My Buddy Wheels Review (Yvolution)

Sometimes learning how to ride a bike is more fun when a buddy rides with you. That's why Yvolution created My Buddy Wheels, a line of balance bikes with soft and cuddly friends attached. It's essentially a two-wheeled balance bike with a plush animal cover over the bike frame. You can choose from dinosaur, unicorn, or horse. Each of the different styles has a bike frame and handlebars in matching colors. Even with the soft buddy attached, kids still have access to the handlebars with soft, rubber grips. The rubber wheels are puncture-proof. As kids grow, the seat and handlebars can be adjusted. And you can remove the soft buddy to wash it or play with it off the bike. 

As a balance bike, this is all about helping kids learn balance, coordination, and other fundamental skills of riding a bike. The inclusion of the soft buddy entices kids to want to ride and also adds some roleplay to the riding adventures. The plush animal makes it comfy and exciting for little kids to ride. 

My Buddy Wheels are for ages 2 to 4 with a maximum weight limit of 44 pounds.

Adult assembly is required and is easy to do. Expect to take no more than 10 minutes.

The soft buddy is detachable and washable. The instructions say to hand wash it.
