This bike shows great quality and is very easy to assemble. I had this put together by myself in approximately 10-15 minutes.

Not sure if this is a wide-spread issue, but the front axel post, was not threaded well so it took a lot to get the post into nut. I had to use a mallet to get the threads to start and even after that was not able to get the screw all the way in the nut. If bike had not been a Christmas gift, I would have probably sent it back.

I love how neatly everything was packaged. I'm a female but know my way around tools somewhat, and it was super simple to assemble. Maybe took 15 minutes. I feel it was a very good value. My two year old is on the larger side and I think he'll get many years use of it. It's a beautiful, bright green, consistent in color and paint is quality work.

Starting off, if you don't read the rest of this review, just know that this is truly one of the best quality bikes I've ever purchased! You won't regret it, go buy it now! I bought the the 16" bike for my 4 year old niece's birthday. She was absolutely ecstatic and took right to it.

The bike was extremely easy to assemble. It took a total of about 15 minutes to put together. It took more time to get it completely unwrapped than it did to put together. There are 3 main components to the bike and you didn't get any extra tools to assemble it. Each piece snapped right into place without any guess work. The instructions were straightforward and to the point, but descriptive enough for me to follow along with. The only part that was a little bit harder for me was to twist the handlebars into place. I'm sure I could have gotten it with a little bit more effort, but I left it up to my husband to quickly lock into place. I loved the ease and speed of putting it together and I am not the person who usually does that in our household.

The bike is made of high quality materials. Even the plastic streamers on the handle bars are not your typical cheap, plastic ones that normally come flying off when riding your bike. These ones you'll have to seriously man handle to try and rip off. The paint seems very durable and will keep the bike looking brand new for a long time. The paint color is a little bit more blue than teal like it says in the description, but is still very aesthetically pleasing.

One thing I loved about this bike above others I've had for my own kids, that made me lean towards this bike for my niece is the handle on the back of the seat. I know how hard it can be to bend over and try to balance a kid when they're trying to learn how to ride a bike without training wheels. This will help tremendously when that time comes for her. Another thing I loved is that you can adjust the height of the seat in a snap. You just pull out the safety lever and adjust the height quickly. There's no tools needed at all.

Overall, I am so pleased with this bike and makes me wish I would have had a bike like this for my kids!

Very happy with this bike! We bought it for our daughter's birthday and she LOVES it. The colors are so pretty and aren't 'overly girly'. She was able to easily jump on and get situated, the proportions for her age (3) are perfect. The adjustable handlebars and seat will also give it some longevity which I'm grateful for. The training wheels have 2 settings, one that make the wheels rest on the ground, and the other has them hover for when she's training which is really nice. All the materials are solid quality, the metal has good weight to it, the rubber has a good grip, the ribbons are nice, all of it is just well made, what I'd expect from a Schwinn bike. Setting up the bike was extremely easy, took my husband under 15 minutes. Overall very happy, and so is my daughter!
