"We bought this for our daughter's 3rd birthday, she loves it, and I love that it isn't pink! It is not too feminine so her younger brother will grow into it too. Seat is easily adjustable, and the tyres are real tyres with inner tubes, so altough they could puncture, they won't wear flat like the foam tyres on some bikes. Downside is that it is a heavy bike, but at least it is solid, so stable. It comes with matching accessories, which we didnt need, but that might be important for some people."

Pros: good sturdy little bike, value for money, great first bike
Cons: brake levers a little difficult for small hands
"my daughter is 6 weeks from her 4th birthday, we bought this as an early birthday treat as the school were holding an event to help teach children how to ride without stabilizers. Having only purchased the bike the day before and removing the stabilizers the next day i cannot comment on how good the bike may be with these still attached.
my daughter learnt to ride without stabilizers successfully during the half day session in school and now travels with me to school which is a mile away from our house twice a day twice a day on this great little bike. it's sturdy, a good size for her to grow with and value for money.
one draw back however is the brake levers are a little big for her to reach her little hands over whilst still holding the handle grips so she has to use her feet to slow her down to stop.
i'm also limited on accessories to buy to go on the bike, because we bought the bike as an early birthday present she has been promised a dolly carrier, streamers and basket for her birthday, - there are not many yellow and blue items available like this to match.

Pros: built and ready to ride, detachable stabilisers supplied, chain well protected
Cons: a girls bike but blue?
"Of all the bikes on offer at this pricepoint, looking at all of the bike retailers; I do not think that this bike could be any better!
I would have bought it in Pink if given a choice but at the price paid; this was exceptional value and of a fantastic quality!
My daughter loves this bike and as a result I would recommend it to any prospective buyer!

"This is a lovely bike, it's looks good and is very sturdy. However this might be a bit of an issue as it might be too heavy for some children to pedal.
My son already has the boy's version of this bike and it was great for him - I was delighted to be able to get it for my daughter.
Reasonably priced for the quality of the bike - cheaper bikes elsewhere are definitely not the same quality as this bike.

Pros: quality of product
Cons: brake levers too far for small kids
"Overall an excellent product, worth spending that wee bit more on this item than the slightly cheaper versions as the pedal arrangement is much better. This is a proper minature bike with the pedals in the right place to give kids a proper appreciation of what a bike should be like. It was very easy to put together with the minimum of tools. The only slight down side is the brake levers are a wee bit too far away from the handlebars for my daughter to reach fully. This is because she is quite small and it will not be long before this is no longer a problem. A geat buy, would recommend to anyone."

"I bought this bike for my 2 1/2 year old daughter for Christmas(age range quoted for 3+ but my daughter is taller than average and this is the perfect size for her) She absolutely loves it. She unwrapped it, jumped straight on and off she went, no problems at all.
I am so pleased to have opted for a 'proper' bike with normal tyres etc, opposed to the alternative plastic types available elsewhere.
Apollo is a reputable brand, as is Halfords so i felt comfortable with my purchase from start to finish."
