Toys and Games Reviews of Vtech Ride and Learn Giraffe BikeCustomer Review: Not as great as it seems Summary: 3 Stars
My 3 year old son got this for Christmas this past year to help him learn to pedal a bike before spring. It helped a bit but his feet seemed to keep slipping off the pedals; it was odd, I couldn't figure out what was going wrong. Now that it's the end of May and he's pedaling his "big boy bike" around outside like crazy I figured it out: it's the lack of resistance on the pedals. Imagine going to work out on a stationary bike and getting zero resistance. It would be frustrating and no fun right? Well that's the problem with the Giraffe Bike too. But the upside is that he can still play the games on the cheapy screen. He also calls it his cow, throws on a hat, and plays cowboy with the bike =P
Customer Review: great for a 2 yr old Summary: 3 Stars
This toy was given to my two year old on his birthday. It was difficult for him at first but he has improved his balance and coordination trying to pedal. He only spends short amounts of time on it but this is true with most things. It is also quite cute to hear him repeating the alphabet as it sings to him especially since he is a little boy not wanting to talk very much. I think it is great for his age as it does challenge him. I wish the music had a volume button as it is a little loud. It is light enough that he can drag to other rooms. Another reviewer said is was boring for his 4 year old and my little guy will probably be done with it by then but for right now he is enjoying it.
Customer Review: Fun and Well Thought out Toy Summary: 4 Stars
I have two boys, one that is almost 2 and a 4 year old. My little boy who is almost 2 doesn't quite get the pedaling yet but he loves interacting with the lcd screen. There are many modes to play which are fun too. The maximum weight is 42 lbs, and my 4 year old only weighs 37 so I let him play on it as well. He just turned 4 in November, and he LOVES it.He loves to pedal and has no problem navigating the screen. One little change I wish were implemented - I wish the seat could be closer to the handle bars. It looks a little awkward when my almost 2 year old is sitting on it. He has to lean forward pretty far. Overall, it's a pretty cute toy and I would recommend it.
Customer Review: My Kids Love It! Summary: 5 Stars
I have two sons, ages one and two. They both love this bike so much they constantly fight over it. I have actually had to take this bike away from them a few times since neither one of them know how to share properly just yet (I'm trying to work on that). I originally bought it to teach my oldest how to pedal. He has learned well on this. He loves to pedal to the games programmed on it. My youngest who is one, can even reach the pedals. I will agree with others that the volume is a little loud, but it is not enough to bother me or the kids.
Customer Review: Kids will love, parents will hate Summary: 2 Stars
My children LOVE this toy and it has helped them learn how to pedal.
I HATE this toy. It is loud loud LOUD. It does not turn off automatically and will keep making noise forever. When you do hit the button to turn it off it loudly announces "Goodbye" which is sure to recapture the attention of your child. Who will promptly come back to the toy and turn it back on, thus ensuring the horrible noise does not end.
Is there a parent in your life that you are mad at? This is the perfect gift for their child.
