I did a lot of research on balance bikes before deciding to go with this one. Rather than talk to the other brands, or preach about the benefits of balance bikes in general, I'll simply list the reasons I like the KinderBike Laufrad (and the vendor!) over the others:

LOVE this product it does what it is suppose to, Iran out and need to reorder and will. I liked all of my It works products except the body wrap, It was an over priced facial for the skin on your tummy other than that it made no measurable difference. But I do like there supplements and other products!

Solid piece of equipment. I can't see how anyone would have difficulty installing it. Do take the advise of installing the LED lighting first. I dare someone to reverse into me now!!!

Compared to the silver Andis machine I have this is a nice substitute. Relatively much more lighter than the one I have. It still gets the job done though. The price too is great but if u want more weight and a edgier shape up go for the silver one. However be ready to pay $30 more. Overall it's a great product for its price.
