I had been "suckered" into buying Guardian bikes because the claim that they'd be riding in one day seemed too good to be true. But it worked! For some reason, they were legitimately excited about these bikes, and they built confidence gliding without pedals for a couple hours. (In all fairness, we did this over 2-3 days because we started on a weekday.) At first I was skeptical b/c they couldn't glide more than a few feet, but they improved really quickly. They were ready for pedals at the same time and they first took off riding their very first try! (This is quite remarkable since one of our twins generally has far better motor skills than the other.) So, in about 3 hours they went from not being able to ride a bike AT ALL to riding on their own with pedals (and no training wheels). We're so proud of them for working hard, but the kiddos also claim there's a bit of "magic" to these bikes and I think it's true. As one of them hilariously said right afterward, "See, mom, the bikes were worth the money!" (I couldn't agree more.)

Top of the line equipment
This bike is the perfect next step investment for our son. He had experience on a heavy, old fashioned pedal bike but was ready to fly on a proper machine. This bike is lightweight, top quality and an effortless transition. With the additional seat and choosing 16inch for an experience 3.5 year old will use it for a few years! We are thrilled with our purchase and highly recommend

Amazing bike!
My son absolutely loves his bike. Within trying it 3 times, he is off and biking confidently. He’s 5 and the first of his friends to ride a two wheeler. He’s so proud of himself and I’m so happy with our purchase.

Riding in a day!
My 4 y/o daughter has been so eager to ride a bike so we got her a guardian after reading lots of reviews. She spent the day practicing gliding and as soon as we put the pedals on she was zooming around so comfortably! Her confidence soared and she asks me to go on a pedal bike ride every day since!
