Perfect for 2.5yr old
Yes , I recommend this product
Our son has been riding balance style bikes since he was just past one, his strider style was getting small (rode 1.5-2.5) so we upgraded him to this bike to get him use to brakes and get the feel of a real bike without progressing into pedals to quickly. He LOVES this bike. He's only 36 tall, 14 inseam so this is great, his feet touch just enough to hit the ground and it's not to heavy that he can't handle it. We were super nervous and debated heavily going with this bike or the woom 2 at 2.5 years old and we're glad we did this one. We've gone to a few pump tracks/dirt paths/gravel paths and this bike is handling well on all of them. I think the only thing we were disappointed in was REIs assembly, if you know anything about bikes do it yourself.
