We got about two years per kid out of it (age 2-4). 4 years of amortized bike for something like $100 seemed pretty good, and it was in good enough shape after that we gave it to a neighbor. It's definitely not a 5 minute thing if used as the primary bike for a child too young for a pedal bike.
This. And I don't think I've ever see a 2-3 year old pedal a bike well. But holy-moly can they rock out on a balance bike.
