Getting a SmartStart with Schwinn

It’s hard to believe that our sweet little Ellie is almost 4 and a half years old. This is a fun age and she’s so excited about so many things. She just started her first season of soccer and she loves it, she’s looking forward to summer school and her getting ready for 4K class, and she can’t wait to start 4K in the fall. However, of all the things she is excited about, the one thing she wants more than anything is to learn how to ride a bike just like her big brother.

Ellie is definitely ready to learn how to ride a bike. She is excellent at working the pedals, she knows how to stop and steer, now it is just a matter of putting it all together and adding in the balancing act.

We recently took Ellie to Toys“R”Us to look at bikes and she was beyond thrilled to leave with a girls’ 16 inch Schwinn Jamboree Bike.

Established in 1895, Schwinn is the go-to resource for the recreational bike rider. Toys”R”Us has the largest selection of 16” bikes for kids. 

Schwinn makes shopping for a bike for your child easy with this guide to the basics of choosing a bike for young rider.

Ellie, of course, loves everything about her new bike, especially the basket and streamers. As for me, I am a big fan of the banana seat and fenders because it reminds me of the Schwinn I had as a kid.

Built around the proportions of a child, the Schwinn Jamboree Girls’ 16″ Bike offers SmartStart to ensure your little one rides in comfort. The single-speed bicycle features a coaster brake for simplicity as your little rider bikes up and down your driveway. Coordinating fenders, streamers and classic Schwinn styling provide a cute look, and the handlebar basket lets your youngster bring her favorite toys along for the ride. 6″ tires for speeding along in your driveway, Single-speed for ease of use, Coaster brake for sure stopping power, Handlebar basket lets your little one bring toys or a drink while she rides, Classic Schwinn styling, Coordinated fenders and handlebar streamers for a fun design, SmartStart is built around the proportions of a child for easy on and off, Recommended height: 38″ – 48″ tall.

Ellie has been working hard to learn how to ride her new bike and the more she works, the closer she gets to being able to take the training wheels off. I love that with this bike there is less wobble with the training wheels which makes it easier to learn to ride-better balance and of course like all Schwinn bikes, SmartStart bikes have a limited lifetime warranty for as long as you own the bike

Of course when it comes to learn to ride a bike, we always want the kids to be safe during the learning process and whenever they get on their bike so be sure you child has a helmet anytime they are riding.

I am looking forward to working with Ellie some more on her new bike and helping her gain the confidence she needs to take the training wheels off and learn to ride her new bike and I am also looking forward to being able to ride along with her!
