I read as many reviews on push bikes as I could before ordering this and wanted to give a comprehensive review after having for a month.We ordered this for our first child and she loves it. She is 3.75 years-old and a little tall for her age. She was very excited to unpackage and assemble it with me, which was a snap, and she rode it on our laminate flooring that night. The design is such that when the bike is on its side, only the tires and the rubber handlebar grip touch the floor, i.e. no wooden parts or bolts ding my floor when it falls over.We took it outside the next day and she just wanted to ride her trike, but by the end of the day she wanted to ride "the wooden bike" more.We are fortunate to have a bunch of walking paths in the woods near our home and we prefer to ride there to enjoy the scenery, and so that fall are softer, but this bike does great on pavement, trails and indoors. The tires are knobby, but we'll never take it out in the mud and slicks or semi-slicks would be fine on the trails we'll be on.The bike is quite light and she has no trouble picking it up or pushing it. However, for the first couple weeks she was slower riding her bike than when we go "walking." That isn't entirely fair of me to say because she almost never walks and usually runs circles around me. So, she is a much faster runner than rider. She has gotten faster on the bike, but will probably always be faster on foot.When we stray far from home, I always end up carrying it a ways, and of coarse up and down any steep hills. I expected this, but thought it was worth mentioning here.The handle cut into the frame is handy, but the position/angle of the handle is a little off such that the rear wheel hangs lower than the front and I end up carrying its weight mostly on my pinky and ring fingers. Actually, I usually carry it with my hand between the handlebar grips. This is my only complaint about the bike, and isn't a big enough deal to dock the review a star. The bike is light enough for me to carry without the handle.We initially put it together with the seat in the lowest position and immediately saw that this was much too low. I moved it up to the second highest position and that looked pretty comfortable for her, but I was disappointed that she'd only fit it until she outgrew the next height.She asked a couple days ago if she could have the seat lowered and now it is in the third highest position, and looks like a fair fit, and she reports that she likes it better there. Still, I think she'll be ready for a pedal bike before she would have outgrown just one more notch.We've had to explain it to so many neighbors that she now calls it her balance bike, which is more apt.Our daughter over-steers, but is getting better and corrects well. She's had a few wrecks, but has walked away from all of them on her own. The lightness of the bike, and lack of protruding parts contribute to this.We also have a tag-along bike, a single wheel on an arm that attaches to my seatpost, a seat and a pair of pedals. I think that we'll hold off on that until she is a little taller, but between the two, I think she'll be ready for a pedal bike by next summer.We have a younger child also and fully expect the balance bike to be in great condition when he is tall enough to start riding it. It is a quality bike and will take all the riding we'll be able to give it.[...] I was willing to go as high as eighty for a used one, and was very happy to find this deal for a new one."..."  Read more

Bought this dollhouse for my 3 yr old for Christmas. It's just lovely. For now, the residents of this house are beanie baby bears, who fit perfectly on all the furniture. I feel like my daughter will play with this for years. Once she outgrows the bears, she will want dolls. This house is big enough for a couple kids to play with it together when friends come over. I also like the big chunky furniture, rather than tiny little pieces that would get lost. This house is beautiful, the furniture is beautiful, it works well for a preschooler and will hopefully be enjoyed for years to come. Love it, love it, love it."..."  Read more

We bought this for my daughter's birthday. I had wanted to buy it for her for a while, and found it on Wayfair for about half the price [...]Can't beat that! It is really cute, not too big so it fits in a corner of her bedroom nicely. My husband said it was a bit of a pain to put together, but he got it done within an hour. Really for the price, the quality and cuteness can't be beat. I couldn't imagine paying hundreds for the PBK set when your daughter will like this one just as much."..."  Read more

I purchased this for my grandsons (2-year-old twins and their 1-year-old brother) for Christmas. I am so glad I went with this set over the tabletop train sets with multiple pieces. This is perfect for toddlers and young kids. I especially like the fact that the lid is sturdy, something I was concerned about when I bought it. I was a bit disappointed in the train set that came with it, it's just three tiny wood pieces so I had to buy a larger set to go with it. It also came with three little cars but my grandsons wanted trains not cars. Also it was more of a challenge to assemble that what the description might lead you to believe; the holes and screws to attach the legs did not match up at all and the screws are very long and hard to screw into the plastic. My husband had to do a little drilling to make it all work. Overall, we love this for our little guys but anticipate that in just a couple of years they will be ready for a regular train set, so the age of your children needs to be a factor in deciding what train set to buy."..."  Read more
