Customer reviews

Lots of fun, worth the price. 5
Very durable. Small, compact, easy to slip in a bag and carry with you on trips, etc. Lots of fun. Very challenging. Never the same solution. Definitely worth the cost. My 11 year old son loved it as did my 77 year old mother.

Excellent buy - Addictive 3
I purchased this based on simplicity and price as a gift for my brother-in-law in his early 30s. It did not look impressive coming out of the box, however once I began to try putting the pieces back in the square the challenge began. It is essentially a puzzle, with several ways to put the puzzle together so it creates a square. It is small, so it travels well and comes in quite handly during those inevitable moments of boredom.

Challenge Toy 4
I purchased this item for a few 12 year old kids. Most of them loved it for the challenge. One gave it to her dad cause he loved it and she was just frustrated. For the price it is great.

Something nice to past the time 5
This is a great little puzzle. If you need to past the time just pick it up and play. Know this though, you may not stop until you finish the puzzle.

Customer reviews

Not durable for sidewalk 1
I really wish that I had read the reviews before purchasing this chalk for my 2 year old. We bought it for our outside patio and it just has not held up on concrete/bricks (even though the packaging says that it does). The chalk broke the first time it was played with. Melissa and Doug usually make great products so I went on name alone. Got burned this time.

too thin for pavement 2
these chalk pieces are too skinny and break easiley when drawing on the pavement. As soon as my daughter starts drawing, she ends up with several little pieces of chalk instead of one.
They should work fine for writing on a board.

Great chalk for toddlers! 5
This is some durable chalk! I have a very active 2 1/2 year old son, and he can destroy almost anything. We've been using this chalk for months now and none of it is broken yet. He loves using the chalk, and he has learned the colors of each one. It writes very well on the Step 2 chalkboard that we have. I don't have any bad things to say about the chalk, it's great for little ones!

GREAT MIRROR 5
I don't know why other reviewers have had such a hard time installing this. It takes two minutes and your good to go. I love the eliptical shape. It makes it very easy to see what's going on behind you. Unless you are mechanically challendged, buy this mirror, you will love it.

Bikesickness 1
This mirror is really wobbly. I've tightened it and changed the position, but it is so wobbly that I can't use it. It makes me queasy. It also falls off. I would not recommend it. Waste o' money.

Falls off 2
Mirror size is goood...buuuuut Mirror is constantly bobbing out of alignment. Unlike a car mirror, you have to reset after going over even smaller bumps. More cheap bike junk.

Bad design. A fitting slides into your handlebars. A screw expands the fitting so the mirror *should* stay in.

They give you a rubber boot for smaller handle bars. As the rubber wears down, the mirror doesn't stay in. There doesn't appear to be any way to clamp the thing to the handlebars

Falls off every time I go over a bump! 2
I bought this mirror today at my local bicycle shop, and will be returning it tomorrow. The piece that inserts into the handlebar is a flimsy piece of plastic, and the insertion is so shallow that just a few minutes of vibration during street riding, plus gravity, were all it took to dislodge the thing and send it to the sidewalk.

acceptable after some hacking (literally) 3
this is my third bike mirror in nine years, the second of this model. the first eventually fell off in traffic during a ride because i didn't know i had to periodically tighten the clamp.

the second was manufactured by Mirrycle, and worked great until the glass broke in an accident.

i went back to the blackburn because it looks cool and has a wide, clear viewing area, however i had to cut nearly half of the insert off with a jigsaw to get it to fit inside the bar end of my Bianchi Boardwalk. the last Blackburn mirror was installed when i first purchased the bike, i don't know if they did the same thing or if Blackburn has changed the diameter of this product, but i am now concerned about its longterm durability. that said, at the moment it fits securely and looks great.

as others have mentioned the viewing area does wobble a bit (the Mirrycle does not), however this doesn't really matter as long as you're just glancing down to check for approaching cars/cyclists.

Average customer review : 5
 

Features

  • Its an ingeniously simple concept used in Europe for years
  • Like-a-Bike has no pedals - kids learn to balance by using their feet to move
  • Your child will first walk and then will begin to run with the bike
  • It's effective because it gives your child control over the learning process
  • Most important, LIKEaBIKES are specially designed with safety in mind

Product Description

What is LIKEaBIKE? LIKEaBIKE is a unique toy vehicle for children between the ages of two and five. Riding a LIKEaBIKE is incredible fun for kids! At the same time, its highly beneficial for the development of their motor stills and sense of balance. The LIKEaBIKE is the perfect introduction to cycling. Mastering how to ride a LIKEaBIKE will give your child a huge boost in confidence. As early as two years old, children can fulfill their urge to be active with this walking bike and have their first experience of riding on two wheels. A LIKEaBIKE has no pedals. When first trying to ride, kids play with their LIKEaBIKE as they would with a hobbyhorse. They become familiar with the saddle first, carefully sitting on it. Soon they start to walk with it, then run. In no time the little rider becomes more confident and by pushing off, pucks up speed. If the bike starts to tip, kids instinctively regain their balance with their feet. Later, when moving on to a ?ó?é¼?ôreal?ó?é¼?¥ bicycle, kids adapt without difficulty, and training wheels become unnecessary. Features of the Mountain Model: The most popular LIKEaBIKE! Made of strong, laminated birch wood Adjustable seat 12.5-1.61" Weighs just 7.7 lbs Available in 5 different seat colors Other accessories available (sold separately) Gift Wrap not available.

Cool skates 5
The safety gear is great, and I could fit the skates, helmet and pads all fit in the backpack AFTER my daughter used them! It's a tight fit, but it's great to put it all away in the backpack neatly. The skates have nice adjustments and buckles. My daughter is still a little small for them at 32 months, but I hold her hand and we "skate" around on the carpet so it's nice and slow. On her first try she skated on the carpet and did go on the kitchen floor and outside a little, but likes the carpet the best. She plays with the skates and safety gear just while playing too, walks around with 1 skate on, and likes to play with the helmet. The stuff is great quality, and I can tell she will be able to use this set for a long time, since she is on the smallest setting right now! And I really like that the set does not have any product placement on it, and not "princess" theme. They are neutrally colorful and well made. Great skates!

fun but helmet too small 3
My almost 4 year old has fun with these skates. They are not fast enough to be dangerous or scary. Only problem is that the helmet is very small. It doesn't even fit my 10 month old, much less the 4 year old it is intended to fit. Beware if your child's head is larger than average!

Only Two Years Old and Blading already!!! 4
I got these for my 28 month old daughter for Valentines Day as she is fascinated by skating. They are a pain to put on, but she doesn't mind. They have "beginner" settings, which she used for the first hour and then it was on to the "expert" setting! What I like is all the safety gear come with them, so she knows that she has to wear it "all or nothing". These are great and seem to be safe and sturdy...with supervision, of course!

fun to get dressed up for skating 3
My son got this for his 3rd birthday, and since then I think he's tried the skating maybe 4 times in the past 8 months. He likes wearing the helmet, knee and wrist guards, but the skates are hard to put on. He's pretty agile, but I think this might be more appropriate for a 4 year old or older child. Also, the helmet is not approved for bike riding, which is something to keep in mind.

First Skates 5
I bought these skates for my son when he was leaning to skate..They come with everything u need to be safe while learning..knee and elbow pads, and a helmet...All your child will need is your hand then he will be on the go.

excellent 5
Got this for a childs birthday gift. He was so happy, he opened it and played with it for the rest of the day. I will be getting another for my child.

AWESOME! 5
I purchased this for our 5 year old Kindergarten son. He REALLY wanted it and as a reward for academic achievement we purchased this last night. He put half of it together last night by himself and completed the rest this morning waking before 6 a.m. to do so. He absolutely loves this police vehicle. I love that he can follow directions to build it, strengthen fine motor skills with small parts and use imaginative play. It is now about noon and he has not stopped playing with this toy. I highly recommned this one! Thanks Lego!!

We LOVE it! 5
My daughter is only a month old and she already loves this play mat! She loves to gaze at herself in the mirror and listen to the music cycle through. I think she's going to love it even more as she begins to interact with it. It's great for her to do tummy time, too! I love that all of the Bright Starts toys are easily interchanged and have purchased virtually every one I can find in pink along with the fun links.

Play Gym 5
The Bright Stars Pink Pretty Play Gym is very entertaining for my Grandaughter. I would recommmend this item.

Bright Starts Play Gym 5
This is a perfect playmat! The colors are bright and there is so much to look at! My granddaughter is two months old and already looking around at everything. I plan to purchase another one for my other granddaughter who is due at Thanksgiving.
