Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

The Radio Flyer Glide and Go is made using a classic design that will likely match your kid's wagon. Its padded saddle seat and the soft-grip handles make it comfortable to ride for hours, plus there's a working bell attached for even more fun.
This has adjustable seat height and has soft grips on handles for steering.
This has great geometry and build for the price. Also, it has a longer wheelbase for greater stability.
The steel version has an adjustable seat post with a lot of adjustment and a nicely cushioned saddle. The wooden version is less adjustable and has a set handlebar height as well. The steel Radio Flyer Glide N’ Go balance bikes also come with a real bell. Your child will love this. You might not love that feature as much as they do. The frames on the Radio Flyer all sit a bit higher than on other balance bikes in this review, so this Radio Flyer is geared more towards 3-year-olds. It is easier for an older toddler to balance and step over this frame design. They will also feel more in control with a higher frame.
