I've partnered with Mirum Shopper to share why we love the Schwinn SmartStart bike for our son, as well as a fun activity to share with your kids as they become confident bike riders!
Now that we're gearing up for summer, we're finding more time to spend evenings together as a family. One of our favorite activities is to go for a family walk or bike ride. Our son used to ride a scooter but has recently decided he'd rather ride his own bike! We headed to our local Toys"R"Us so he could pick out a bike with training wheels.
We were on the lookout for a Schwinn SmartStart bike because they focus on child-appropriate proportions when designing their bicycles. I've never really considered how a child's size could affect their biking abilities, but Schwinn's design changes make complete sense to me. Their smaller hand grips and seat sizes, plus adapted pedal positions make the Schwinn SmartStart bikes stand out.
They had a couple different Schwinn SmartStart options at our local Toys"R"Us. They had bikes for girls and boys, and really fun designs. I loved this Schwinn Burnout SmartStart bike as soon as I saw it. I just knew it was "the one" and I couldn't wait to surprise him with it.
He was so excited when he got home from school and saw his cool new bike in the garage. We grabbed his helmet and decided to set out for a test drive.
It didn't take him long to get comfortable on his new bike, and he was racing up and down our sidewalk and driveway. His little sister really wanted to tag along, too!
To help him gain confidence on his new bike, we decided to incorporate a fun game, Schwinn SmartStart Bike Trip Bingo, to keep our spirits high and give our little guy an occasional rest.
You can download this FREE set of printable Bingo cards thanks to Schwinn. My little ones are having a blast looking for things in our neighborhood to get Bingo first.
We really enjoy spending evenings together as a family. Even if we just get out for twenty minutes together, we all enjoy the time spent and it wears the kids out before bed. Plus, it's the nicest time of day in Florida!
Our son loves the control he has on his new bike. The Schwinn SmartStart design is very ergonomic and just perfect for his size.
It was so convenient for us to purchase our Schwinn SmartStart bike from Toys"R"Us. If you don't have a Toys"R"Us nearby, you can also order from Target, Amazon, or Academy.

This Schwinn bike looks like a great next bike for my nephew. I got him a Schwinn balance bike when he was 3 and a half and he LOVES it. He zooms around on that little bike, and a lot of kids don't end up needing training wheels. The StartSmart looks like a perfect upgrade to the balance bike.
